I was cruising around the Internet looking for a good baby/toddler topic to post about, I came across a search result titled "Does your toddler need an IPad?"
I'm gonna stop you right there Internet. NO! No toddler needs an I-anything. It's a toddler!
Now don't get me wrong, if your toddler has special needs, or your family is in special circumstances, then by all means, get an IPad and download all the helpful apps you need. I've heard great things about apps that help children with autism expand their vocabulary.
Now to clarify my clarification: you being to stressed out from working all day and your kid being grumpy after day care is not a special circumstance.
I cannot think of another good reason to give a toddler electronics. If you can, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it is an excuse and not a good reason.
Interact with your child. Don't let a battery powered toy or a TV show teach your kid the alphabet, have fun doing it yourself. Don't buy something to do your job.
Rant over!
Hope you all find some time to enjoy some quality time with your cave babies this week!
