Have you ever called the name of your child three times, and no matter how many times you called, you got no reply, because they are attached to a colorful screen of cartoons? This is the zombie effect, and it is being played in the living rooms all over Pakistan. We all use screens to give us some time to relax, but in the back of our minds, there is that voice of conscience that asks us whether there is a better option.
However, in this era, it is nearly impossible to avoid screens. You need a break, and your child needs getting entertained. You have just arrived in the right place in case you need a solution that will give you peace of mind and make your child even smarter. This post will make you see why changing to Kids Audiobooks may become the best parenting hack that you have not tried so far.
The Problem with Passive Watching
Cartoons are entertaining, but they do not give a lot of space to the brain. The images, sound, and emotions are all presented on a silver platter. Studies on the harmful effects of cartoons indicate that such passive consumption does not lengthen the attention span, but, on the contrary, can in fact decrease the attention span. It is consuming candy that is both delicious and free of nutrients.
Why Audiobooks Win
The secret is that audiobooks are better than cartoons because they involve active engagement. Listening to a story about a flying carpet, the child’s brain of the child must create such a carpet. What color is it? How fast is it going? This psychological exercise is essential to early childhood education. It develops the “muscle” of imagination that the video just disregards.
The Urdu Connection
In our case, it is more about brain power and heritage. It is like searching for a needle in a haystack to find good Urdu Stories for Kids. The majority of the Urdu students’ studying apps are dull or full of advertisements. The Urdu Kids audiobooks, such as those provided in Alif Laila, provide a way out. They will enable your kid to listen to the sound and poetry of the language, which will enhance his or her vocabulary without even letting him or her know that he or she is learning.
Conclusion
The secret to solving the screen time battle lies not in seizing the device but rather in altering the content of the device. In case YouTube becomes too mindless or unsafe, there is nothing to worry about. Creating an audiobook may replace a cartoon with a zombie time and make it a creative time.
