Technology usage by kids - ParenthoodDiaries #99

"I will be shifting to my friend's home. His parents allow him to watch mobile phone and TV"...

Is it sounding familiar to few parents at least?.
Keeping Bharat & Bhuvan away from screen has been a major task for Ravi and myself. As we do it, we get to enjoy a lot of drama & dialogues, one sample is mentioned above.
They have now started saying to us - "You both keep looking at your laptops (while working from home). You Tube works in your laptops and the same comes in TV and mobile as well, how's TV or mobile different from your laptops?".
When I say that I work in my laptop, they say that watching TV is their work.
Games in mobile is another bond-breaker stuff. How much ever we try to not expose them to digital games, they hear everything during their play time with other children.
At the same time, they make wonderful drawings, learn complicated vocals and learn multiple languages by watching you tube videos.
Technology is about how we use it and it comes with its pros and cons, like anything else.
