Wife doesn't want screen time for son but he is advancing very quickly because of it.

My wife is strongly against screen time and I'm in favor of it. The first 16 months of his life he had no screen time. Starting around then I decided to ignore the AAP recommendations (don't get me started on the poorly structured studies they used to reach their conclusions) and gave him 30 minutes several times a week and since then my son has advanced rapidly. He didn't know any letter or numbers before and wasn't super verbal, but now he is only 20 months and knows the entire alphabet, he's starting to count numbers, can name most of the objects/animals/shapes/colors that show up in the videos etc. By all measures he's now advanced for his age. I want to continue and even up his screen time but my wife is still fighting me every time we give him the tiny bit of screen time we do.Aside from the fact that it seems to also be promoting his development, i think it's also been a boon to our personal sanity and marriage. Those few times a week when he gets screen time my wife and I can actually talk to each other and enjoy each as other spouses, we can get stuff done around the house together, get a break, etc.Anyone else have any thoughts about 1) screen time OR 2) how to handle these kind of disagreements? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2ar00oj
