Screen time for my 7 year old girl has definitely increased. Being a working parent and with no house help, it gets difficult to devote time with her during lockdown. She is losing interest in her studies and more so is losing appetite to play outdoor games. But she is happy watching TV. Please suggest

Hello doctor! My daughter is 3 yrs old and she spends hrs and hrs on mobile phone everyday bcoz we're a nuclear family she doesn't gets anybody to talk to when I'm busy doing household chores. And her attention span is not that large to keep her sitting for half an hour in a stretch and engage her in painting or things like that. What can we do? And how it may be affecting her..? Although she is happy and healthy these days but I'm worried about her screentime. Pls guide us. Thanks in advance mam!

Hello doc my child has got thos bad habit of watching mobile while eating. As he use to cry a lot when he was little, so we use to give him mobile only till food time. But now he is three and breaking this habit has become difficult because he throws tantrums and feels its his right to see mobile while having food. Plus we have a speech delay issue with him, he speaks very little words like nani, mumma papa. His other words lile truck he says tuck for car only ca. What can be done

Very important point Nidhi ma'm. Ensuring that the child has a blackout time for screens before sleep, while eating, at playtime etc. I have been using a Qubit phone for my child which has built-in controls. It locks the phone at bedtime and I can put limits for games, social media etc. How parents can also stay updated with technology so that they can find better solutions as well.
