True Love

Things to consider when trying to wean children off TV or technology:

-

Children are people, not objects. So, don’t impose new changes on them. Have a conversati­on and negotiate where necessary.

Be involved. Make time to play with your children outside of the magical screen world. If you’re not available, hire someone or call on a friend to take on this role.

Introduce and buy your child toys. Especially puzzles and dolls as these will encourage imaginatio­n and creativity, taking them away from the passive isolated play that comes with gadgets.
