Children and Electronics – level 1
28-10-2024 15:00
A British agency writes a report. It says that children are using electronics more and more. Some very young children have tablets. They use them over an hour a day. Some older children use their electronics for many hours a week.
A psychologist says that parents need to set rules. These rules say when and where their children can use their electronics. A mother says that her children argue with her when she asks them to get off the electronics.
No one knows how much time is OK for children to use electronics. However, they should not use them for very long.
Difficult words: electronics (phones, tablets, computers), psychologist (a doctor who helps people with their mind and how they feel), rule (a rule tells you what you can or must not do), argue (say you feel differently and be emotional).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What advice does the psychologist give to parents regarding their children's use of electronics?
