Parents give themselves devices, increase screen time in children
Sometimes when children cry, parents give them a mobile or even a tablet to calm them down. Due to this, the children calm down immediately, but in the future, this may have serious consequences.
In fact, after the completion of the age of nine, when these children come in contact with other children in the outside society, they cannot make friends with others quickly due to the habit of excessive screen time. Can't keep up with them properly. Their concentration decreases. Also their ability to work is affected. And simultaneously children become single minded.
Recently, a study was conducted at the Harvard University Center of Developing Child to find out the impact of screens on children, in which some useful things came out. It found that by the age of nine, children who use mobile phones or tablets excessively have poorer academic performance. Their development is less.
Research has also revealed that this causes harm to mental health. The study clearly states that children are harmed by giving mobiles or even tablets in childhood. Giving a mobile phone is like taking away childhood. Children need to be engaged in social activities. This helps in physical and mental development of children.
Give maximum answers to children's questions
First of all, screen time needs to be scheduled. Give children the opportunity to ask as many questions as possible, also answer their questions as far as possible. Small household chores can be assigned to children. For example, children should be taught how to put their clothes in an orderly manner.
