On Kids and Smart Phones
Ever since smart phones were introduced, I got totally hooked along with the apps that go with it. Since both Hubby and I got smart phones, we can’t help but let the kids play every now and then. You see, there are tons of apps that are nice for the kids. And ever since we started to let them play, they are totally hooked too.
So now, I have to lay down rules for them because there are times that they request to play almost the entire day which is not good. You see, I want them to focus more on books and other creative plays than the games from the smart phones.
First, I make sure that before they get to play with my smart phone, all homework should be done. They have to study first and review their lessons before they can play their favorite games.
Second, they are only allowed to play for an hour or less.
Third, since I have 2 kids with only one smart phone, they have to learn to SHARE and take turns.
These rules look so simple but for a 5 year old and a 3 year old, it is hard especially if they are hooked with the games. There are times that I regret letting them try even one game. But when I see their happy faces while playing, I realized that they too deserve it. The nice thing about the apps that I installed for them is that it is also a way to learn letters, numbers, nursery rhymes and more. So they are not only playing but also learning too!
