I agree with waqar. IMO, childern must be motivated towards & provided opportunities to play different health improving outdoor games (football, cricket, badminton, etc) , instead of watching TV or playing games on computer. My chidren are school going, and whenever they have done their homework, and it is pleasant outside (especially after Asr prayer), I send them out in a nearby park area. There they can play football or cricket, and can do exercise as well. On weekends, during vacations and on other days when they are unable to go outside, they generally watch tv for 1-2 hours.

My kid is 2 nd 3 months old, we normally try to keep screen time as low as 1 hour/ 2 hour, when he watches cartoon or use mobile for game more than 2 hours, he becomes too difficult to handle. So we bought books that we read with him like picture stories and take him outside where he can play, run and climb monkey bar etc, after playing he becomes satisfied and easy to handle. that's my personal experience :-).

Wsalaam... That is the general principle, however I was wondering if people could share their personal experiences. Here is an article about it as well: http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/screen-time-preschool-1.4140491 Thanks.

Salam Makhzumi Screen time should be minimum but it should be replaced by healthy outdoor activities. Children become addicted to screens that's dangerous, we can not force them to reduce there screen time but provide them with healthy alternatives can change there interest. Regards

Hello Everyone, How much screen time would you recommend for your own kids. My son is 10 months old and I try to limit his screen time (Both TV and iPad) to max 1- 1.5 hours per day Whats your take on this? Thanks.
