Hello everyone! When I was planning and dreaming of becoming a mother…

Hello everyone! When I was planning and dreaming of becoming a mother, I always thought that I would never let my children use a phone. But it didn't turn out that way ? My daughter is 1 year and 2 months old, she always asks for the phone and if she doesn't get it, she throws a tantrum. I didn't even realize how quickly she got used to it. Please advise what to do. I understand that it's harmful. And it scares me a lot. It just breaks my heart.

Hello! I understand your concerns, but don't worry, it's perfectly natural. Children adapt to technology very quickly, especially if they see that their parents are interested in it too. It's important to find a balance between using technology and other forms of entertainment and interaction. Try offering your daughter other games or activities that might interest her instead of the phone. You could try reading books, playing with toys together, drawing, or doing various crafts. It's also important to set rules for phone use, such as limiting the time spent on it and using it only for educational games or videos. Don't blame yourself or feel guilty; the key is to find the right balance and ensure that the phone doesn't replace other forms of entertainment and interaction. I'm confident that you'll manage just fine!

The children understand the rules well. It can be said that the phone is allowed at a certain time (for example, after a nap), or it can be limited by time (for example, set a timer, and when the timer goes off, another shorter one can be set, but then the phone should be taken away). Gradually, restrictions can be implemented this way.

Just don't give it to them and don't keep it in sight of the child. They will throw a tantrum for a while and then stop. Invite children to your home and visit others so she can play with kids. Give her pots, spoons, spatulas; they love that. At our place, you can't pull her away from washing dishes. I only give her the phone for a couple of hours to listen to children's songs and dance. If she throws a tantrum, I don't pay attention to it; I just keep doing my own thing, and the child calms down quickly.

Oh, it's a problem for many; my daughter was walking from the bedroom to the living room and bumped into the bathroom door. I explain that she can't use the phone too much, and yet she asks again. Nowadays, 99% of people are addicted to their phones.

She didn't allow it at all, didn't even try to show it. We walked around a lot, they gave us various games, involved us partially in cooking, and used many other ways to distract us.

You need to play with children and spend time with them! That's the only way! It's not easy when everyone around wants to shove a phone into a child's hands (you give it to them so they leave you alone or don't bother you, I've seen such situations more than once! Think about the child and that this time will pass quickly.

Stop giving. The first few days will be difficult, come up with alternative joint activities.
