The impact of extreme screen time on kids and how to reduce it

Screen time is snatching away precious time from kids. Online classes were the inevitable reason to glue the eyes on the screen. That time has sailed, and fortunately, the world is now offline. Parents! Make sure your kid looks at the world through a non-screen view. Playing like Tom and Jerry on the street with friends, making sand castles on the beach, engaging in household chores, conversations with family, gardening, and spending time with nature-everything that does not include blue light.

ISOLATION

Kids distance themselves from mingling with people as gadgets replace them with games and videos, which seem more interesting and exciting than social interaction. This habit eventually leads to feelings of loneliness and sadness. Hence, socializing should be emphasized for better bonding with friends and family.

DISTRACTION

Electronic gadgets think they have the superpower to control minds with their mesmerizing screens. They do not motivate learning, block homework assignments with their shield of addictive videos, and say no to group play. And it is time to burst the bubble and show them they are not smarter as they think. Gradually decreasing the use of these gadgets will help kids to focus on themselves and their healthy well-being.

STAGNATION

A robotic routine becomes monotonous. Gadgets do not allow kids to form a hobby of their interests. It curbs their interests and passions, which may lead to a lack of productivity and efforts to improve themselves.

AGITATION

Taking away kids' ipads or phones or telling them not to play with them for long may lead to temper tantrums. They feel agitated, which makes them angry and irritable. Their mood swings affect their daily activities.

POOR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH

Exposure to screens for an indefinite time has ill effects on mental and physical health as well. Kids that become over-dependent on phones or ipads affect their overall development. Their sleep cycle is disturbed, and eating habits get altered, which harms their health. It compromises socializing and communication, influencing a negative impact on the mind and body.

Kids start using gadgets because they are bored and there is not much to do. As a Kids’ Room Designing Company, we want to ensure that your little kiddos live their childhood to the fullest by creating a space as unique as theirs to explore and to become the best version of themselves. There are distinctive ways in which the Magical Nest provides itself to keep up with your kid’s energy and passion.

They can pretend-play and party-dance with friends as the room has play gyms, games, and more. They can study in a dedicated space to eliminate distractions and that motivates learning and curiosity. Meaningful wardrobes and storage persuade a sense of organization and discipline. And finally, kids can sleep comfortably in personalized beds for a restful night. Having a theme inside a kid’s room makes the room personal to the kid and gives them a sense of belonging and ownership. It’s a space that they can call their own.
