Q&A: Is it bad to let my baby watch TV?
Welcome to Questions from Sapiens, where I answer your questions about psychology, technology, and parenting. A few days ago, I answered a question about declining test scores. Today, we’ve got another one (behind the paywall) about babies watching TV.
Remember to submit your questions for future Q&As here!
How bad is it for my baby (4 months) to see the TV sometimes? I saw this reel on Instagram about putting a sheet over the front of the baby’s play gym to block their view of the screen, but is that really necessary? I want to watch a show or movie with my older kids sometimes, so it’s hard to stop the baby from watching, too.
The theme of our recent questions is “doubting the stuff we saw on social media” and this, techno sapiens, is how I know you are my people.
