“My hobby is watching my smartphone”.

Last Saturday, Suen have some outdoor activities at school and during their school activities, the teacher are asking them to do some exercise.

One of them is asking them to answer and do some reflection.

Some of the questions:

1) What are your hobbies?

2) Who is your friend?

3) What do you like about him/her?

So, Suen wrote her favorite hobbies, reading, playing slime, and painting.

The teacher continue to talk and picked some students to look at their answers.

Well, Suen wasn’t picked up by the teacher.

So before ending the session, the teacher concluded.

“Most of your hobbies are watching your smartphone or tablet!”.

So, what are your children’s hobbies?

If watching the screen/Internet are their hobbies, how do you feel as a parent?

What is your children’s future looked like? What will they miss out on?

What is your most feared scenario if you don’t fix this?

When COVID came in March 2020 and my country was on lockdown, I knew I need to do something. If I don’t do something, soon or later my children will be glued to the screen.

That’s why I decided to share my Digital Parenting framework with parents who wanted to reduce their child’s excessive screen time or even stop their child’s Internet/Screen addiction.

My question to you is: Are you committed to doing this?
