The world is text savvy and screens are everywhere<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it be tablets, smartphones, TV\u2019s, laptops or gaming consoles we are digitally connected and screens are right across our face at every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As parents and Caregivers, we are often struggling to dedicate this balance between the screen time<\/strong> that the digital world has to offer and the entertainment that the real world has<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a struggle to navigate our ways to keep our kids engaged<\/strong> for a longer period of time without using screens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the real question is how to manage it ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the first step towards the screen issue ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what exactly is…. Screen Time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screen time is referred to the amount of time that a person has spent using a device with a screen.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be for any purpose : educational, entertainment or social interaction<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For kids it has to attend virtual classes and in some cases it is provided to always play games or watch cartoons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As parents we believe that these technology advancements<\/strong><\/a>\r\n are there to make a parenting journey easy but it is a myth!<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screen can be a fantastic resource for learning and entertainment<\/strong> but it is important to understand that not having screen time is beneficial for students<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The content being displayed on screen plays a very important role in determining a kid’s development<\/strong>, and we cannot say that it is just beneficial to them, rather it is harmful to a level that can harm them physically mentally and emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
