Protecting Childhood: Why Keeping Smart Devices Away from Kids is Essential

Welcome back,
In today's blog we will talk about why it is really important to keep the smart devices away from your kids. This is something anyone who is a new parent will agree with after reading or maybe even before reading this blog.

When our kids are introduced to the smart devices like tablets and mobiles at a young age of 1-2 years they get used to them very badly. There are cases in which the kids can't spare a moment without seeing these devices.

One real life incident from my relative's daughter is in my knowledge where the daughter was 3 years old, and she use to watch television for hours and hours. She will not eat anything if the television is closed.

The parents can't see their kids crying and that is how they allow them to continue with this bad activity of using the smart devices further. I want to ask something from the readers here, please do answer this question to me.

A person who is used to taking drugs, he is your brother or sister or any close relation, he asks you to provide him drug and if you don't give him drugs, he starts crying and shouting. Now is this shouting enough for you to give him drugs back again?

If yes, then you are actually not helping him but helping yourself from the situation you are in.

Similarly in the case of a child, you are not helping him but yourself from the situation where the child is crying and shouting. First of all, make sure that you tell everyone around the kid to never show their smart devices to your kids.

There are countless activities that can be done with the kids like playing in the ground, taking them on a trip, etc. Secondly, if they are already used to these smart devices then find your child's interest and get them indulged in those activities.

If they like going out, take them out but don't let them use these smart devices. Give them toys, different types of toys and sit with them and talk to them in their language. Become a child and that is how your child will leave the habit of seeing smart devices with time.

Thank you
