Electronic babysitter is a term used to describe the use of electronic devices to keep children occupied and well-behaved. While this term has been coined to describe the overreliance on devices like smartphones, tablets, and video games to keep children engaged, there are other synonyms that can also be used. Some of these include digital babysitter, screen-time nanny, techno nanny, cyber nanny, and gadget babysitter. These synonyms essentially convey the same idea as the electronic babysitter and are meant to emphasize the tendency of parents to rely on devices to distract children instead of providing a more interactive and engaging environment.
