Clinical psychologist at Sumaang advises parent HOW to completely cut off screen time when electronics are such a common item in our life.
1. Instead of giving children screen time while feeding let them eat with their own hands. Yes it can get messy but the stimulation trains them.
2. If your child cries a lot when screen time is restricted it might mean they do not get enough mental stimulation. Talk to them about everything going on in your life. Tell them every little detail. That is how they learn vocabulary.
3. Sometimes caregivers or nannies go against parent’s instruction and expose them to electronics. As parents tell them why they should not do it.
Only by educating the people who surround your child about the dangers of screen time on brain development in children we can facilitate their overall development.
