BLOG BY ALUMNI

Our esteemed alumni Ms. Mandeep Kaur (07-09) shares her blog with us that was featured on momspresso.com about the

effect of mobile phones on a child’s communication skills.

In this digital era when we are moving towards the development and growth, our coming generation is losing focus from the very tender age. We as a parent often make this mistake of giving mobile phones to kids so that they sit quietly and don’t bother us but in the form of mobile phones we are giving them poison which is going to affect their communication skills and parents are not aware of the importance of communication skills in child’s overall development.

There are four major parts of communication skills in child’s life

Listening Skills: The first and the foremost communication skill that we learn in our lives is Listening skills. When the child is in

mother’s womb he/she responds based on what he or she listens and not to forget

he also recognise you as a parent based on your voice. But when the same child

grows up we handover the phone to him and active listening becomes just listening

and not responding.

So, my advice is stop giving phone to your child and start brushing up their listening skills by narrating stories and then asking questions at the end. Speaking Skills: If your child is only engrossed in phone and not going out to

play with others how will he develop

speaking skills if his interaction is limited

with the outer world. One practice that I follow is whenever I go to grocery shop or

medical shop, I tell my son to check with the shopkeeper if the things we are

looking for is available, so by doing this I am exposing him to the other side of the

world. So, take away the phone and take your

child out to play. Writing skills: You must be wondering how writing relates to mobile phones so let me tell you when your child start learning writing skills he or she needs to have a proper listening skill so that he can understand what teacher is trying to tell and your child need to focus to master the skills. As mentioned earlier mobile phones

affect your child’s attentiveness hence affects everything related to it.

Reading Skills: If our child is on the phone most of the time then how will she be

able to develop the habit of reading. So, if your child is a teenager get them some

good motivational books which has less than 100 pages and ask them to read every day at least for 30 minutes, keep of target of 7 days to complete a book. Reading habit will improve your child’s

hold over language, it will improve his/her Vocabulary and motivational books will have a positive influence on his/her Personality. If the child is Below 10 then

you read out story books in front of them and explain the meaning this will inculcate the habit of reading in your child.

As a parent it is important for us to

nurture our child’s communication skills so that they express themselves fearlessly,

looking at today’s society it has become need of an hour and it also boost their self

-esteem and confidence. Let’s take an

oath to help our child develop these skills and then watch them succeed in life.
