AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Can you please advise what to do with the over  use of mobile phones? Adults are on their phones, children are, it seems that’s the only thing people do these days is constantly be on their phone, What is the solution?

The only way to get rid of this disease of ‘mobilitis’ is to draw clear lines for oneself as well as for family to follow. For example set up screen time limits for children. Explain to them the problems of excessive indulgence with mobile and if they are unable to follow, take the mobile and hand it over only for the necessary duration.

With adults in the family make certain ground rules that no mobile strictly during dinner and moments of togetherness. 

That is all one can do. Rest is upto oneself as beyond a point one cannot force anyone.

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
