🧠 Ask The Expert | Too Much Screen, Too Little Play: Is Your Child Losing Essential Life Skills?

Wah, I really feel very torn leh… I don’t want to give my kid too much screen time, but everywhere around him got people using phone, tablet. My parents, in-laws also like to show him songs with video. Then when he go play with friends, all also using tablet. On one hand I want to be more strict, but at the same time I scared he like… end up left out or behind... Is there any balance way to do this

My daughter is only 2 years 3 months leh… but already know how to press phone... If I show him one video, he can swipe the screen, and when he see the other video thumbnails, if he recognise one, he will straight away tap it sia. Aiyo, I a bit worried lah… how come he so young already know how to do all this?

What kind of play actually helps with things like focus, emotional control, and communication? We’re not really sure what activities are truly beneficial 😅 I mean, everytime we try to engage our son (1,5 yo) into playful activities it only gets messy or he ends up crying

Nowadays school also using tablet right? Like even in preschool they already start. I’m worried leh… if I limit too much at home, later my kid cannot keep up how? But at the same time, I also don’t want him to get too hooked on screen

Sometimes I see younger kids using screens so well... like they can navigate everything so fast. Should I be worried if mine can’t do the same yet? Does it mean they’re more developed? Feels like I got FOMO… but for development

Hi... My daughter (3) throws tantrums when we take her iPad away. How do we handle this better especially when we're out in public. We felt so bad we let her use one in the first place

What can I do if both grandparents and other caregivers keep giving screen time behind my back? I want to be consistent but it's hard when others don’t follow. It's uncontrollable

My girl very shy in real life but super expressive on screen (like video selfie, filters etc). Should I be concerned? She like two different people!!!

My boy play alone with toys very fast get bored leh… end up asking for iPad. What to do? I also not creative one… how to keep him occupied?
