When it comes to screen time, I think it's all about balance. Prior to having my daughter I was of the mind that there'd be zero screen time until she was two. That went out the window. I have tried to limit it, but we have some better days than others. There are days my kids have watched way too much Sprout. But, I'll say that my five year old, screen time having daughter has an incredible imagination, a creativity that blows me away, is a stellar reader who LOVES books and will always choose to go outside over watch a screen.. I think the CONTENT of the screen time matters greatly as well. We do almost all educational programming for the most part. My daughter does watch some My Little Pony and what not now, but it's mostly educational. She's allowed to turn her brain off at times though, as we should all be allowed to. In all things - BALANCE! Relax, enjoy your unique little one and just follow her lead.. She'll show you where she wants to go.
