We are living in this Digital Age where further advancement is still at play. The negative effects are imminent to our children, like sleep deprivation, malnutrition, poor academic performance, misguided social life, broken relationships and worrisome mental health.
However, we don't need to be against digitalization because we can always go along with it. Kids who are using screens, social media, internet and online games MUST NOT BE ALONE. I share the concept of our speaker Dr. Michael Rich who is a Mediatrician, that there are no specific limits for screen time in any child's age unless red flags like Autism and ADHD are present. The best thing to do is to play with them while online or on-screens, discuss the things that they are browsing, interact with their social media account and most especially Be Mindful, Be Balanced and Be Present for them.
