Regarding screen time for 2-year-olds, AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) guidance is clear: 18-24 months only video calls; 2-5 years at most 1 hour daily, preferably watched together with a parent, quality content.
At this age, the best "educational video" is actually content where the child is an active participant, not a passive viewer. Slow-paced, repetitive content showing simple daily events (like a child brushing teeth, washing hands, animal sounds) that isn't overstimulating works better. Being present while watching and asking "look, the dog is barking, can you do that too?" transforms passive viewing into a learning opportunity.
Important to remember: at age 2, children learn best through human interaction, books, open-ended toys, and exploring the natural world. Video is an occasional tool—not the primary teaching method.
