Do you give children phones to stop them from crying? It could make them crankier

-

 parents to avoid using technology to stop their children from crying. Parents often give phones or other devices to toddlers during mealtimes, or to keep them occupied.


It's common for parents to use technology to manage challenging moments with toddlers, like during mealtimes or when they're upset. However, there are several reasons why you might want to reconsider this approach:

  1. Emotional Development: Relying on devices can limit a child's ability to develop emotional regulation and coping skills. Learning to handle frustration and boredom is an important part of growing up.

  2. Attention Span: Regular use of screens can impact a child's attention span and ability to focus on other activities. Encouraging them to engage in different types of play can support better cognitive development.

  3. Social Interaction: Devices can reduce opportunities for face-to-face interactions, which are crucial for developing social skills and emotional bonds. Engaging with your child directly helps build a stronger connection.

  4. Healthy Habits: Early and frequent exposure to screens can set a precedent for technology use later on. Encouraging other activities from a young age can help instill healthy habits around technology use.

Here are some alternatives to consider:

  • Distraction Techniques: Use engaging, non-digital activities like puzzles, books, or simple toys to redirect their attention.

  • Interactive Mealtimes: Turn mealtimes into an opportunity for conversation and bonding. Use this time to talk about the day or play simple games.

  • Routine and Structure: Establish routines that help your child understand what to expect and when, which can reduce anxiety and tantrums.

  • Emotional Support: Acknowledge your child’s feelings and provide comfort in a way that helps them learn to self-soothe and communicate their needs.
