Ahmedabad: The focus of children is shaken by Corona

Ahmedabad: The parents of a 12-year-old child approached a city-based psychiatrist when they were worried about his welfare.
The child, besides spending around four hours at school, used to spend about four to five hours on social media and games.

Thus, many also experience isolation related to infection.

“The need for hours is to eliminate myths about pandemics, teach the right safety practices, and ensure that the child is not alienated,” he said.

Dr.
Deepti Bhatt, a city-based psychiatrist, said that while boys a little more in percentage compared to girls when it comes to such cases, the girls were found to spend more time on social media and worrying about people like that.
