The fact that children are too actively involved with gadgets is obvious and indisputable.

This has a negative impact on physical health, psychological development and social skills.

Therefore, it is worth knowing how to reduce your child’s need for gadgets.

What secrets will come in handy?

Build the right relationships from the start

Don't "buy off" your child with a tablet or smartphone: spend more time together. Try to make it clear right away that gadgets are just an assistant and one of the elements of leisure.

Spend your time interestingly

If you simply take away a child's phone without offering any alternatives, it will be a disastrous decision. The child will not get rid of the addiction, but will simply languish in boredom, experts say.

Therefore, it is worth offering your child decent leisure options.

Children take an example from you

Many parents believe that they can behave as they want. They suggest that children simply obey and not analyze the behavior of adults.

The educational process doesn't work like that. You should never demand from a child something that you yourself don't do.
