Some ground rules are important for young children

Above all, it is highly important to give frequent breaks between screen time, especially for young children. Parents need to take an active part in this situation as video games can be tricky and demanding sometimes. Like any new technology, parents need to be with their child to make him understand how all this works. No doubt, parents have to make some ground rules when it comes to screen time and video games.
