In UAE, channel E-junior is aired for small kids which have some really great shows related to manners, history, science, art and, active play too. Like Dinosaur Train, Cat in the Hat, Daniel Tiger’s neighborhood, Topsy and Tim to name a few. Keep the privacy setting on. Practice safe browsing: if the internet suggests some website is potentially dangerous or unsafe, then kids should be advised to close the page. Download carefully. Allowing the kids a lot of time on the internet will eventually make them want to explore more. Kids are inquisitive, so keep that time allowed in check. Boredom can lead them to things other than they have to do. Like a chat on social media with a stranger, sharing their personal information online, sharing any pictures or videos of themselves or family members. meeting anyone you know online can be dangerous, therefore, kids should be guided. Kids should stay alert and inform the parents of any such things to be e-safe. Stay S.M.A.R.T.As a rule of thumb, let the kids watch content that a grown up can also understand and enjoy. It should be sensible, and kid friendly.
Safe, Meetings, Accepting, Reliable and Tell
Keeping kids busy in activities other than screen time is also beneficial, safer and good for their development
Kids will always want that which has gripped grown up’s attention, whether it is a gadget like iPad, mobile, etc. My recommendation would be that learn to discipline oneself so that kids can learn self-control. It would be unfair to expect children to comply when these rules are not guided by examples. Last bit would be, get your phone or iPad to keep playing music or audiobooks.
