It is no brainer that not regulating the time with electronics may keep your child quiet. But, too much screen-time is a strict no-no for kids. Too much screen-time can invite dozens of health problems like obesity, may encourage violent behaviour, and to top it all, children may become anti-social too.  Dr Jagdish Kathwate, Consultant, Paediatrics & Neonatology, Motherhood Hospitals, Pune lays down a few vital tricks to help you limit the screen time of your child.

Has your kid become a disconnected zombie? Does your child refuse to eat food, or go to school, just because he/she wants to watch the favourite cartoon? Is your child giving you a tough time due to the constant usage of TV, I-pad or phone? Then, you must immediately take some measures to limit the screen time. This is so because cutting down on the screen time which tends to include TV, videos, DVDs, video games and computers is essential for the growth and development of the child. Moreover, your little one will also be able to stay active, hale and hearty.
