Good discussion point. I am with you in that it depends on the family. When ours were very young, the only tv they were allowed to watch was PBS kids. And I watched with them, we discussed shows like Sid the Science Kids and the moral lessons in Caiou and Authur. My youngest has severe ADHD, his tablet is sometimes the only way to get him to focus. All of the doctors in the world can put out any "guidelines" they want, but it is up to each parent to decide what is right for their family. Maybe new parents wouldn't be so unsure of themselves if they were constantly being told they were doing it wrong. That woman had no right to shame you about how you raise your children. As I said before, my youngest couldn't sit still to read a book at 4 and 5 years old, but he taught him self to read by sitting next to his brother for a couple of hours every weekend and matching the subtitles on his video games with the words he could hear. Every child is different. That's what makes them so wonderful♥
