| Jan 11, 2022 at 21:53 | comment | added | Timur Shtatland | "I'd love to watch some short animation movies with him like Pixar's, but is it age appropriate?" No, IMHO, they are too scary. My kids agreed. "I find YouTube videos specifically aimed at kids very annoying..." I find them annoying too. That's part of the reason why we have successfully avoided them, and now we are way past them in age, so there. What is their value, anyhow? Any peer-reviewed studies to prove this "value"? So just say no to this "junk food for the mind". And don't get me started on video ads, made for kids or not - those are just plain Wrong. | |

If you're consistent - absolutely consistent - and don't use videos as rewards, there shouldn't be many melt downs. | |

I think it will be a while before Pixar or any full-length movie will work well. / Re how to limit the time in practice -- you can use software that puts the computer to sleep after x number of minutes (15 is probably plenty at age 2). | |
| Jan 11, 2022 at 4:52 | comment | added | aparente001 | Re flood gates -- your plan sounds good -- do the activity together and limit the time. / I wrote a simple program for one of my children when he was two and he liked it. There was a multi-colored grid on the screen. When he clicked with the mouse on one of the cells, a square puzzle piece of a family photo would appear. He saw everybody else spending time with a computer and I wanted him to have something he could do and enjoy on a computer too. The picture was chosen at random from a folder of photos I had prepared. It was pretty easy to set up this "game." | |
