I have cut out just about all screen time for my 3 year old. I totally agree that my time and attention is what she needs. Not iPad games, cartoons, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-read-1#post-714195 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 11:01:40 +0000 chopsuey 714195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: oh yeah totally. It's a natural part of parenting!<br /> M's been getting a lot more screen time since baby J arrived so this article hit close to home. :T cut her tv time almost completely yesterday and today. Partly bc of this article, but also bc p's home :P :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-read-1#post-714192 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 10:59:33 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 714192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are studies showing that those reading videos are really not good for development and confer no reading advantage anyway.</p> <p>My daughter is almost 3 and is doing a lot of reading activities. If she shows interest and asks, we work on it. When she doesn't we don't. I see no harm in interacting with her on things that she is interested in... but that extra extra did hit close to home as I have definitely been in the intellectual stimulation camp. It gave me a lot to think about for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-read-1#post-714181 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 10:46:03 +0000 mrbee 714181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I think it's ok to teach things (typical American!)... just not at the cost of social skills and secure attachment? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-read-1#post-714174 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 10:35:16 +0000 chopsuey 714174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Yep! My parents weren't obsessed with teaching us how to read, etc. All I remember from my early childhood is playing outside and family time.<br /> Somehow (:P :D) all of us ended up doing well academically--English prof, surgeon and an almost lawyer turned SAHM :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-read-1#post-714161 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 10:31:05 +0000 mrbee 714161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: interesting! Kind of in line with that Extra Extra that said Americans are too obsessed with intellectual stimulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-read-1#post-714132 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 10:19:25 +0000 chopsuey 714132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://rewireyourbrainforlove.com/your-baby-shouldnt-read/" rel="nofollow">http://rewireyourbrainforlove.com/your-baby-shouldnt-read/</a> </p>
