This is the discussion and readings I am seeing everywhere presently.

What is your experience about this?

What can we do to minimise it?

Do you follow any strategies for it?

Let us put some facts together so we know the severity and intensity of this issue.

Being a healthcare practitioner I have come across kids who have developed developmental problems due to exposure to screens at early age.
This can range from cranky behaviour of the kids to showing delayed milestones or traits of autism.
I think in this busy schedule, parents feel this is the easy and convenient way to keep kids busy.
But the day any kid gets his hands on the devices their creativity is lost.
The visual activity and speed of the videos/ games or whatever they are doing activates their neurological reflexes.
If they start spending much time on screen they expect same response from every activity and person around them. They become impatient and restless.
Slowly this makes them violent as things are not done according to their desire
I guess it is easy for parents to give them some devices so parents can use theirs.
Kids especially toddlers learn from examples so if we set right example in front of them they will learn from it.
We as parents need to put efforts rather lot of efforts to minimise unnecessary use of electronic devices.
Several studies have shown that this affects the overall development of kids, delays the important milestones.
This behaviour makes them shy and they have low confidence as they are not aware of the behaviour in the social circle.
The observation power is lost and this leads to physical health issues.
During Pandemic, when kids were stuck at home the cases of eye disorders like myopia, dry eyes etc.
It is very important for kids of growing age to be outdoors for 60 mins. The exposure to sunlight, fresh air and hence helps to improves immunity of the body.

If you have used some of the strategies to minimise the use of devices do let us know.
