@missnearingsmontessori: Felt like ruffling feathers today 😂 Remember, I’m speaking early childhood and early childhood EXCLUSIVELY 🙂 (and before you ask, TV time is not the same as iPad time 😉) #teachersoftiktok #preschoolteacher #kindergarten #kindergartenteacher #montessori #montessoriteacher #technology #techfreekids #techfreeclassroom #techfreeparenting #ipadkidsarescary
Yea chances are my toddler will also need to use a car at some point in her life that doesn’t mean imma just let her drive

being bored is such an important feeling for kids to have and we’re absolutely destroying that chance

As a daycare teacher I know who has a tablet. We know. “But my kid has one and he’s good” no he’s not

That would require parents to actually parent and they would rather die than do that

Also. 8-9-10-12-13 year old kids DO NOT NEED A SMARTPHONE. You need to contact them? They can have a regular phone. Calls and txt. Enough.

I grew up without tablets as a 2000 baby and I can navigate the internet and technology better than 99% of my coworkers it may be hard but I won’t be handing my children a tablet

Early childhood sped teacher here. I absolutely agree and most kids on the spectrum don’t need it either unless they’re using it as an AAC device which in my experience most littles aren’t

And if you must use a screen they’ve shown a big tv they can’t control with high quality educational programming a la Sesame Street is much better than a tablet and then turn it off after one

we aren't teaching 2 year olds how to drive just because "they'll need it later". that argument for technology is so weak and so damaging to our kids

My grave is next to yours! I’ve got 3 and no tablets. We homeschool with a family laptop for certain subjects. I have heard I am allowing my kids to fall behind their peers w/o giving them tablets.

I’m not anti-tablet but I do intentional screen time. Low stimulating television, educational only videos and apps. If they are on a tablet, it’s challenging their brain and building dexterity 🥰

I don't think I'm a perfect parent but the only "tablet" time my kid gets is video chatting on MY phone with her family and is so excited to show them what she is playing with or reading.

agree! honestly all screens but am for sure the situation where the tablet ends up like a security blanket.

Can you give examples of things in your classroom that we could replicate for that age group at home? Maybe we are missing good ideas!!!

Mom of three, and afterschool care director. I will die on this hill too, and no YouTube. We have TVs in the home, but YouTube is banned. At the end of the day they choose to play instead of tv.

“They’re gonna need to use it later” ok?? By that logic why don’t we just teach them to drive??

coming from a secondary perspective- older kids don't need them either. your teens don't need a smartphone. the majority of kids I teach spend their entire day on a screen & aren't present in our

They can 100% be an amazing tool WITH moderation. My son uses one when allowed and he has learned things most adults don’t know. He only has educational games. But he also goes weeks without it and

and what about the parents that don’t have the privilege to have those spaces in the home ?? you think about it from a standpoint where everyone has all these things for there children and they don’t.
