MamaMuna

There’s something in my house quietly competing with me for my child’s attention… and it’s winning.

This morning opened my eyes.

Muna woke up and went straight to the tablet.
Not food. Not greeting. Just tablet.

I stood there asking myself… what kind of children are we raising these days?

So I decided to try something.
I took the tablet, switched it off, and placed it on the center table in the parlour where he could see it.

I told him clearly, “Do NOT touch this until I come back.”

I didn’t hide it. I wanted to see if he would obey.
I stepped out.

When I came back… he had already taken it, turned it on, and was deeply watching cartoons like nothing else mattered.

I had to discipline him.

But now I’m thinking…

Did I handle it well? Or is there a better way?
Because this is getting serious.

Why will a child ignore food because of a screen?

Why won’t they hear when you call?

Why do they forget everything around them?

Parents, how are you handling this?

Do you limit screen time strictly?

Do you stop it completely?

Or is there a balance that works?

Let’s talk.
What would you have done?
