Why do developing brain require extra attention?
Young brains continue to develop well into their twenties. Their early experiences shape their development. Young minds are easily influenced. This adaptability permits them to learn while also leaving them susceptible. Experiences, good or unpleasant, are imprinted on developing brain.

Learning can be aided through educational applications and games. Digital access can expose children to new ideas and facts. Social media allows children to interact with others. Young minds are captivated by technology.
Negative effects of technology include:
Excessive screen usage can impair concentration and attention. Anger and animosity may be heightened by aggressive content. Social networking can have a negative impact on self-esteem. Unmonitored technology crowds out healthful activity. It rewires growing brains.
Tips to reduce the impact of technology on developing brain:
Set an example
Before asking your child to reduce their screen time, first you should reduce yours. Keep track of your screen time. Apart from work or online meetings avoid scrolling your social media now and then. What you do your kids will follow, so set a good example. Instead for using smartphones and laptops in your free time, read some books and make your children realize that books are equally entertaining.
Step by step
First check the total screen time of your child in a day. Then start to cut that time, day by day like half an hour every second day, as it is impossible to ask children to completely cut down all the electronic devices at a time, but if they reduce gradually soon they will use only for their recommended time.

Set a schedule
Your success depends upon your plans. Always plan the screen time with the concern of your kids and set the schedule. Like allowing screen time only after doing their homework or other studies and works. Make screen time a privilege rather than a right.
Stick to the rules
Whatever rules you have made, just stick to the rules. Always remember that you are the boss and you make the rules. There can be some conflicts initially but make them understand the importance of limiting screen time.

Screen free bedroom
Make your bedroom screen free. Using electronic devices just before sleep affects your sleep cycle, making it hard for you to fall asleep at night. And if kids do not have proper sleep at night they will wake up tired and don’t have energy to do activities during the day. Rather place the TV, computer, laptop and phones in some central location, and ask your child to use any device in that location only, so that you can better monitor the screen time of kids.
Encourage other activities
Encourage kids for other activities like reading, craft work, indoor games and doing puzzles. You can also engage them in some household works like helping you in gardening, cooking and cleaning, this will also strengthen your bond with your kids.
