"1) Allow time and use.
Once the child has started using the phone, set a time limit for the child to be allowed to use it. "From now on, I have to use it within the next hour... When should I save it?" I wrote about how many hours of screen time children should spend according to their age in a post titled Screen time with children. Asking to use it within a limited time does not affect the health of the child's eyes and nerves, and makes it easier for you to control the child.
2) Tell them that they should only use it once a day.
If you ask once in the whole day, for one hour, If you ask for it again, you should not allow it again. When the child asks to use the phone, explain it once. Remind them like, "After using this once for the whole day, you won't be able to use it for the rest of the day." In fact, when the child asks for it again, don't give it.
3) Take more time to play outside.
Especially those who live in the city and those who live in apartments. Apartments are also abundant. At that time, there is hardly any space to run and jump and play on the ground like in the past. When children's school tuition and other courses are filled with time, children have less free time. Less free time and less space to play means children spend more time on their phones. Therefore, understand your lack of free time and space. Parents should know where their children can play freely without spending a lot of money during their free time. In addition to that, you should adjust the time of the child's free time and set a time to play outside every other day. From that, the child's screen time will be reduced.
4) Spend time with your child as a parent.
Parents should also reduce screen time and spend time with their children playing alone. Children and school lessons together, such as setting a time to tell a story, mutual painting Play with the children at the beginning of the coloring time. If that is the case, children will not focus on screen time. Not like that, the parent is using the phone and puts the child next to him and says, "Don't use the phone. I often lose my eyes." It's not possible because I don't say it.
5) Set rules for people at home.
Children learn everything adults do. That's why the whole house sets rules not to use the phone when going outdoors. Establish a rule that no one can use their phone after 9:00 p.m. Parents should set a rule that no one from other relatives should play with the child's phone while parents are giving the child screen time.
Reduce your child's screen time as much as possible with the methods above. Children's nerves are damaged due to excessive use of phones. visual impairment; lack of concentration on other things; Restlessness We need to be aware that problems such as inability to concentrate in studies and many other problems can occur."
