I traveled on a bus recently and sat next to a young woman with a very young child in a stroller. The little girl was watching something on mum's mobile. When it finished she made a grunting noise (clearly too young to talk) and the mother downloaded something new and handed the phone back. I was appalled: getting a child hooked to a screen which would become her slave master. No interaction with anyone or anything else. Sad.
On the flip side, I have a 3 1/2 year old boy. We always play with bigger kids at the park. We bring sticks of all sizes and get great games of war going. It's madness! 😁
