If you are a parent then nothing can be more worrisome than the words “screen time”
it is a double edged sword in today’s times, when a child is surrounded with screens all around him. phone, laptop, tablet, desktop, everyone possesses some or the other form of screen and your child is exposed to it in ways you cant control. the most trending and convenient devices are the iPad and the smart phone, which is making our children dumber by the day.
keeping kids away from their screens is becoming a challenging task. there are many activities that can be substituted for screen time for eg. activity boxes, free play, montessori play, flash cards .
most of these require supervision and cant keep kids busy for a long time, hence people tend to give digital devices to their kids especially busy parents like me !
