In today’s digital age, mobile phones have become an essential part of children’s lives. However, what is worrying is that very young children, who are still building the foundation of their studies, spend hours immersed in mobile games, videos and reels. This has a direct impact on their studies, behavior and mental development. In such a situation, the role of parents and teachers becomes very important.
In today’s world, it is very important for children to use mobile phones responsibly. Parents should set a fixed time for their children to use mobile phones. They should keep phones away while studying and limit screen time during the day so that children can concentrate on their studies.
To engage children in learning, it is important to make learning fun. Colorful books, charts, stories, and playful learning increase children’s interest, and they naturally start spending less time on their phones. If parents themselves are constantly on their phones, children will also copy the same behavior. Therefore, it is important for parents to set a good example. Fix some time at home when no one uses their mobile phone and the family spends time together.
Constantly scolding children can reduce their interest and self-confidence. Instead, praising and encouraging their small efforts will motivate them to focus more on their studies. To reduce screen time, it is important to give children other activities. Outdoor games, drawing, painting, dance or music keep children engaged and divert their attention from mobile phones towards creative works.
To improve the academic performance of children, close coordination between teachers and parents is very important. Regular conversations, tracking the child’s progress and proper guidance will help children gradually overcome mobile phone addiction and concentrate on their studies.
