Switching off: Parents urged to keep infants away from digital screens
TORONTO — Vanessa Lewis couldn’t imagine watching her kids grow up bombarded by digital screens — so she effectively banned the technology from their sight.
Making a pact with her husband, the couple decided even talking on a smartphone in the vicinity of their infant twins was unacceptable.
“If we needed to use our phones we would leave the room,” the Toronto mother says.
“We’ve made a real effort not to have our phones available to them.”
