Kids and the mobile phone:

When kids get over addicted to the mobile, it becomes difficult to grab their attention towards other tasks.

You must restrict your children to limit their screen time , so that they can focus on other activities like playing, studying, dancing, singing or any sport.

They just want to be popular in the social media circle.They forget about their children and to their little needs. As responsible parents, we should set an example to our children on how to use the mobile phone responsibly and not to over use it unnecessarily.
Screen Time for Kids and Adults:
Screen Time should be limited for both adults and kids, so that they can enjoy family bonds and activities once again importance should be given to the overall development of the family and relations. The children should be taken for an outing every holiday to increase their vision about the outside world. There are many places of visit in the locals like museums, parks movies, exhibitions, beaches etc. Family bonding should be given priority over screen Time of the mobile.
Both parents and children should understand that the mobile should not overtake their lives. They should be willing to sacrifice their screen time to spend quality time with each other. They should have the inclination to say “no” to the mobile phone every day for sometime. The mobile should not be the cause of fights in the house. In this way, the responsibility of using the mobile should be achieved. Mindless surfing should be avoided in all circumstances .
Both parents and kids should understand each other and give the necessary space to use the mobile more sensibility and usefully. However, mobile is a useful gadget to do online shopping of groceries and saves us from going outside and buying daily things. All useful things can be done by parents keeping in perspective their kids needs and activities. Hope the mobile phone bridges the gap between parents and children in the future and helps to fill the empty space that it has created among families.
Here is a small poem amount screen time and the mobile:
A Mobile phone should not create gap
in the family by it’s crap
Both parents and children
should make other activities a win
They should give time to each other
and not allow the mobile to bother
Giving ample space for each other to survive
to achieve success and future highs
The right & needful use of the mobile
will surely go a long way in our life!
