Gadgets and kids

My Daughter is always attracted to colourful light which pops up from mobile.. her eyes twinkles when someone calls on phone. She is more alert when she hears 'hello'. I have seen this qualities in most of the kids. In many houses I saw kids busy with their parents gadget in some corner of the room.. they are very quite. Most of the parents don't worry about this much as it is relief for them and they are not disturbed at their work.

Someday my daughter saw some rhyme on device she was so much alert and quite. I made use of it for cooking food for her otherwise she would be holding my cloths and crying for food not letting me move. I started with some devotional videos. Few times I used this tricks as I can cook peacefully.

Later I realized how big mistake I am doing by paralyzing her physiological growth, stopping her communication , her beautiful expressions instead of looking into my impatience.

It had become habit for her, she would stand in front of tab and cry for it. So we decided to limit the use of gadgets in front of her. Also trying to fight with my impatience by bearing her whatever she does, and trying to understand her better.

Kids are newly opening up their eyes in this world. Whatever life style we live in, they adopt to it easily. If we make gadgets are prominent part of life, they too make it or even more than us. It is true that they learn from outside world too, it is not in our hand, but giving a better environment at home is definitely in our hand.

Constantly involved in gadgets paralyze mind and it becomes an addiction even for adults. Deep down we become so empty inside and constantly seek entertainment outside. It makes us forget our sorrows, loneliness but it is temporary and dangerous way to get rid of our sorrows, like alcohol.

Kids are super active and quick absorbents we must encourage them in learning new things and  becoming creative at each work they do.
