6 Unexpected Reasons Your Child Is Suddenly Behaving Badly!

6. Screen time

Did you know that screen time has a big impact on your child’s health as well as behavior?

If your child spends too much time playing games or watching online videos on the phone, tablet, or TV, they will grow attached, if not addicted, to these electronic devices. And guess what happens when you take them away, your child either gets grumpy, throws tantrums, or becomes more aggressive and snarky.

Too much screen time causes your child to become overstimulated, which then leads to irritability, mood swings (or mood disorders), and even anxiety when you decide to reduce their exposure to screen.

Overexposure to electronic devices can also result in sleep problems, ADHD, depression, problems with social interaction, and childhood depression.

Your responsibility as a parent is to cut down on your child’s screen use. If your child is used to their phone or tablet, don’t just remove them suddenly, do it gradually.
