Baker Mayfield's wife Emily reveals smart alternative to keep their one-year old hooked- "We don't do screen time"
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily welcomed their first child, daughter Kova Jade in April 2024. The Mayfield's often share photos on Instagram of their family time together with their young daughter.
This weekend, Emily Mayfield gave a glimpse at her and Baker Mayfield's parenting style with their first child. She showed a digital picture frame on her counter and revealed that they don't allow their daughter Kova to have any type of screen time yet. Instead, their one-year-old daughter loves watching photos transition.
"We don't do screentime yet, but she loves this. And now she points to us in the pictures and will say 'Mama, Dad, or Bubba (Ferg)."-Emily Mayfield shared on her Instagram Story
Emily Mayfield shared that the digital photo frame is her daughter's own version of a television.
Emily and Baker Mayfield's decision to not allow their daughter any screentime could come as a surprise to some in this day and age. Most young children can become addicted to watching television or videos on tablets and phone which some believe could hinder development at a young age.
