The actress recently revealed that she keeps the tablets locked in a safe to limit the time her daughters spend on them.
Talk with Better homes and gardensDrew says she pulls out an iPad sometimes – but only for “special occasions”.
“We watch a ton of movies and shows, so I don’t judge anyone on the screens. But when it comes to my kids, I’m not a big fan of personal electronics, like iPads,” said explained the talk show host.
“During the pandemic when schools were virtual we were all forced to be on our separate devices and I didn’t like that.
“Now I keep the iPads in a locked safe and they only come out on special occasions. I’d rather the three of us piled into my bed and watched together.
