I have something to say!

 RT: Use evidence to back up your thinking opinions

Dear parents/caregivers!

As we know children these days play on their devices/electronics , and yes they may spend all day on playing games or watching videos and they barely get the time to interact with other things that doesn't include their devices. So I think it's time to make a change!

Starting off with decreasing the amount of time kids use their electronics and according to a website , kids spend an average amount of time around seven hours of looking at a screen without interacting with any family members or socialising with other things/people. But to be honest in my opinion age matters on how much screen time kids get , so I highly recommend kids between the age two and five should get at least an hour or less , per day and the reason why I recommend this for such a young age is because some kids can develop a small or even big addiction over electronics as they are growing up and they might not think of having a though or a opportunity to get off their device and interact with the world. As we continue on with the same subject we will now move onto how much screen time a teenager and a child gets , I also highly recommend that kids and teenagers should get the same amount of two to three hours on their devices considering that they might have homework to do , but if not they could spend some time with the family or playing outside and exercising and others! Now here are some methods that you can try to keep your children or child entertained!

1. Taking a walk!

Going on a walk is another any of exercising and it's also healthy for you! It also gives you the opportunity to connect with your child away from the noise inside of your home! If you do this more often your child will start to be more interactive with other things in the house as well as other things in the world!

2. Exploring new places!

There is always something new to explore something new to learn. Taking the time to explore with your child or children would definitely open your child's and your eyes to a new way of viewing in the world as well as having fun exploring the new places that you might have not discovered before!

3. Playing board games!

Found something gun? Hmm... Maybe a board game or maybe cards! Play maybe a game or two with the family and probably games that everyone will agree to play , or you and your family could go one by one playing each others games and if you couldn't finish one game that one family member wanted to play then you could have another night playing it! But if the family is busy throughout the week you could make a day when you and your family spend some quality time together! For an example Friday or Saturday! Here are my some games you and your family could play , I recommend these games fun and if you have any other games feel free to play them!

• Salut 
• Last Card
• Match the cards
• Snap
• Go fish

4. Cooking!

Cooking might be a tough one for some parents and children , but I personally think starting off with something basic could help those who just started! You could probably search some videos up on google or safari or whatever browse you use or search some videos of tutorials and recipes on youtube! Not only does this give you the opportunity for you and your child/children to learn new skills but this also helps you bond and in the end you get a tasty treat!
