My just turned 4yo - similar I guess. Zero screen time until he was 2. Knew his abcs by 1.5, but reading on his own around 3 and a bit. Now He gets 1 episode of something in the morning. 1 ep in the evening and that's it. Maybe a movie on the weekends. He can entertain himself well. Love books. Today I took him to the doctor, we had to wait and he just chilled and looked at a book. I've never given him my phone to watch something.

I don't know if it's him or genetics or the strictenss around screentime, but he is a pretty easy kid to deal with these days.

TV isn't all bad. Octonauts is cool. He knows so many sea creatures from that show. Creature Cases is another good one.
