The screen Time limit often helps the parent in exercising parental control over their children if they are spending more time than usual time on several devices. Screen Time indicates the time spent by your children on different devices, whether watching movies on television, playing video games, or uploading videos and photos on social media sites. According to research, it has been proved that children are spending more time on electronic media than spending time on any other activities, which is 7 hours a day as an average. Spending too much time on electronic media has adversely affected the children as they are doing such things on the cost of their sleep. This has resulted in poor grades and increasing cases of obesity among the kids. Another significant adverse effect related to spending more time on electronic media is reducing the engagement of children in educational activities. Screen time limit helps you to protect your children from becoming the slave of their habits. You can see the list of time spent by your children on several devices during the week or month.
