Managing toddler tantrums over phone screen time

It is common for toddlers to become attached to phones once they realize they can control the images on them. To help manage this, consider using 'kid-safe' apps that create a sandbox environment, allowing you to limit which apps are accessible. Using built-in timers that signal when 'battery life' is over can provide a clear, objective boundary that helps toddlers transition away from the device more easily and with fewer tantrums.
