This month's blog is
11 Ways to Help Your Kids Break Free from Electronics and Get Outside
.
In many aspects of human living, technology has revolutionized the
way things are done. The growth of screen technology through
various devices has helped parents to kill boredom in the family,
particularly among children. However, without appropriate control,
technology has negative implications on families - children spend
much of their time pursuing such activities as playing video games,
surfing through the Internet, and watching movies and TV programs.
In this post, experts share eleven tips that help you limit the screen
time of your kids to a reasonably healthy level.
Joe McLean is a dedicated freelance writer for Assignment Holic UK,
mostly in education and the self-improvement area, and also he works
as an online consultant with Australian assignment help and assignment
