Hello parents, today let's talk about digital amnesia. What is amnesia is being forgetful? That is, long term memory is getting converted to short term memory. And why is this happening? Amnesia there could be various reasons for it to happen. But the current topic is digital amnesia, which is very, very prevalent in current times, current times with among our children. This is Dr. Sabri Karwal Bakhi, the author of the book Just Expecions Available on Amazon. Thank you for visiting my YouTube channel. Why is it happening? Because all our children have gone in the digital mode and they are blessed with notifications. There are multiple notifications sitting there, phone. There is a notification on Facebook, they jump to Facebook. There is a notification on Instagram, they go to Instagram. There's a notification from their mail, they go to their, they visit their mail. So because of this, there's fleeting attention. As a result of which there is lack of focus. The child is not focusing on one particular piece of information. And this is what is causing all the long term memory to convert to short term memory. And ultimately it is the child starts forgetting all the information. You know, we realize this is not only with children, even with others. In older times, we could even remember phone numbers. Now we can't even remember those. We could remember lanes and addresses. But now we can't even remember those because we have started being dependent on Google. So parents, how do we get rid of this digital amnesty with our children? First thing is, we need to stop all the notifications with respect to the phones. Next is that let your child not take the mobile phone to bed to sleep. Because sleep is very, very important. The child needs to sleep very well. Third thing is that your child needs to concentrate, needs to focus on whatever work the child is doing. Because the child can't have fleeting, can't be multitasking all the time. Multitasking is bad. And at the same time, the child needs to take a digital detox that is keep away from the phone at least on a Saturday or a Sunday for even a full day for half a day or maybe three fourth of the day. This has to be very consciously practiced. And last but not the least, parental guidance. You parents need to start monitoring your child's activity on the phone so that the focus remains. And there is no fleeting attention. There is no multitasking. As a result of it, the child will start developing. The short term memory will move to long term memory and the child will stop forgetting. So this is a concern for parents. Let's together address this topic. So hashtag happy parenting.
