Whenever your kids are on holidays, aren\u2019t you tired of listening that Mom! I am bored; can I watch TV for some time? And they end up watching TV, Mobile game or iPad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you know that, according to a survey, more than 83% of kids say that they use electronic devices more than 3 hrs per day and 85% of moms allow their preschooler to play with their phone. 1 out of 10 kids between age 5 and 8 are allowed unlimited use of the Internet without any parental monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) recommendation:<\/strong> How to manage screen time of your child:<\/strong> There is no harm in using devices when used for communication and development rather than entertainment. The most important part is that every family should have media-free time. Use high-quality media that can help children develop important skills, and there are some great games and apps in the market that support reading, math, and other skills. Use face-to-face interactive media such as video call to grandmother, which can promote healthy development in your child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whenever your kids are on holidays, aren\u2019t you tired of listening that Mom!
