Last week I made a throwaway comment about the amount of screen time my son is currently enjoying. It was a tongue-in-cheek reference because, to be honest, I donât really have many qualms about screen time. But since then Iâve had conversations with several parents who really do, not least because newspapers, blogs, and extended family members (crucially, never currently looking after toddlers themselves) have made them feel guilty about the fact their child is spending more time with screens right now.
