Baby's best bedtime.

My daughter is 18 months old last Wednesday the 4th. She likes to play toys, composed certain gestures and entertain us make us so happy. When it comes to feeding her, she would always ask for rhymes to be played. She would watch till she finishes her food. She also refused to sleep until she watch her favorite 'the wheel on the bus' and 'baby shark'. My wife had no lullaby of her own yet since our daughter sleeps watching the rhythms. Not only my daughter but most of the babies of this generation are exposed to smartphones or other gadgets to relieve ourselves. Recently I was disturb of this act as a parent, thinking what if it affects their eyes? Or is there any other side effects?

Parents nowadays find it easy to give a smartphone into the kids hand, so that they won't cry, pester or bother you. Even the innocent kids don't know what it it is but they find it attractive.. My personal opinion is a strict NO

i had a subject about child's speech and i learned that you should talk to your kid as much as you can and not let it use smartphone. why? kids learn to speak by listening and imitating sounds and some of these rhymes can be unclear and the kids can develop speech problems. also, kids prefer voices of their parents rather than the ones on smartphone. try to talk to your kid more.

@Koningjoy i hope you'll consider my advice - talk to your kid, when he makes face or giggles talk to him like he said something "oh what are you saying? yes, i agree with you. REALLY??" - it motivates kids to interact with you. try reading to your kid, specially books with pictures and show them simple things - they won't understand it at that age, but it will help them to learn later.

Thank you so much for the advice. There are many kids in the village who start to talk very late. And now I know why......

Exposure to smartphone and internet at this age is not good
