Parenting in Digital Age








Do you worry about increasing screen time of your Child/Children?
Like most of us If your immediate answer is ‘YES’, Read further.👇🏻

Look for the solution rather than punishments. Children need to know how to and what to do in their free time.

Only saying the following phrases won’t help you and child:- 

“don’t watch TV

“Don’t play games”

“Stop watching YouTube”

“Keep away all the gadgets”. 

Do you find yourself saying these words more often, as children are at home due to pandemic?

Well, one thing we all need to understand that due to all the technological development all over the world, screen time is here to stay. We need to channelise our child to mindful watching. So here is a hands on guide for all the parents. 

Expectation setting

>3D view video games before the age 12, can be harmful.

>2D view games and logical puzzles shall be encouraged.

Encourage children to play board games, intellectual games, puzzles from an early age to develop logical thinking abilities. And to keep them away from video games.

Moving further, we parents need to be little careful and mindful while handing over gadgets to our children. 

SCREEN TIME IS HERE TO STAY. BUT TO KEEP KIDS SAFE AND HEALTHY, HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO.

>TV channels/Shows shall be according to child’s age. Did you know that every cartoon shows have a minimum age for there viewers? We never try to find out these little details. 

>Screen time is not recommended before 2/two years of age. 

> Parents should know when it’s too much.

>Understand the full range of media in your child’s life and limit non-school related screen time to under 2 hours per day. 

>Don’t give them to eat in front of the tv or other screen. Make meal time......family time. 

There are certain rules for screen viewing:-

>Distance rule- 5 times of screen time. 
>Illumination rule- 3 times of screen 📺 light. 

Remember while no amount of TV viewing will permanently damage your child’s eyes, prolonged viewing can induce temporary eye strain. When TV is on, keep the room adequately lighted . Also make sure the child doesn’t sit too close to the Screen. Remember the formula shared above.

How to get your child to read

Image
Every parent wants his/her child to be a reader. Some children develop this habit on their own and some with little effort from parents can easily master it.   As a parent if you are struggling to inculcate reading habits in your children, you need to first identify the underlying problem with it.  Few of the struggles with the child/parent face can be:- 👉🏻 It sometimes happens that child has not been right phonics knowledge. Does he have issues with fluency of the language ?  👉🏻 Low vocabulary build up can also be the reason for child not wanting to read. It happens that child is only guessing the words in the books because of poor vocabulary skills. But whatever the cause, if your child feels that reading is too much work, begin by identifying and addressing his areas of weaknesses. As he becomes a better reader, he will enjoy reading much more. No, you need not need to worry at all. This is no rocket science. Just a few lifestyle changes will help....
