Inculcating habit of reading books among children & to cut Social media time is one of the most critical points in Child Parenting. Trust me, if as a parent you are able to cut down the screen time of your ward, although it is a great difficult job, then you are doing a remarkable job. Earlier when there were no mobiles, only television was there as an entertainment media there was no need for such restrictions, but these days you cannot under estimate this. For school going teenagers reading stories in textbooks is more important than putting stories on Social media. These days completely cutting off Social media is not the correct call to cut down screen time among Children but limiting the use of Social media and regulating it with some restrictions is definitely possible. In order to do this, the parents themselves should become disciplined first. Charity starts from home & it’s the best place to set an example. Getting off such apps that leads to making you stressful or at times crazy needs to be worked upon. Quality screen time is although a boon for school going children as they will have ideas for their career making but all the negative vibration contents which are also available affects the child in unimaginable ways. I personally feel parenting is a difficult task. Child observes the parents & emulates them. Just advising your child without yourself being an example will not serve the purpose.
