The Self-Driven Child

What Hacker News says

1. thenerdheadJul 2022
   Whatever you do, don’t give them free access to devices or the internet before a certain age. Some parents give their kids iPads as early as two and you can see the behavioral challenges and addiction they struggle with as they get older.

   All of the answers to your questions are personal to you and your beliefs. The only considerations are to set some ground rules for using these things, moderate how long they can be on them a day, and have a trusting relationship about what they are doing on it by asking them regularly and caring without being too protective.

   You may benefit from reading “The Self-Driven Child”.

   Very interesting! I've also seen this in a number of books about raising kids. The Self-Driven Child recently was the one on my mind.
