Screen Addiction... How Do We Protect the Child?

Pediatric specialist Dr. Nuranagiz Hajiyev, associate professor at Azerbaijan Medical University, offered parents advice on gently weaning children off electronic devices, including compensating for what she called "fast dopamine" with real-life activities, changing screen settings to black and white for those under 16, parents modeling behavior, and setting clear rules such as no screens an hour before bed, a morning free of digital stimulants, and not using the device as a reward or punishment.
