Patient's Query
How can I make my son reduce screen time
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
To cut your son’s screen time, you start with setting clear rules on its use. Specify the hours you allow your child to watch TV or play computer games, and give preference to such choices as spending time in the open air or reading. Warning signs of screen dependence may be giving attention difficulties in class, sleep disturbances at night, and irascibility. Try to clarify these worries by being frank and direct. Ask him to recommend some creative activities that he might enjoy doing offline. Should these be some issues that are still persisting in spite of your kinds of efforts, you can deal with this situation with the help of a doctor who can give you advice personalized for your kid. This expert could work out a plan for his general wellness while dealing with his screen habits in a moderate manner.
