The Malaysian Ministry of Health is now presenting a simple infographic, advising parents to ensure that children under 2 years of age are not directly exposed to gadgets.
This is because gadget addiction can happen as early as 3 years old. This will at once bring several effects to the children, including not being interested in other activities, slow to speak, less interaction, and also easily tantrum or angry when not given a gadget.
The Ministry of Health advises to limit the time of use to only about 1 hour a day for children aged 2 to 5 years.
In addition, children are also encouraged to play outside more than using gadgets.
