Video insights

@mike_on_parenting's TikTok video "I don’t give my kids an iPad at restaurants. Or in the car. Or while we’re waiting for something. Or when they say, “I’m bored.” Or just because we have 10 minutes to kill. There are really only 2 places I’m totally good with the iPad: 👉 On the couch 👉 On an airplane Because the iPad is entertainment. It doesn’t need to be the solution for every boring, quiet, or inconvenient moment. Kids can be bored. They can wait. They can look around. They can talk. They can figure out what to do. And honestly… those moments are often where some of the best creativity and independence come from. That doesn’t mean I’m anti-screen. I’m just intentional about when I use it. Want some alternatives that actually keep kids engaged without handing them a screen? Comment “IDEAS” and I’ll send them your way. #calmparenting #parentingtips #parentingtools #screenfreeplay #parentingsupport" has 2,777 views, 62 likes, 0 comments, 4 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
