At barely two, our toddler is starting to ask to “see see” the phone more and more.

Any tips?

You and your wife are probably chronically sleep deprived and not being engaging enough for the child. The phone is an easy answer for entertainment. The child's vocabulary isn't sufficient to express "Damn, y'all are boring me to death here! I need my mind fed, people!" any way other than asking to "see" the phone.

Solution: Find other ways to be adequately interesting to your toddler. A two year old has substantial need for intellectual inputs. Make sure the phone is not the only non-boring option available to them.
