Should you or should you not introduce gadgets to you little one? My 14months old can now identify the youtube app, go in, select her videos, press the play button and adjust the volume when she finds it too soft.. She doesn't ask for it but when I see she's able to do all that at her age I feel a little worried and wonder if I'm introducing it to her too early? On the other hand, she learns a lot of good things from those videos...

Hi my 2 elder kids love the iPad. They have learrnt alot through Youtube videos and educational apps. It has also been a helpful tool during some awful tantrums. However, I struggle with using it too often too just like you. I think it's all a matter of moderation. I let them use the iPad after they have finish all their important stuff such as bath, dinner, homework etc. And I limit it to about half an hour. I think with younger kids you might want to let her use it for a shorter duration. Important to let them rest their eyes too after watching to prevent myopia.
