Q My child is 7 years old and now he has started demanding for mobile phone, we both are working and most of the time he is with our maid and busy with activities, when we are home he is not interested in spending time with us. He wants to talk with his friends all the time. What we can do in such situation? Giving him mobile will a good decision ? will it harm his health? is mobile bad for children please guide!!
Giving him mobile does not seem a good solution for this situation, as he is too young to have mobile phone. There is no such worthy reason why he should have mobile phone. He might have seen some of his friend having mobile and hence he is demanding it. You can try to find the reason why he is interested in using mobile phone at this young age. If he just want it to chat with his friends, you can make some arrangements to take him to his friends house whenever you are free. Or you can do the things of his interest when you want to spend time with him. Though your are worlking, you should keep good communication with your child. Be friendly with him and try to explore his world more closely. Probably this is the thing needed to handle this situation.
