Screen Time Effect on Kids: Mummy, first give me the mobile, then I will eat!" This sentence has now become a common story in every other household. Eating is now an experience linked not to taste and hunger, but to the screen of the mobile. Where once the family used to sit together and eat and talk, now everyone's eyes are on a glowing screen. This habit has become so deeply ingrained in children that they flatly refuse to eat without a mobile. But have you ever thought that this habit is affecting not only their hunger, but also their nature and social behavior?

 

 

What problems are the children facing? 

Lack of attention: The habit of constantly focusing on the screen reduces the focus of children. 

Emotional imbalance: According to information, children become irritable and angry due to excessive screen time

Social distance: Due to mobile, children are not interested in talking to the family, due to which they start feeling lonely. 

Effects on human behavior

Mealtime is not only a time for nutrition but also for emotional connection. When a child eats while watching a mobile, he gets away from that connection. Gradually, this habit makes them self-centred, due to which they start getting disconnected from society and family. When there is no conversation, when emotions are not shared, a kind of restlessness starts developing in children, which can turn into anger and loneliness. 

What should parents do? 

Follow the no-screen dining rule: Switch off your mobile phone and TV while eating. 

Do not watch too much TV or mobile yourself: Children learn what they see. Therefore, you have to pay attention to yourself as well. 

Make meals interactive: tell stories, have light conversation. 

Change habits gradually: Do not stop immediately, reduce screen time gradually. 

These small habits of childhood shape the personality of the child in future. Feeding your child with mobile may seem like an easy way, but it is slowly making your child lonely, angry and socially weak. Because even today the responsibility of grooming the changing childhood is of the parents.
