I'm ready to go cold turkey with screen time. It has gotten out of hand, and I just want to throw out the tablet, or save it just for when we travel.
I usually download videos, and I thought my 4 year old would get bored of the same 4 videos since it has been a month since I updated it, but apparently she still finds them interesting.
Firstly- is this harmful? To just stop cold turkey?
What do I even tell her?

U did that with a 2 year old. Was a tough 2 weeks but so worth it. Don't have it at home so it's not an option for you to give in. Make sure u buy some new interesting toys so it's easier.

I cut down 90% & only allow 1 day v. every day.
I explained ahead of time (no more watching, no more devices) & planned w/ activities & a&c, toys etc to keep kid busy.

It’s definitely not harmful. What you say depends on your child. You could say we’re putting it away for a while and we’re going to do other things instead.
We’re taking a break from it.
The iPad is sleeping.
With this age, you can keep it simple.

I did it once and it was hard for a few days but worth it.

We did it over the summer while we were upstate and my kids were out playing all day 100% worth it. Get a bunch of audio stories my daughter loves that too and it doesn't make them crazy.
