I will try to the best of my ability to not associate food with entertainment as I want my child to learn from a young age to engage in conversation than watch a screen.

My daughter is on her third day of gadget free especially when eating. I let her use coloring books and mats to keep her busy. Hopefully we succeed with our gadget free household.

Not really especially when we’re outside. I think it’s ok when they’re older but not when they’re young

No i do not think its a good practice. What happens if eating with other people/relatives. Not a good habit

That's fine for me. My daughter has learned a lot of good things from the songs and videos

I dont think its a good habit. There should be interaction with family during meal times

No. Meal time is family time. All of us have to eat and have a good talk.

Little ones may get upset & refuse to ewt when there are ads playing.

Honestly don’t like, but it helps me keep my sanity at times

Once in a while is ok. but don't want to make it a habit.
