Even though there are screens almost everywhere (TV, tablets, and phones), I really shouldn’t watch any screens until I turn 18 months old. Even then, I shouldn’t watch very much – and, you should watch things with me and talk to me about what we see! However, it’s okay for me to be on screens if it means staying connected to loved ones. If my parent is gone or if you want family that lives far away to see me, it’s okay for me to look at them on video! When you use this app to send messages, it’s okay to show me when my parent sends an emoji or when they add a picture of themselves to the media gallery – it helps for me to see them and know they are thinking about me.
