Group Of Children Running In Park
Imagine a lone kid playing with a tablet, what do you see? I see a child who is slowly becoming introverted and a loner. Since he is in his own world, he doesn’t feel the need to interact with others and slowly his social skills will go down.

I am seeing it very close Bushra, and I try very very hard for it to correct in my house. But it’s so difficult as they are born with these things around. When they are infants we try and teach them and engage them with tablets and when they grow up, we worry that they send too much time playing with it. As a new parent I have made these to, without realising the consequences inlayer life. Each of my blogpost comes from my own mistakes and learnings…hope to overcome those some day :).
