My toddler has learned sooooo much from toddler YouTube channels. I felt bad at first too, but she knows her colors, abc's, how to count, sings ALL the nursery songs. She's learning everything she would at daycare, plus some from being home. And they STAY busy being hooked lol
my 2 year old cousin knows the whole alphabet in sign language, having learned it from a youtube video
Seriously, people hate "screen time" so much, and none of the research behind it holds up. My toddler learned colors and letters and storytelling and songs at like a year old, because YouTube.

I use screen time with my toddler and we get to do lots of things together like learning to draw from Youtube, singing nursery rhymes and more. It's about being present with your child. We should move on from being worried about screen time to quality screen time.
Watching my 2 year old on YouTube kids, effortlessly flicking between songs in Dutch and English, singing both languages, and feeling so jealous I didn’t learn a 2nd language at her age! Also I’m so proud of her I could explode 😍
Screen time works wonders for many kids. My toddler learned his letters and how to count to 20 (and backwards) because of the YouTube videos he loves. Now he sits on the couch for an hour at night with his letter blocks saying their names (without the screen) <3
Hi, my 6yo (who’s autistic & has a speech delay) learned letters, numbers, colours & shapes as a toddler by watching pre-schooler songs on kids YouTube! Aligning with an interest helped, he loved the ones with train videos. He also likes Hairy Letters / Hairy Phonics... +
My 3 year old niece learned the ABC’s off YouTube and also Spanish nursery songs. Sometimes she says random stuff in Russian.
He knows the colors in Russian (thanks Russian egg videos)?! and he knows his English and Arabic letters and all of it was from cruddy YouTube videos lol. CRUDDY! Video/screen time is a medium, some kids learn well, some don't. But it is just as good for many as books <3

Tell me how my almost 2 year old little sister learned how to count to 10 in Spanish and English just by looking at YouTube videos
My 3 year old learned his ABC at 1 and sign language at 1 and 1/2 because of youtube and ipad #SocialParent
Hahahahaha! This is gold! How did they learn mandarin? My 3 year old niece is speaking Spanish from watching YouTube vids!
I know other parents hate the idea of screen time for a toddler but my son has learned so much from YouTube it’s kinda scary
