The mother often tries to get rid of the weight of her children by forcing them to watch television and electronic devices at other times, to finish tasks at home or work without knowing the danger to children.
Dr. Adel Madani, Head of the Department of Psychiatry at Al-Azhar University, said that many modern medical studies recommend the importance of adhering to the WHO age-appropriate schedule for children when watching television or modern electronic devices starting at the age of two years for a certain number of hours a day rather than throughout the day.
The psychologist said in a statement to the "seventh day", that the child's brain in that period is incomplete and unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, especially if the content displayed contains footage of violence or beating may hurt his feelings and take root in his mind that it is normal .
He explained that instead of being exposed to violent and inappropriate content, the child can be directed to drawing or reading or practice a hobby of his preference, to discover his talent away from stopping his thinking at the limit of viewing only.
