Assalamualaikum Sahabat..
This entry is probably for mommies..daddies..nannies and everyone who concern about kids nowdays@what they called Gen-Z (am i rigjt)?🤔
Have we heard that gadgets can put the kids into dangerous situation? either physically@mentally..?
Let me share mine..my sons also nearly jump into that bad situation. Yes i admit that the lack of parent's attention contribute to it. Since i have been struggled studying (PJJ), my sons always with their grandparents. And absolutely the best way for the grandparents to tackle theirs was by introduce handphone..tabs..Youtube..and so on. It became the easiest way..i guess. When i had completed my study, it was so hard for my husband and i to redo our son's attraction. Ya Allah.. Very Very Challenging. we realy need to be tough handling out 2 gadget-addicted sons. Their Nenek & Atok always behind and backup them. Urgh..that was the real part. 'diorang budak2 lagi..'
'suka-suka je tu..'
It was so-not-me to keep explaining this and there..the reasons..my PATIENCE have been challenged.
But alhamdulillah within weeks our sons recovered..
Here i list down the tips for my Gadget-Addicted-Sons. maybe they still in the early stage to redo the habit in short period. But at least we can try..
1. we put a gap between each visit to our parents house. because each time we reached to their home, my sons will run to their Nenek & Atok and asked for the Handset@Tab. and each of the time their Nenek & Atok will melt down.hehe..
2. we put the picture of ghost as our home and lockscreen wallpaper. everytime they tried to reach it, they will run away. i think this can be tricked early age children since they are still affraid of the picture of ghost..hehe. after a while, they themselves have forgot the gadget. Yeay..
3. we have set our dp whatsapp picture with the scary picture. Soon as they got their Nenek & Atok's handset, we would make a whatsapp call to the number. So there would appeared the scary picture on the screen. Usually they would put down the handset and ran for us while screamed 'hantu call!!!' Another yeay.. Credit to my lovely sister for the brilliant idea @public-enemy96.blogspot.com Love you sis.
4. we bought them variety of Lego&Puzzles. let them play together with us. Show them the multidesign it can be. Its fun guys! For the introduction they might look uninterested but don't give them any other options that out of the lane.
we always ask them for the specific option like 'you wanna play this lego or that puzzle?'
repeat the same question until they choose 1 of them. you should try guys..
5. Let them draw. this will divert their mind from the gadgets. my 1st son really love to draw & colour. hence, he is easily attracted to this way and automatically influence his brother to do so. we can try with something that they love to do..
6. Lastly, when my sons are fully recovered..slowly we explained why we do this and that. we emphasize that there is no big deal with that scary picture. Allah is everything. picture is still a picture. Alhamdulillah the 3 and 5 Y.O kids will understand. the most important thing is Doa.. Keep praying for the successful plan. For their good future..
Good luck..May the success with us. amin..
