Like most kids, DS3 loves to watch TV and play iPod/iPad/iPhone/etc. He is a little too good with touch screen and mouse pad that I would like to admit.

I am one of those stubborn parents who try to discourage him from screen time as much as possible. I want him to have human interaction instead of machine interaction.

Now with a newborn, I don�t have as much time to spend with him as I would like. A lot of time, he would just lay on the couch until I suggest something fun/challenging to do (e.g. new puzzles, snip circuits, mazes, books, etc).

I am starting to second guess myself if limited amount of screen time is better than just laying around.

I am all ears.

P.S. preschool is currently not an option because he easily gets sick from group setting, and I am afraid he would spread the germs to his sister.
