Screen Dependency Disorder (SDD) in Children

We want matters to be easy these days. We don’t want to sit for hours feeding our kids while telling them stories. We don’t want to sit with our kids and play for hours when they are bored. We don’t want to cajole them when they are throwing tantrums. No, we are too busy to give time to our kids now-a-days. We adopt the easiest resort by handing them over our mobile phones. Everything falls in place instantly. The kids stop crying, they eat food fast and there is no moment of boredom with mobile phones in hand.
