MOBILE ADDICTION is dangerous.
Save your baby’s brain with my 3B formula
The first B is BEHAVIOUR
Do not give your child a mobile phone to prevent bad behaviour or tantrums.
Your child behaves badly or throws tantrums when they have negative emotions.
You can drown your child’s negative emotions with a mobile phone and end the tantrum
But drowning negative emotions with a mobile phone does not help your child in the long run
Your child needs to learn how to manage and overcome negative emotions by themselves
Otherwise, your child will become dependent on the mobile and ultimately get addicted.
Every time your child has a negative emotion – they will need a device.
This can be terrible when they find learning in school difficult.
Instead of managing their negative emotions and studying hard to overcome their negative emotions – they will pick up the mobile phone to feel good.
When they don’t work hard at studying – they will get poor grades – they will have more negative emotions and need the mobile phone even more.
They will be addicted to the mobile.
The second B is for BOOST
Do not give your child the mobile phone to feed them what they don’t want to eat.
Being distracted by the mobile will result in your child’s brain not being comfortable with the taste and texture of food.
Whenever they try to eat without the mobile – their brain will reject the taste and texture and therefore the food itself.
This will mean that they will always need a mobile to eat.
They will be addicted to the mobile.
The 3rd B is BOREDOM
Never give your child the mobile to overcome boredom.
Boredom is stressful.
But this stress is essential for the brain to think creatively.
Creative thinking is the secret to success.
When you relieve your child’s stress due to boredom – your child will not think creatively – will not succeed and will always need the mobile to drown out the negative emotion of not being good enough.
Your child will be addicted to the mobile.
So now that you know how and why children get addicted to the mobile – type 3B and make sure your child never becomes a mobile addict.
Share this now so that those who say “JUST GIVE THE MOBILE - NOTHING WILL HAPPEN” see this reel
