My daughter is approaching 3 and my wife has suggested a tablet either as a birthday or Christmas present, and I’m a bit hesitant. It’d be great for long trips, but I think as a day-to-day thing it might be a distraction. It’d get Spidey and Friends off the telly though. How and when did you handle this?

    In my opinion just don’t bother until there is a valid reason to. We gave our eldest child one when she was about 3 years old and it was the cause of behaviour issues and really distracted from creative play.

    Obviously there are different experiences to be had but I just wouldn’t recommend it.
