Toddlers need laps more than apps.

Recently a screen-savvy 22-month-old toddler Ayaansh Kumar in US’ New Jersey, who is still in diapers has been in the news for having a $1,700-furnitureshopping spree while playing with his mom’s phone! The incident came to light after a steady stream of unexpected packages started getting delivered by Walmart at the Kumar family who had just moved into a new home. The mother - Madhu Kumar, had created a cart on her phone but never checked it out. “He just went to the cart and whatever was there, boom, he just clicked and all payments just went through,” father Pramod Kumar said. “He likes phones because everybody is in virtual. They are busy with their phones, his siblings are always with their phones and I don’t know, I think he needs a phone,” the mother said. The incident may seem to be funny and interesting, but this may also be a good reason to revisit your toddler’s screen exposure.
