Our solution? A little bit of screen time.
Screen time for young kids may be a big debate these days, but you can't knock it until you try it. I’m not expert, but I know that a few minutes here or there won't make or break my child's future. Especially when I’m trying to get dinner on the table.
If you were to open our "Recently Viewed" on Netflix Canada, it would reveal a smorgasbord of shows. Some for mom, some for dad and some for little girl. Let me correct myself - mostly for little girl.
