Amazon's 'digital pacifier' for toddlers draws criticism

Original: Amazon’s “digital pacifier” for toddlers

Amazon's line of children's tablets and screens is being described as a 'digital pacifier' for toddlers, a critique of how devices are used to occupy very young children. The debate touches on screen time for under-fives, parental convenience and the role of tech companies in shaping early childhood habits.

Why now: Concerns about screen time for very young children are a recurring flashpoint, and a pointed framing of Amazon devices as toddler pacifiers is reigniting the debate.
