Screen addicts

Children of all ages can become obsessed with technology, making it difficult to prise them away from tablets and mobile phones.

THE SOLUTION: When they’re at yours, ask for devices to be put on silent and limit use to certain times of the day. Banning them altogether will only make children want them more. Make sure there’s another source of entertainment such as board games or crafts.

Download the app ‘Screentime’ to your own mobile to set time limits and instantly pause their devices
