How much iPad time is actually OK?

My 5 year old watches YouTube Kids for maybe 30 mins a day. Sometimes more on weekends. Everyone I know seems to have a different opinion on this. Some parents let their kids basically live on screens, others don't let them touch a device til they're teenagers. What's realistic? I want him learning stuff but not just zoned out all day.

Yeah the opinions vary wildly. We try to keep ours outside as much as possible but even we do screen time some days. The fact that you're monitoring it and keeping it mostly to YouTube Kids shows you've got your head on straight.

30 minutes on weekends doesn't sound unreasonable to me. We do similar with our two, and honestly the debates online make it way more stressful than it needs to be. You're being thoughtful about it which puts you ahead of most people.
