How to cope with new technology

it's not possible to abandon the use of technology in daily life. every new thing brings pros n cons with it.
Experts say parents are "clueless"
about the harmful effects too much
technology has on their kids.
According to pediatricians, parents
need to take back control of high
tech entertainment.
Many kids spend more time looking
at a screen than they do anything
else, including school and sleep. Easy
access to TV, video games,
smartphones or tablets makes this
not only possible, but also probable.
For children between the ages of 8
and 18 that adds up to an average of
seven hours a day. Even babies are
plugged in, with 40 percent under age
2 having used a smartphone or
tablet.
it's time to reschedule our life n follow some rules:-
- No screen time at all for kids
under 2.
- For older children, two hours a
day, tops.
- No technology in a child's
bedroom.
- When kids watch TV it should be
with parents who can then discuss
the content.
according to Dr. Harvey Karp, "Light actually goes into your eyes
and it turns off melatonin, which is
your brain's normal sleep hormone,"
he explained. "So looking at DVDs
and television right before bed time
actually disturbs a child's sleep and
makes it harder for them to fall
asleep."
