Make a time table for children: Give children a fixed time to use the mobile. Like only after studies or for 1 hour a day. This will make the children use the mobile within a limit.

 

2 /7

Make children habituated to outdoor games: Instead of mobile, encourage children to play outdoor games like cricket, football or cycling. This will divert their attention from the phone and also improve their physical fitness.

 

3 /7

Use mobile as a reward: If the child does his homework or any work well, then only let him use the mobile. This way, mobile will become a reward for him and not an addiction.

 

4 /7

Give priority to family time: Spend some time playing with children, talking or doing some activity every day. When children are engaged at home, they will feel less need for mobile.

 

5 /7

Explain the disadvantages of screen time: Tell children in simple language that excessive use of mobile weakens the eyes, disturbs sleep and affects the brain. When they themselves understand the reason, they will reduce the use of mobile.

 

6 /7

Be a role model yourself: If parents are busy with their mobile phones all the time, then children will also learn the same. So, reduce the use of mobile phones in front of children and set them the right example.

 

7 /7

Keep mobile phones away from the bedroom: Do not give mobile phones to children before they go to sleep. Avoid keeping TV and mobile phones in the bedroom so that their sleep and routine both remain correct.
