Modern children spend almost all their time with gadgets in their hands.
If this not only worries parents, but also negatively affects the child’s condition or behavior, then measures should be taken to help the boy or girl spend less time on the phone.
First of all, parents themselves must set a positive example.
More time should be spent communicating with each other, doing hobbies, organizing family evenings and trips, so that the baby understands that there is other leisure. During such events, you should not use phones.
It is also necessary to designate smartphone-free zones in the house: kitchen, bathroom. At the same time, no one in the family should use gadgets.
It is important to remember that from childhood children copy the behavior of adults.
You shouldn't force your child to turn off their smartphone or take it away by force, or criticize modern technology. This will only have a negative effect.
In addition, you should help your son or daughter find an activity that will be an alternative to playing on the phone.
For example, if your child plays virtual games or communicates on social networks, then enroll him in a new club or section so that he has more acquaintances and entertainment, but in the real world.
If he mostly listens to music using gadgets, then you can enroll him in a music studio, invite him to concerts more often. It is important that the child chooses the direction himself.
