"Dream - The giving of screentime or the use of gadgets for children should be limited every day. The use of gadgets for children under 6 years old is not recommended for more than 1 hour per day."

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Gadgets used are also recommended not to have small screens like mobile phones. Parents can use iPads, tablets, or televisions to provide screentime for children."

Although many experts recommend screen time limits, the reality is that many parents still give their children gadgets for more than the recommended time. Generally, gadgets are given to children so they can eat peacefully. Does your little one always eat with a gadget and can't let go? Moms and dads can follow the tips from Child Specialist, Lucky Yogasatria, below, so that children don't always eat while playing with gadgets.

"Dear Dream friends can apply these habits while practicing good eating etiquette and regular eating patterns. Following the behavior of parents can be an easy way for children to adopt good etiquette, timing, and eating patterns."
