Err, I'm with Klaus on this. I'm not gonna tell ya how to bring your kid 
up, but I was in front of screens that young and I have myopia. When 
kids're young they sit a few inchs away from a screen because their eyes 
can at that age. The problem is when you get older and you 
subconsciously force your eyes to do it. Eeventually, you start 
straining the muscles that focus your eyes. I was having cracking 
headaches for a couple of years, and eventually my GP told me to go to 
the opticians.
