In an interview with the social media platform POPA Channel, Dr Eva Lau Yi-hung, Associate Head and Associate Professor of the Department of Early Childhood Education (ECE), shared practical tips with parents on how to manage children’s screen time during school suspension, such as by modeling controlled use of mobile devices and discussing and coming up with an agreement about screen time with children beforehand.
Dr Lau added that it is normal for children to feel bored during this critical time. The feeling of boredom may nonetheless give children a chance to use their creativity, thinking of ways to entertain themselves at home without mobile devices or the Internet.
