According to this article, the screens of your smartphones or iPads can hurt your toddlers' brains. It is said that you should keep their eyes away from TV screens if they're 2 or younger, but what about handheld screens? The American Academy of Pediatrics say they can do the same kind of damage as a TV screen. Though this may be true, how could you get away with interactive toys with screens and such? Wouldn't it be the same thing?
Personally, if you're going to let a toddler play with a toy meant for it with a screen, there shouldn't be any problems with them watching TV or an iPad. If the danger was that bad they wouldn't market off those kinds of toys. If it keeps them entertained and happy, let them watch their shows.
