Because it is too bright, too bright, playing with multi-colors,” he said in the webinar ‘The Urgency of Screen Time Regulations for Balanced Child Development’, recently This.
2. Reducing the interaction between parents and children
When children get too much screen time, it is a sign that the time between Mother and Little One will decrease. They will experience little interaction with Mother and Father.
When you decide to read story books via e-book, make sure you always accompany your child, OK? Don’t leave children alone with gadgets.
