‘No, mumma... I’m not hungry!’
‘Please eat a little bit, dear’
‘Nooo... I don’t want to... I want to sleep’
‘First, eat a
little... then you will have a good sleep’
‘No...!’
‘Okay, watch your favorite
cartoon and eat... is that okay?’
‘I guess...’
And that is how the
routine becomes. The child wouldn’t eat without the gadget and would continue
to cry endlessly, to the point that they start to lose their mind... and in the
midst of all this, if they let their child spend a few minutes which turn into
hours with the gadgets, so that they can get some time to themselves or a little alone time, which promises silence for a change, does sound like a
win-win situation at that point!

Sometimes, when mothers want some time to
themselves, they end up making their children sit in front of the TV so that they can have some peace for a
while! There are a lot of children who don’t want to eat at all... anything at
all for that matter, in those cases I’ve seen them feeding their child only French
fries or only ice-cream 24*7... Because like
this, at least something is going inside their body!
They do realize it’s not healthy but then not eating
too isn’t. Yes, they’ve tried not serving anything at all for hours and yet it
didn’t work!
I don’t know if it’s
right or wrong... but I do know that they hear a lot from the family and peers
about this!
What do you think
about this? Is it wrong to let your child play with the gadget if you want some
peace or if you want to make your child eat anything peacefully, just give them
an electronic device and they will be all fine?

Welcome to my Blog! This A to Z Challenge, my theme is ‘Let’s see the other Side’. Through this theme, I'm trying to giving voice lot of things that go around us and yet I can't do much to bring about the change. I feel, sharing my thoughts in my space here will somewhere make someone think and bring about the change we all want to see!
where I’ll be sharing about the daily nuances that we’ve been seeing in the same way since 1990’s! (:P) But this time you’re going to ponder over it a bit differently.
Feel free to express your thoughts and I'd be all ears!
I hope you have a great time here!
