Hi, so my DC is over 3 now, loves my phone, and although it seemed a good idea at the time, I am aware of course that it is not good for him to be on it a lot, it's Children’s stuff and videos/music on YouTube, a lot of Peppa Pig 😀
It has been great to keep distracted indoors, especially when I need a breather or got stuff to do, I don't feel bad about this as I am a single parent right now.
But it also means I have to give my phone up which I need especially at the moment for lots of different things, plus we have no radio or tv, so I like to also play music on it whilst doing cooking/housework etc, then he's running it down before we go out, as it's been helpful to use whilst getting ready to leave the house, not good thar I then have to leave with a flat battery. I want to find something else DC can use instead, I didn't want to have to go down the route of getting a tablet etc, as plus I wouldn't have a way of connecting it to the internet anyway. I don't think DC will go for one of these kid screens I've seen, which look like a tablet but you just press the squares and they play things, other things I've seen have a small display. So it's finding something electronic plus a few extra things that DC can do indoors, also becoming torture now 7 days a week on my own, for 3 years, can not wait for nursery to start which will only be a few hours a day, but it's a start 🤦♀️😳
