Screen addiction
The impact of screens on children is especially important right now. The rules set before the pandemic lost their effect with the extension of the time we stayed at home. The use of phones, tablets and computers, which became obligatory in the distance education process, also created addictions. In order for us to say addiction; screen time should increase day by day, problems arise when not playing games (such as anger problems), disruptions in responsibilities and relationships, and decrease in other daily activities. Banning screen use completely will not be a solution in this process, parents need to regulate screen time in constructive ways. Classes are held online, most of the day is spent in front of the screen. When the lesson is over, our children naturally want to play games, we know that most parents are worried about their screen time.

At least one or two hours before sleep, a screen-free clock can be applied, reading a book together and various activities according to the age of the child.
Time spent with children, games and activities will minimize screen time.
