Lots of kids these days are addicted to technology.
And for good reason:
It’s constant stimulation, at the click of a button.
But is it healthy?
Many psychologists don’t think so. It tends to isolate kids, and make ordinary life seem dull and boring. It also tends to reduce imagination. After all, if you’re constantly exploring exciting, digital worlds full of monsters, adventures and more…
Why would you ever dream up your own adventures?
If your child spends too much time with technology…
It might be time to do something that they’re not going to like very much:
Set boundaries.
You can restrict how many hours they can use technology…
… or just require them to play outside for a certain amount of time each day.
Or I’m sure you can come up with your own creative solution ;-).
They’ll thank you for it in the long run 🙂
Chat with you next time and happy parenting!
