Description :
Kids spend hours on their mobile phones, electronic games, and computer screens. But how much is too much? And how can you set limits without hurting your relationship on one hand, or exposing them to danger on the other?
Children spend an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day on digital media, plugged in and glued to screens, according to recent studies. That’s 5.5 hours over the recommended limit, often leading to poor school performance, behavioral problems, neck pain, and much more. With Dr. Gregory Jantz’s Ten Tips for Parenting the Smartphone Generation, learn to avoid the negative consequences and enjoy watching your child gain the most out of technology.
Smartphones. Computers. Tablets. One of the biggest challenges for parents is balancing the advantages of cutting-edge technology and endless information with the dangers of unlimited exposure.
