Today

is getting benefits from it. With just one click one can order whatever he
wants and can also learn innovative things. This Technology era has given a
huge evolution to cell phones.
Since
COVID-19, the dependence on the cell phone has been spontaneously multiplied
and not only children but some elders have also become addicted to cell phones.
For children, their classroom education is completely affected due to Corona
and now they are mostly dependent on cell phones.
Using
cell phones have never been an issue but the corona pandemic has made many
children addicted to cell phones and now there in and outside life goes on
social media or phones.
They
have forgotten to play outdoor games which is making them lethargic and addiction
of phone is making them peevish, anxious, stressed, and also harming their
eyesight.
Some sign of addictions-
According
to a report of 2016 Common Sense Media, 50 percent of teenagers “feel addicted”
to mobile devices. So, as a parent, you can follow these steps to stop their
addiction.
1. Try to monitor their cell phone activities - You should know what your child is doing on a cell
phone or other gadgets. Is he using it for the right purpose or not? Is he
using it for learning or wasting time on social media? This monitoring should
be done otherwise this addiction can make a child anxious and sometimes it can
make him the victim of cybercrime too.
So,
give them a family computer to use it or keep such app in mobile which can
restrict all worthless or non-useful website, can also let you know what he is
using throughout the day. You can also fix a limit of data use which won't let
them access the Internet after the limit. It will help you to not let your
child become addicted to cell phones
2. Should be given for stipulated time - Cell phone helps children to complete their
school assignments, homework and also teaches in the simplest ways. With this,
it also provides games, social media platforms, and many other time-consuming
and worthless things.
That's
why a fixed particular time should be allotted to a child for using the cell
phone to complete his assignment, works, and playing games too. Because
complete restriction will make him isolated.
3. Ask them to play outdoor games - Outdoor games are beneficial both physically and mentally too.
Because playing outdoor games increase concentration power and also gives
proper exercise to the body. Playing outdoor will help them to make new friends
and will make them stress and anxiety-free.
As a
parent, you can keep your cell phone aside for some hours daily and ask them to
use this time for their hobbies. It will keep them entertained and will
generate interest in their hobbies.
4. Switch mobile into a learning device- Most children consider cell phones as a source of entertainment and
want to spend their maximum time on them. They make new friends via social
media, watch short videos, keep texting their friends and even some children
use mobile till late at night too.
That's
why it must be converted into a learning device that can groom their skills,
teach them to innovate things like technology, space, agriculture and you can
also put challenges related to their favourite topic in front of them to
complete.
5. Bring changes in their schedules – Make some changes to their schedule that it does not provide much
time on screen. Involve them in such innovative works as watering plants,
making sketches, etc. So, they don't remember their mobile.
And
you can also keep the cell phone at such places where they can't find it or can
keep a strong password that they cannot access without your knowledge. And also
ask them to always join lunch and dinner with whole family members which will
teach them the importance of family.
