Promoting Healthy Habits and Responsible Technology Use in Children

Parents usually give their children access to mobile phones, tablets, or televisions as long as the child does not bother and leaves them alone.

Today, technologies have many programs to promote healthy habits but they are not always used correctly.

As many children and young people stay connected at all times, they eat at any time, disorderly and in large portions. Lack of exercise, obviously related to the use of technology, is another factor for being overweight.

What you have to understand is that they have their proper times and schedules to use it. It is recommended that you propose additional activities to your children that keep them away from the devices.

All family members must be clear about the breakfast, lunch and dinner times, and most importantly, they must be adhered to as much as possible. This helps prevent eating disorders and bad habits.

The food must have a specific area in the house. The important thing is to separate food from the use of technological devices, this is vital to improve eating habits.
We must not prohibit new technologies, since they are part of our environment and a learning method, the important thing is to teach them a rational and responsible use of technologies.
