their minds.
Nowadays children are spending more time on media than on their studies and
physical activities which results in making them idle and weak. It is important
for children to use their time in activities like reading, playing, studying and
using their imagination to say it loud with their ideas and thinking. Where as
it is also the responsibility of parents to look after their kids for using
media and choose the right content for their children and avoid the harmful ones
which may affect their innocent minds like vulgar songs, violence, fights or any
other inappropriate content.
Excessive use of media may lead children to think in the same way as they learn
by media; therefore parents should limit their time for media and keep an eye to
monitor them for what they are watching. In addition with they should offer them
educational media that is only designed for kids and develop their interest
towards reading, playing outdoor, drawing, creativity and other healthy
activities that is good for them.

their children when using media and technology.
