Put the iPad away.

You've got your 3-year-old in a stroller at the Bronx zoo, one of the best zoos on the planet.

You're walking between exhibits, but the whole zoo is full of wonder. Every 50 ft. there's another something to look at.

He doesn't need an iPad, and if he does, at 3, you're setting him up for bigger problems with attention, anxiety and focus later in life.

It's a zoo. It is the entertainment. You don't need to bring freaking cartons to the zoo.

Yes of course the kid likes it, it's captivating like crazy. The problem is that it sucks up all his attention.

Raise your kids however you want. Just read about the impact of unlimited screen time on little brains and what happens to kids who are always entertained / never allowed to experience boredom. It's not good.
