A lot of people I know give their toddlers tablets (or at least access to tablets) to watch television a large part of the day. LO isn't a toddler yet but as of right now, I don't even think to turn the TV on when we're home by ourselves (DH will turn it on on the weekends) so having TV and a tablet for her would seem overwhelming to me. She sometimes looks at the pictures on my phone but it's not often.

Is this common though now? I didn't want her to have much screen time while she's little so I could encourage interactive play but should it still be introduced at some point? Maybe not in the next year or two but while she's still small and learning? My concern comes with the possibility that schools, even at young ages, might be using tools like this and that maybe she should know at least how to navigate one?

That sounds dumb when I write it out because I don't know why she would need to work a tablet when she's a toddler. I was just looking for some insight and to see how many people here give their toddlers tablets for games/television on an incredibly regular basis.

Also, will it confuse her if other kids similar in age to her have them all the time and she doesn't have one or has limited access? I still don't want her to have a lot of screen time, I'm just curious about this and of course I mean when she's older, not now since she's only six months old and completely content with her toys (sorry this was so long, it was just a rant and some questions that came up in my head).
