In the digital age as it is today, the use of gadgets is no longer possible to avoid. But as a parent there will probably be a feeling of worry that the child is addicted to gadgets. On the other hand, parents must also be worried that the child could be exposed to information that may not be appropriate for his age.

All concerns are natural for parents to feel. Especially with the rise of cyberbullying cases, cases of child abuse on social media, or other criminal cases where children are victims.

Keep in mind all the adverse effects of gagdet on children will not occur as long as we do these 4 things. Let's check out more explanations.

1. Determine the Time of Use of Gadgets

Before giving a cell phone to children, we should first determine the time of use of gadgets. For example, when the child has completed his tasks, children may play gadgets.

Also set the maximum duration of gadget use. As quoted from hellosehat, for children aged 2 years and above, every day should only use gadgets for 2 hours only.

Parents should also set screen time limits, where at that time the child does not interact with the gadget at all whether it is a smartphone, tv, or video game. It aims to maintain the health of the child's eyes.

2. Don't Get Used to Gadgets Being a Child's Sedative 'Drug'

When a child has a tantrum, or just grieves, there may be parents who are confused how to deal with it and comfort him. Some parents may prefer to give gadgets as a child's sedative 'drug'.

It should be understood, this is not good for emotional development and also the development of children's language. Parents should teach children to recognize and how to overcome these emotions.

3. Monitor Gadget Use in Children

When children interact with their gadgets, you should not be separated from the supervision of parents. For example, by not placing a TV in the child's room but in the family room only. Therefore, when children want to watch TV or play video games, parents can still monitor the activity easily.

Same with smartphones. Do not allow your child to access the object itself in his or her personal space. Always check the browser history your child accesses. Also keep an eye on how the child interacts on social media, if he already has his own account.

4. Keep Direct Communication With Children

Parents should also be aware to maintain direct communication with children. Don't get busy with your gadgets.

Keep giving advice, direction, or just a joke to the child. This is very important so that the emotional closeness between children and parents is maintained.

How? After knowing some of the easy tips above, are there still concerns when children access their gadgets? Hopefully not anymore. The most important thing is that parents do not necessarily let children use their gadgets freely.
