In this episode of The Parenting 411 Podcast, I discuss renewed concerns about screen time for babies and toddlers. A new UK review recommends no intentional screen use for children under two due to risks to development, health, sleep, language, bonding, emotional regulation, and long-term quality of life. I invite listeners to consider what screens may replace during a period of rapid brain development, including physical and vocal interaction with parents and caregivers. I offer practical alternative tools for handling meals, errands, meltdowns, bedtime, and managing parental phone habits.
