You may often hear in some cases that kids are addicted to playing games on their gadgets. This condition is the same in all countries today. Since gadgets are affordable, some parents buy new smart phones with advanced features.

Smart phones offer a lot of entertainment, from games to videos that can be accessed by your kids. Those entertainments make little children addicted to them. Finally, children will spend more time playing with their gadgets than studying or doing physical activities.
In a long period of time, the addiction will cause problems for the child's habits and health. Seeing these problems, my question is whether it is wise to prohibit your children from playing with smartphones or gadgets.

In my opinion, it is impossible to ban your children from playing with smart phones. How can you prohibit your children from playing with smartphones while you show your children how you spend hours with your smartphones? You may not realize that what you are doing with your smartphones will be the reason for your children doing the same activities as you.

There is a wise trick to face the situation. You let your children play with smartphones with some agreements. If I say rules, your children may react contradictorily to the rules. In this case, you should make an agreement with your children.

Here are some lists that you should pay attention to when your children are playing with their gadgets.

DosDon'ts
Time and ScheduleLimit the time to playLet your children play for hours
Play after finishing school worksPlay every time your children want
ControllingControl the games or apps that suitable for kids'ageDo not care to what children play and see in their gadgets
Spare time for your children to do physical activitiesLet your children play from a gadget to another one, like after playing with smartphones, your children change to turn on the TV

Gadgets are something that we can not avoid. They also have some benefits for your children to help them with their school lessons. Banning your children from playing with their gadgets is not a good decision. As a parent, you have the right and obligation to provide facilities for playing and learning.

Smartphones can be a tool for learning and playing. However, if you do not control your children from playing smartphones excessively, it will have bad effects. You can find many cases of bad consequences from children playing excessively on smartphones. Therefore, you must be wise when allowing children to play and prohibit them. Thank you for reading my post. Hopefully, it will be useful.
