Today we will tell you some such tips which can help in keeping the child away from the mobile phone.
Motivate for outdoor games
The best way to keep children away from mobile is to involve them in outdoor games or activities. You can also motivate them to play outside, cycle, garden, etc.
Do not give mobile phones at an early age. It would be better if you avoid giving mobiles to children at an early age. Use only TV for screen time.
Keep WiFi off
When you're done, turn off the Internet or WiFi. By doing this, children will not be in the internet zone all the time and will not be able to use mobile.
Quality Family Time
Try to have a good atmosphere at home and spend quality family time with each other. You joke with each other, do bullying together, do funny face competition etc. or plan home decorations etc. Involve the kids a lot in this.
Screen time limit
Keep 2 to 3 hours of screen time in 24 hours for young children and maximum 4 to 5 hours for teenage children in which they can do their studies and learning. By doing this, they will be able to use the Internet in a better way and it will not affect their health.
Use mobile passwords
Keep changing the password of your phone at home and do not make it a habit for children to use the phone without your permission.
Keep busy working outside the home
It is necessary for the children to learn to work outside the home. If your child starts seeing more mobile then you ask him to help you with love. You should encourage children to clean the house, decorate, prepare breakfast, help someone etc. The more busy the children are, the less they will use the mobile.
In the last almost two years, children have been imprisoned in homes due to Corona. It is clear that the habit of playing field games has reduced in them. In such a situation, it is necessary to motivate them to go outside the house and play in the field again. If possible, indulge in some outdoor games with them yourself.
Try to connect children with nature and environment. Make them aware about the importance of forest, animals and water. Take them to such places where they can see and feel the natural beauty. For this it is not necessary to go to any expensive hill station or tourist spot. Children can also be taken to a park or pond near the house.
Spark an interest in books
In this age of internet, the distance from the books of the people is increasing. In such a situation, it is necessary that we make a habit of reading good books ourselves and motivate the children to do the same. Provide good and interesting books to children according to their interest. Also discuss with them about books. This will make them interested in books.
Get help with simple household chores
Take help of children in simple household chores like drying clothes, pressing them, cleaning your room, filling water, watering plants etc. Ask them to help with the kitchen work as per their interest. With this, children will not only stay away from mobile, but will also learn many things in sports and games.
