Often, children learn to use smartphones excessively by watching their parents and thinking it’s acceptable, which can lead to "screen addiction". If you check emails during dinner or glance at your smartphone when you’re supposed to be talking with family, your child learns to do the same. To prevent this, set boundaries for yourself as well and decide not to use your smartphone when your child is speaking with you or when you’re at their sports games, for example, so they can learn there are more important things than a mobile phone.
Smartphones make life easier and help our children maintain and strengthen social connections so they can develop properly. However, as parents, it’s important to make it clear to them that there’s also a world beyond the small screen in their hands, so their use of these devices doesn’t spiral out of control and negatively affect them.
