What age did you get your kid a tablet? (lemm.ee)

My daughter is approaching 3 and my wife has suggested a tablet either as a birthday or Christmas present, and I’m a bit hesitant. It’d be great for long trips, but I think as a day-to-day thing it might be a distraction. It’d get Spidey and Friends off the telly though. How and when did you handle this?

Not weird at all.

When you're controlling, they only get but so much, so every second matters.

Once they're free, there's no pressure, no consequences for using it like a normal human being.
