Agreed. No screens for toddlers. Screen time, specifically for videos, just does something awful to their brain. Kids can use screen time for age appropriate games, though they get more benefits from other types of games and electronic devices.

With that said, every child is different, and some will learn so much about a computer put in front of them. They’ll be curious and figure out directories, then go browsing through system files, then delete system32 and get yelled at a bunch, then a few days later after the parents fix it learn about the system settings and go tinkering in there, etc. Those kids are fucking brilliant.
