Are your kids ignoring you just because they’re too much involved in their mobile phones?
With the introduction of handheld mobile phones, tablets and what not, parents are becoming more and more worried about their children’s tech addiction. There are so many games and interactive apps for kids to learn something. But ultimately they are going to land up with the gadget. Isn’t it? The parents and the caregivers need to pay proper attention to their kid’s gadgets usage time. If possible, never introduce your kids to the gadgets in their younger age. Because you know addiction starts as younger and grows older in a jiffy. So here are some expert advice on how to keep your kid away from gadget-addiction.
1. Set the time to watch TV or use a mobile phone for your kids. Let him play some outdoor games or board games instead of the virtual ones (Video games).
