How do I manage my child’s screentime?

This is one of the most common questions I get from parents.

And the answer is “You need a plan.”

A plan for your time and your child’s time

Because –

“IF YOU DON’T PLAN YOUR TIME SOMEONE ELSE WILL PLAN IT FOR YOU”

And that someone else in today’s world are devices

Devices are used to CONNECT CONSUME and CREATE

The time spent CONSUMING media should be balanced by the amount of spent CREATING something out of what has been consumed.

How do you ensure this?

How do you ensure that screentime BUILDS YOUR CHILD’S BRAIN instead of destroying it?

The answer is –
1. Follow the IAP and AAP age wise guidelines

2. CREATE A FAMILY SCREENTIME PLAN.

Do you need help doing that?

Remember for children below 5 years the plan is for you more than your child because your behavior determines your child’s behavior
