I don’t have any issue with people using screens for their kids if having dinner OUT (definitely not at home) but I do believe it should be a last resort in any circumstance!
We always pack pens and paper, sticker books, her favourite Peppa figures (including the little accessories such as a sofa, beds, bath and table and chairs) and it keeps her distracted for AGES! I also love the magic water colouring pads you can get and keep one in the car and bag at all times for emergencies! Once you’ve exhausted all your options and if you are trying to finish your meal, then I think a bit of screen time is fair enough…
..but we know for a fact that Ash chucks it in front of Alf the second they sit down. He’s definitely addicted and has come to expect it, as demonstrated by him talking about “Miss Rachel” the second he woke up the other day!!
Can you cope
