Does your baby loves mobile more than a toy ?

While our babies are busy with their own world of toys , we parents hop into our mobile phones and get busy with it.

How many of us as parents has or are currently following this trend ?

I shamelessly accept this that I am a culprit.

No wonder why my child is amazed when she gets a mobile phone in hand . She reacts with so much of enthusiasm once this device is caught hold by her.

Sometimes she overlooks her colourful exciting toys nearby and run to fetch the mobile phones that’s in our hand .

Ever since I realized this , mobiles are always kept out of reach from her eyes.

Once she was crying out loud while we were watching a movie from IPad and she needed that . She wanted to grab that . We tried to calm her down by placing some entertaining toys infront of her but her eyes were stuck on those moving images on iPad.

Finally we wrapped up our movie time session , closed the iPad and kept underneath the cushion. She cried for sometime but afterwards calmed down and went off to sleep.

I was a little concerned.

Not long before , I met a family who is struggling to upbring their daughter into a normal life as other children.

I met this kid who was just 5 year old. She behaved a little odd . She finds it difficult to interact with people , her own parents .

Why?

Because this little girl was entertained with mobiles , it’s videos and nothing else in the world. She got so engrossed that her behavior pattern got abrupted as she grew.

As other normal 5 year old children, this girl didn’t reply properly to what asked . In return mumbles something by herself .

And this really made me worry as a parent.

My suggestions for avoiding such a worst scenario consequence

• Find time to sit besides your baby and play with them . Meanwhile giving lessons on different colors of the toy or animal names.
• Say no to mobile phones while you are busy playing with your child.
• Interacting with them more often as you interact with your spouse or any elder. Though they won’t understand but would definitely start speaking as soon as they hit the right age.
• Never leave your child unattended with a mobile in hand . Some parents find this as an easier option to calm a wailing baby by giving their mobile phones.

Remember , the proper growth and development of your child is every parents responsibility .
