What should I do if my baby likes to play with electronic devices1

  Accompany children and divert their attention

  Children's obsession with electronic products is caused by a dull and rigid lifestyle. Therefore, parents should use the method of shifting attention to terminate their children's insistence on electronic products. Encourage children to engage in more activities, and when they feel that there are more interesting activities than electronic devices, they will gradually break free from their dependence on them. Games, outdoor activities, toys, etc. are all good ways to divert children's attention and cultivate their interests.

  Adults should pay attention to their behavior

  Children playing with electronic products is often a supplement, and sometimes electronic products are also like toys. When a toy is not in front of them, children may not remember playing with it and may be attracted to other toys. Therefore, in order to reduce the time children spend playing with electronic devices, parents also need to control their own limits.

  Set "rules" with your child before playing

  There is a limit to everything, and excess leads to waste. When letting children play with electronic products, first agree with them on the rules, such as what they can play with their phones, how long they can play, and so on. This is not only beneficial for children to have choices when playing, but also for cultivating their self-control ability.

  Pay attention to the content of electronic products

  Don't let your child play some energy consuming and irrelevant mobile games. Parents can accompany their child to play some early education apps, while explaining certain knowledge to help them understand.
