Mom of a 6 yr 8 m old girl4 years ago
Q.

My 2 yr is addicted to phone. How do I control it. I switch of data and wifi on the phone and she sees the downloads. When the data is on she is continuously on YouTube. I always feared this and never gave the phone. Before 4 months my husband started giving her the phone to deviate her but that has caused a damage and he is thinking about it now. Earlier when I used to tell not to give the phone, he just used to say for a while nothing will happen but she is addicted is what I feel. If I remove the phone, she shouts loudly and cries if I don't give it. please advice

A. Hello ma’am Well I must tell you if you give more of a screen time to your child it can already damage a lot of things from the childhood itself like delayed brain growth delayed speech growth so all these things are very common with kids at a younger Age. So I would just advise you to not give phone to your child even if your child is crying throwing tantrums everything is fine just be a little form that you are not going to give it this thing is going to continue for some time but you have to be very adamant and you cannot give phone to the child instead if your child is interested in watching then give a little bit of screen time on television but not mobile phone
