Nowadays, everyone starts their morning by looking at their mobile phone and also spends their night scrolling through reels on their mobile. If the phone goes away from the eyes even for a minute, people start getting tensed and they start searching for it impatiently. This addiction of watching mobile is not limited only to adults, but is also continuously increasing among children. At an early age, children love watching videos and scrolling through kids reels on their phones. This addiction of watching mobile phones has increased so much among children that they do not even eat food without looking at the screen. To overcome this growing digital addiction among children, a wise woman set 7 special rules for her 9 year old son. With the help of these rules, he completely eliminated the child's addiction of looking at the phone. Let us know what are those 7 easy rules and how you can implement them in your home.

Complete ban on screen time in the evening

Many children like to look at mobile phones even before going to school and as soon as they return from there, they insist on using the phone again. In such a situation, you can set a rule to completely stop screen time in the evening. You can adjust this timing a little according to your child's daily routine. In the evening, when the child is not using the phone, he will spend his time playing outdoor games, completing his homework or doing other activities of his choice.

'No phone' policy at the dining table

Make a strict rule in your house that neither children will look at the phone while eating nor any elder member of the house will use the phone. The woman told that as soon as she implemented this rule, within just a week the entire family started sitting and talking to each other during dinner.

Reward screen time for completing tasks

The woman gave some small tasks and challenges to the child, on completion of which he was given screen time as a reward. For example, if a child read a book for 30 minutes, he got 30 minutes of screen time, while if he went out and played for an hour, he was allowed to use the phone for one hour.

No phone immediately after waking up

After waking up in the morning, at least one hour of time is very important for the child's mind and thoughts to develop naturally. After adopting this rule, the child started reading books, drawing, playing outside and interacting with people at home in the first hour of waking up in the morning.

keep the phone under your control

Instead of keeping the phone in the child's bedroom, the woman always kept it at a place which was under her direct supervision. He believes that at the age of 9, children's brain is not mature enough to decide for themselves when they should not use the phone. That's why she always kept the mobile with her or in another room.

Stop scrolling in front of your child

If you want your child to stop using mobile or stop looking at the phone, then first of all stop unnecessary scrolling on the phone in front of him. Children learn more by watching and imitating elders than by listening to them.

Stick to your guns and don't give too much explanation

In the beginning, children may not like these strict rules at all and may cry or complain about it. But you don't need to explain the rules to them on everything or give much explanation as to 'why you are doing this'. Just stay calm and stick to your words.
