Parenting Tips: Nowadays most children spend too much time on the phone. This is the concern of every parent. Here are some tips on how a child can look less at the phone.
1). Fix a time table- Fix a time for the child to use the phone i.e. 10 or 15 minutes a day. Also fix a time for him to eat, sleep and play.
2). Monitor – Monitor what he watches and plays while handing over the phone. This will make him realize that this is all he has to do
3). Encourage non-phone games – A child will often put down the phone if there are better alternatives to play. So encourage this.
4). Educate about the dangers of phones: Explain the dangers of excessive screen time, cyberbullying and online threats. Explain the extent of damage to health.
5). Exercise self-control – limit your phone use in the presence of your child.
6) Do not be greedy- Do not be tempted to give your child a phone in return for good work.
7). Set an example- If he insists for the phone, set an example by not giving it so that in the coming days he doesn't ask for the phone again and again.
