Shall we give our children electronic pad like an I-pad or a Samsung Galaxy Tab?

Well although I have done my reading and I knew that we should not let our children watch too much TV or even use a-pad before the age of 2; however I have totally failed in executing this theory.

My hubby bought JY a Samsung Galaxy Tabs 3 as her 2 years old birthday present! Before getting this tab, she had already been using my I-pad for some times. She usually stream the You Tube videos playing kids songs until later on, she started to watch "products review"! Yes, I am saying "products review". She watch how people opening each piece of the Surprise Eggs for example, and how people use Play Dough to wrap the Surprise Egg and dressing up the Princess dolls!

There is no return of giving a kid an I-pad or a tablet I think. JY now cried non stop whenever I decided to keep her tab....until I would give her back or bring her out!! I enjoyed letting the i-pad or tablet baby sitting JY for me while I can do other things but worry that this would ruin her eyesight and make her unable to focus when start schooling! Well, everything has its pro and con I guess. The good thing is JY could sing the ABC song before she approached 2 years old and recognized all the capital and small letters from A to Z without "anyone" teaching her. She learned it from the You Tube!

Can I obtain a balance by getting our kids out more often while still letting them jiggling around with these electronic pad???  I wonder.....

Let's go outside so that we can stop using electronic items and instead watching the birds and trees..... and of course taking some fresh air and sunshine... Showing JY with JL in our old fashion stroller. The old fashion stroller enable JL to have her 360 degree unobstructed view.
