How To Keep Kids Stay Away From Mobile,
The increasing use of gadgets is actually pushing our new generation to the verge of laziness, Yes the kids are getting lazy.

Earlier in the '90s, the mother uses to shout at her kids playing all day long with other kids on the ground, no matter what the season, forgetting about hunger and thirst.

And now the situation opposite, the mother shouting at her kids to leave the mobile and move out of the home on the ground to play.

This is a common complaint from all the parents. The scientists have proven that the more the child play doing the physical activities more will help in brain and physical development.

The reason behind Kid's getting lazy now a day are because of electronic gadget, These powerful gadgets are so beautiful that kids do not want to leave them, and keep on playing mobile games for hrs & hrs, watch cartoons on youtube.

The higher addiction to mobile is making our kids lazy and thus trigger other physical and mental problem like "Headaches", "Lead to poor vision", "Decline in physical activity", "Obesity", "irregular sleep", "slow development of brain".

Below are a few points through which we can save our children.

1) Hobbies - Hobbies help children to engage them in activities they like. Select any activities like swimming, football, cricket, painting, dancing, singing, drawing, reading, etc, which will help them to get busy.

If your child likes reading books, provide them with more books and give rewards every week for completing each book.  Rewards generally motivate small children.

But be careful don't reward them chocolate, ice-cream, but offer them study material or praise.

2) Play game with them - this is the best therapy that will not even take away gadgets from them but will also create a kind of team bonding between you and child. The small child needs care, love, and attention from their parents. once they realize their parents play with them they get more incline towards parents and games.

Winning, losing and rewards in games will change their attitude towards life, this will automatically give birth to a sense of competition in them which will help to improve performance and bring discipline.

I sincerely blame adults for child behavior, because we adults day by day is getting more attracted to the money, losing behind our more lovable thing that is our child.

I have recently engaged my child for cricket coaching, he comes from school at 2.30 pm take lunch, watch TV for half-an-hour and then move out from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM for cricket coaching.

After he comes home from coaching I spend one hour with him practicing cricket and talking with him about other different stuff like his friends, school, what happened today. Plus one hr school homework, and later by 9 / 9.30 PM back to bed after dinner.

Believe me, I have seen a drastic improvement in my child.

3) Spend time - apart from playing a game with them, try to spend more and more time with them. Tell them stories, fairy tales or discuss with them your routine stuff like what happened in the office, road, malls today. create an imaginary story of daily routine and ask your child what he/she would do in such a situation, I am sure you will be surprised by their answers.

Mother can engage kids in small household things like cleanliness, cooking food and father can engage kids in small mechanical works like cleaning cars/bike, small carpenter work, etc.

4) Be a role model for your kids - I had once attended a parent meeting at my child's school. The teacher was asking questions to parents especially mothers like what is your objective/purpose in life and everybody's objective was in or around their child, like "I want to do something for my child", "I want my child to be talented in academic and sports both", "I want to look after my child and family" something like this.

I was wondering, why don't parent says "I want to be a role model for my child"

Kids intimate and replicate actions of their parents so if they see you reading a book they are more likely to ready book. If they see you watching TV, playing mobile they will do the same.

5) Take them out to the garden, seashore - Taking the child to different places help the child to explore & understand new things, traveling is also one of the part kids loves the most. Motivate kids to wake up early at 6:00 am and take them to a walk with you (anyway kids wakeup at 7:00 am for school).

Before posting this blog, I myself have brought a lot of discipline in my life. I had avoided spending my time on mobile and watching unnecessary clips, videos on Facebook, Instagram, etc, avoid updating social media pages.

and we family members sit and talk for hrs, play indoor games like snacks & ladders, carom, & Off-course cricket practice.

I take my child to local shops, give money and ask to shop for small things on my behalf.

So friend if you want to see improvement in child first try to bring discipline in yourself.
