Are electronics safe for babies
My daughter is 3 years old and adopted. I've had her for 2 years now. When I got her she was crying non stop, now she will talk and laugh with everyone she meets.
I bought my little girl the newest iPad air 6 months ago to help her learn abc's and numbers and to entertain her when I'm busy, but it's gotten to the point where she can't go to sleep without her tablet, and she will be watching it even when I fall asleep then she's grumpy in the morning, if I take it she wont stop screaming.
Are tablets good for a child's brain? Are they harmful? I have heard of the radiation theory about brain damage from mobile phones but I do not know how accurate it is. I am concerned that the tablet may emit radiation that will harm my child's brain.
My question is twofold: Is the tablet good/bad for her developing brain and how can I take it from her without her screaming?

Screen time before bed is a very bad idea. It will impair sleep, for adults and children. There are a ton of resources about this online, here is just one: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5390665/ I would want to see a lot of good research before believing that a screen is effective at teaching a preschooler anything.
If you need to use a tablet during the day for a breather, fine, but stop doing it at night, and I wouldn't be telling myself that I was doing a world of educational good by using one, because that likely is not true, no matter what the people selling the software want you to think.
I don't know what you mean by "radiation theory".
