Is it unhealthy to have your toddler watch TV before bedtime? How do you wean him off the TV/phone videos. My son is almost 2 yrs old and has recently been hooked to youtube educational videos. Although the content is perfectly fine, I just do not want him to grow up hooked on gadgets/tv shows. TIA!

I don't know if I could say it's unhealthy, but there has been research that suggests minimizing screen time for 2-year-olds and younger to nearly no screen time at all. I think this generation is bound to be wired to gadgets regardless, but you might want to consider is worrying about is his attention span and sleep cycle. Screens actually emit a certain spectrum of light that is present, naturally, during the day. Exposure to this particular spectrum can trick the eye and body into being more alert and awake...which doesn't mix well with bedtime. Here's some more info on that, and why you might want to consider watching videos sooner than bedtime: http://ikeepsafe.org/be-a-pro/balance/no-screen-time-before-bed/
