Pacifying Kids with Gadgets
It is enthralling to see even 2 or 3 years old can use gadgets! They are techier than adults who are older than their age. While research suggests that gadgets will negatively affect the development of a child's brain. But, why really do we need to focus on the negative effects of technologies?
I’m a single mom with 3 kids and my youngest is 3 years old. Parenting is very tough especially for a solo parent like me who is always thinking side hustles so you can give and sustain what they need.
There’s a day when I’m in the middle of beating a deadline and my 3 years old son is throwing tantrums. I’ve talked to him and let him understand that I’m still in the middle of my work but to no avail.
Then my daughter who is 11 years old asked me to give her phone to her brother.
I jumped on the idea right away!
I want to keep my son out of my room so I can finish my work. When I look at him…
voila!
He is entertained with what he is watching. In fact, he is so well behaved that I finish all my daily tasks.
I’m not one of those strict parents. As long as they are happy.
There’s a lot of ways to protect our child with gadgets. There are parenting apps that you can check out there and you can also limit the usage of gadgets. By giving them time when they can use it.
Well, what is my point in telling you those things? My point is we don’t have to focus on the negative effects of gadgets. Anyway, nowadays children need to learn with technology. It is a fast-paced environment and almost everything is operated with technology. Depriving our child will also be detrimental with their personal growth.
How about you? Do you think Pacifying kids with Gadgets is helpful? Why? Why not?
