Technology vs. Childhood: How to Nurture Healthy Habits

See, things are changing very fast around us. Earlier, there were no smart devices around us and children used to play outside. They used to play some kind of outdoor games but nowadays, most of the young generation, whether in villages or in anywhere, are glued to their smartphones. Wherever you go, you will see every person watching TV or doing something on his smartphone. There are very few people who are away from all these things and are safe in a way. Adults are getting used to it but think how dangerous things are going to be for the children coming up. Children learn to operate smartphones from a very young age. They know how to use YouTube and they know where they can find the things of their choice. See, small children are very intelligent and they catch things very quickly. That is why whatever we give them, whatever you do in front of them, they grasp it very quickly.

I am telling you here that the environment also has a great impact. If you create such an environment in your house that any kind of electronic gadget is used very little and you focus more on other things, then a small child will automatically start adapting to that company. See, Whether young or old, everyone is not away from smartphones and some or the other work of all of us is done through smartphones, no matter what it is. You can do all the computer work on a smartphone. I have seen many YouTubers who have been doing all the work through their smartphones for a long time and they also know how to use it very well. See, as time passes, it has become more and more difficult to handle children because if you pamper them too much, they get on their nerves or become very tantrum-loving. If they bite their teeth, then there is danger in such a situation also because children have become very sensitive nowadays and there is no such thing as patience in them. They are ready to do anything and many times they even threaten.

See, in such a situation, it is very important to maintain a balance. You should decide which one is right for your child and which one is not. We can guide our children till a certain age, but when they become wise after that and develop the ability to think and dream, then they can be guided. Children are our responsibility and we should take care of them. We should not be careless towards them. If we are careless with our children in their childhood, then all these things will trouble us a lot when they grow up. See, it is said that if we want to build a good and strong house, then its foundation should be very strong. If you want to give your children a good future, then I would suggest that you encourage them for such things in which they are interested, but sometimes the child starts doing a lot, but see, if you keep them busy with something else, then suddenly they forget that thing. We also have a small girl in our house and she also often troubles us a lot most of the time we also give her a smartphone sometimes and she remains very happy. See the kids are very smart they know that if we develop we will get what we want.

But it is our responsibility also to provide them such a childhood and an environment where they get to learn something or the other. Instead of giving a smartphone, if we start playing with the child then he/she will probably forget many things and he/she will respect us for playing next time. See, it does take some time to form a habit but it does form. I would not say that all children are like this and do not do anything without a smartphone, though there are some good ones too who are not habituated to all these things at all and this is a very good thing. See, you also should not show that you are torturing the child too much or you will go to such an extent to discipline him that he gets very upset and takes some wrong steps.

Look, everything has a limit and we should understand it and work accordingly. Look, if you cannot handle some things on your own, then you can take advice from teachers or professionals because they will give you a different opinion, while the kind of mindset you have, you can think like this. Until you meet other parents, talk to them, listen to them, you will not know what they do to take care of their children or what they do to control them.
