While I agree with Redwitch, I'm concerned. Our grand niece is kept away from screens of any type until age two, and then only very limited use till age 4, due to studies that have been on the effects of watching screens on brain development.
The only down side of that is the lack of Skype time her grandparents can have with her, as they live so far away.
However, that has made both grandparents and parents double the efforts to see each other. (The mother travels for work, brings the toddler with her, and the grandparents meet her, rent an apartment, and baby-sit.)
All that Baby Einstein stuff has proven to have a negative effect on brain development and ability to focus.
