Seda and Mert had a 4-year-old daughter named Melis. At the same time, Melis was going to have a brother very soon. The day that Melissa was waiting for with excitement came and she had a brother. Melissa wanted her brother's name to be Can. His mother and father also liked the name Can. For the first three months, Melis was spending time with her father because her mother always had to deal with the baby Can. Because at first, Mr. Mert allowed Melis to watch videos on the phone so that Melis could eat her food faster. But after a while, Melis's time watching videos and watching games on the phone gradually increased. Can became six months after a while. Now he has started eating fruit purees and food. Melis started making her brother watch while her brother was eating them to help her mother. Seda hanım was also pleased with this situation because he was eating faster because he was paying attention to the videos. Melis had now turned 5 years old.His parents enrolled her in daycare. Her teacher at the nursery called her parents at the end of the first week.

The teacher told them that Melis could not focus on activities and could not finish tasks in the classroom. She also had some difficulties communicating with her classmates. Seda and Mert were shocked and upset because they thought they were good and educated parents. 

    There was a mistake and they needed to find it. Seda, "What can we do? Is there a way to correct this error?" he asked. "Yes," said the teacher. "First of all, you should ban phones and TV not only to Melis, but also to her brother. They should be away from the screen. It's distracting. Also read books, do activities, play games. play games and spend time outside together. I believe that this will be useful for Melissa." 

    They thanked the teacher and promised to do what was necessary for their children. They got out of school, went to a bookstore to buy books and necessary supplies.

Can ve Melis kırtasiyeye girer girmez kendilerini büyülü bir dünyaya girmiş gibi hissettiler. Etraf rengarenk boyalar, oyun hamurları, parlak pullar, üzeri büyük resimlerle kaplı kitaplarla doluydu. Seda Hanım, satıcıya Melis'in seneye ilkokul 1. sınıfa başlayacağını belirtmiş. Satıcı yaşına uygun malzemeleri gösterdi. Çocuklar istediklerini seçtiler. Yemekten sonra ailece boyama, kesme ve yapıştırma etkinlikleri yaptılar. Oldukça yorgunlar. Erken uyudular. Uykuya daldıktan sonra Seda Hanım ve Mert Bey bugüne kadar yaptıkları yanlışları anlattılar. Teknolojiyi yanlış kullandıkları için bu dezavantajları yaşadıklarını düşünüyorlardı. Sürekli video izlemek yerine, çocuklarının yaşına uygun ve yaratıcı uygulamaları ebeveyn kontrolünde sınırlı bir süre kullanmalarının uygun olacağına karar verdiler.Melis ve Can o günden sonra akranlarıyla daha çok vakit geçirdiler. Yaz tatillerinde aile doğa yürüyüşleri ve kamplar yaptılar. Doğayı gözlemlediler.Resimler çizdiler,boyamalar yaptılar,oyun hamurlarıyla oynadılar.Ayrıca Melis'in öğretmeninin önerdiği okuma yazma öğrenme uygulamasını tablete indirdiler. Melis babasıyla birlikte günde 30 dakikayı geçmeyecek şekilde bu uygulamada harflerin seslerini ve yazım yönlerini gösteren etkinlikler yaptı. Okumayı öğrenmeyi dört gözle bekliyordu.

Melis, who is of kindergarten age, continued to use the tablet for a while, paying attention to the time limit. During this process, her mother Seda Hanım and her father Mert Bey paid great attention to this issue. 

Seeing her friends playing in the garden, Melis went to them with permission from her parents. Melis was very tired during the game because she always sat and didn't move much. She didn't know most of the games his friends were playing. That's why she had failed in the games she had played with his friends. Melissa was very upset about this situation.

 At dinner, she told his parents about what had happened. Melissa decided to make some decisions after that day.

Actually, Melissa's family noticed this situation. Constantly doing activities at home had hindered Melissa's performance in physical activities. The failures in the games had also negatively affected Melissa's self-confidence. Seda Hanım and Mert Bey told Melis that it was time for Melis to spend more time outside with her friend. Melissa was very happy about this. And from that day on, she started spending more time with his friends. Although she had problems at first, after a few weeks Melis learned to move fast and balanced like them and started to be successful in games.Gradually, without realizing it, she began to learn how to solve the small problems she experienced while playing games and that reconciliation was necessary.
