Excessive screen time is becoming a major health concern in children.
Too much mobile usage may lead to:
- Speech delay
- Poor sleep
- Irritability
- Reduced concentration
- Obesity
- Eye strain
Recommended screen limits:
- Below 2 years: Avoid screen time as much as possible
- 2–5 years: Less than 1 hour/day
- School-going children: Controlled and supervised usage
Parents should encourage:
- Outdoor play
- Reading habits
- Family interaction
- Physical activity
Children learn more from real-world interaction than from screens.
Balanced digital habits help improve mental and physical health.
