At Kaintal Prep School, one of the best schools in Patiala, we acknowledge that eating needs as much focus and attention as any other activity. The process of digestion of food begins as momentarily as we start eating. However, if kids have little to no interest in the food they’re eating, it has high chances of ceasing the whole physiological process of digestion altogether.
Such being the case, we are presenting some of the reasons why we insist on forbidding screen time to kids while they eat.
Eating and watching TV simultaneously
may trigger obesity
Science
infers that eating gives optimal results when done within a certain period. If
children are allowed screen time while they eat, they will most likely be more
interested in the content they are watching rather than the food they are
having.
Not only does it minimizes the impact of the nutritional intake, but it also decelerates the digestion process which in turn advocates obesity, as all of it leads to a slower metabolism.
Hinders the family time
Plenty of dialogue and conversations take place at dinner tables. But if there is a TV show going on or the kids are on their smartphones, you lose a chance of strengthening the bond with family.
Kids do not realize the value of
food
While the kids are more focused on the screen, eating becomes a secondary activity for them and they hardly value food as much as it deserves.
At
Kaintal Prep School the best ICSE prep school in Patiala, we firmly reckon that food has
an important role to play in staying healthy, and thus needs due care and
consideration.
