Experts believe that children under 2-3 years of age should not be allowed to watch TV at all, but when the question arises of how to feed a child, showing cartoons comes to the rescue.
In turn, experts warn that such practices can cause developmental disorders in the child.
Experts have explained what problems children may experience if their parents allow them to watch cartoons while eating.
First, digestion
In such cases, children's attention is focused on the TV screen or gadget.
According to experts, this is why the child does not understand what he is eating. As a result, the mechanisms of digestion and assimilation of food may be disrupted.
Only in a calm atmosphere can healthy eating habits be developed.
Secondly, habit
The habit of eating in front of the TV screen can develop without you even realizing it.
In the future, this may affect family relationships, and difficulties may arise when it comes to eating out.
That is, watching cartoons while eating can also affect the child’s nervous system.
And one more important point. Parents should not show cartoons to children who have difficulties with speech or mental development.
