Tablets, phones, smartwatches, games… Electronics are all around us, and kids see them as a natural part of everyday life. But how can you tell when it’s too much? How much time should children spend with technology so that it benefits them rather than harms them?
Technology as a Natural Companion
The goal isn’t to ban electronics, but to teach kids how to use them wisely.
Just like with food or exercise, the key is balance. Electronics can be a great tool when used for creativity, learning, or movement. But if they become just a form of passive entertainment, they start taking away time and attention.
Recommended Screen Time by Age
There’s no one-size-fits-all rule, but experts generally agree on a few guidelines:
- Preschoolers: up to 1 hour a day, ideally with a parent.
- Younger school kids: 1–2 hours a day, with breaks and a mix of activities.
- Older kids and teenagers: more time is fine, as long as it’s not just passive content consumption.
The real key is quality over quantity.
Active vs. Passive Screen Time
Not all screen time is the same.
When a child creates, takes photos, makes music, or builds something, it’s active, developmental time.
But hours of endless scrolling or watching videos without purpose do more harm than good.
That’s why it’s better to offer kids electronics that spark creativity rather than suppress it – just like LAMAX Play products do.
A Balance That Works
A healthy approach means electronics are part of the day, not the whole day.
They help, entertain, and teach – but they don’t limit. A few simple rules make a big difference:
- include screen-free time every day,
- allow electronics only after movement or homework,
- create or play together as a family.
When kids see technology as a natural tool rather than an escape, they learn to use it consciously and responsibly.
Electronics That Make Sense
The goal of LAMAX Play is to show that modern electronics can help kids grow instead of holding them back.
When you give them devices that encourage creativity, imagination, and discovery, you don’t need to count every minute.
Because time spent learning and creating always counts differently than just staring at a screen.
