10 Tips On How To Keep Your Children Away From Television

My mom used to have a tough time when I was a kid. I always ran out to play once I reach home without bothering about the pending homework, if there were any guests at home waiting to see me and was not even bothered to have anything to fill my tummy. Those were the days when playing with your friends were the happiest moment. Today, things are very different. Kids are more inclined to watching television, especially the numerous cartoons including Chhota Bheem and Doraemon, soaps and lots more. Truly speaking, most of the kids at present are not friendly with the nature but with their television and tabs.

Parents (not all) used to provide tabs and switch on television to keep their kids from doing any naughtiness or from running hither and thither. Rather I would say television has become a babysitter! Parents make their kids sit in front of television for hours all the while having food, if mommy was busy in the kitchen etc. So, eventually watching television the whole day rather turned to be a routine or a habit for the kids and as they grew up, they began to look for more activities related to television which interests them. Have a look at 10 tips on how to keep your kids away from television…

Educational Tools

Only 50% of the parents are aware of educational play tools. They are very helpful for kids, to keep them engaged purposefully. Apart from educational magazines and apps, these are educational tools which you can buy online to help your kids to develop mentally as well with a little effort.

You can buy educational tools online. Check out FlintoBox , an online store that provides exciting and interesting educational tool every month which is based on a particular theme. Now if you check their online site, you can see that each month comes with a special theme that interests you child, which help them in playing as well as in earning more knowledge. They develop the power of thinking, their creative ability, patience, develop their imagination, develop their reasoning ability and will improve their skills.

Create An Activity Room

The very word ‘activity’ will create a curiosity in the minds of the kids and they will be eager to know what the room has in store for them. Arrange the room in such a way that it keeps your kids engaged all the time. Fill the room with music, toys, learning tools, coloring books, and all those things that can interest your child and help him/her to have some quality time.

It is good if the parents join them in these activities. They would love the company of their parents. Clay modelling, drawing activities, playing with numbers and alphabets etc are recommended. Fill their room with creative articles. You can buy them online at cheaper rates.

Make Them Enjoy The Nature

Today’s kids are deprived of so many good things that we used to enjoy in our childhood days. They are shut inside the four walls of the house. Parks are their sole medium to know the nature. Everything around them is concrete. Give them time and space to enjoy the nature. Leave them to run around and feel the beauty of nature. They would forget TV once they start enjoying what nature has to give them. Chirping of the birds, cool breeze, butterflies, and kites - all these can be their interest.

Stories, Crafts And Fun Activities

Tell them stories. You can even try creating an own one. Make them imagine it and you can even ask them to recollect the story you had told them earlier. This will improve their memory, creativity and even their imagination.

Help them with ideas in making crafts. There are a lot of magazines that can help you out with ideas for crafts. You can even depend on Google Guru! Encourage them with whatever they do and this will increase their interest as well.

Cooking Is Helpful

Even kids can cook! There are a lot of moms who make their kids accompany them in the kitchen, to help them out. In fact, this is a very good activity. Kids will learn the names and recognizes various veggies, fruits, utensils, learn recipes, how to cut vegetables and even cooking!

A lot of recipes are there which can be easily done by a kid without the help from anyone. Encourage them in using your kitchen once in a while. Forget the mess they create in your kitchen. Let them play with the masalas as well!

Develop A Hobby

Hobbies can be a great activity that can be developed so that your kid will have something to relax on whenever needed. It can be anything but make sure that your kid has an interest in it. Try developing it gradually till your kid needs no guidance or help.

Make Them Learn Something New

Make them learn something new. If they have a passion for music, let them learn singing or let them learn to play any musical instruments of their choice. Swimming, Badminton, Archery all can be considered.

Family Outing

It is good if parents take up the initiative of spending some quality time with the whole family. Plan family outings once in awhile which will build the relationships and makes the bonding stronger. Give your kids the space to talk with you openly.

Outdoor Activity

Make them play with the nature. Let them run around, play with the mud, get wet in the rain and also get tanned in the sun. It will give them more stamina and resistivity.

Set An Example Yourself

Last but not the least; parents should also make sure that they do not urge the kids to watch TV. Switch off the TV while kids are studying. Keep TV away from bedrooms. Fix a time for watching TV and make sure that the whole family watches it together. It gives enjoyment as well as it can restrict your kids mind from getting inclined to watching more of it.
