40th Anniversary - Gymboree Play and Music
In conjunction with their 40th Anniversary, Gymboree Play and Music , a global leader in classes for kids aged 0-5 years hosted a dialogue session to discuss positive and negative aspects of raising children in a technologically advanced generation.

The invited panellists were Ms Michelle Lim Chua, author of “The Mindful Mum”, Dr Chow Su Lin, consultant paediatrician and Co-Founder of the Baby and Beyond Child Specialist Centre and Ms Ooi Kim Koon, Managing Director of Gymboree Play and Music Malaysia.




40th Anniversary - Gymboree Play and MusicThe dialogue session was held at the Gymboree Play and Music Bangsar Village outlet.

The dialogue session explored many aspects of raising children by moderating the usage of technology in their daily lives.

Parents of young children have started using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to calm or distract their toddlers with a cartoon and thus giving them a break.

Although it is easy to discipline or distract a child using technology, there is a risk of over exposing the child to the device.

This could lead to dependence of the device resulting in a situation where the child can lose interest in other activities and show signs of anxiety, distress and behavioural problems.

The American Academy of Paediatrics’ (AAP) recommends that children aged between two and five years should not be exposed to screens for more than an hour daily because their brain will rapidly develop during these first few years, children should learn by interacting with real people to develop social skills.

However, the AAP has advised in their guidelines that it is important consider the quality of the content instead of setting a time limit.

“0-5 years old is the time when your parenting efforts are most impactful in building your children’s brain architecture as their social, emotional and cognitive development is exponential in this period. Invest in your relationship with them now and it will serve as a strong foundation for the rest of your lives.

It is also the time when they are the most, incorrigible, interesting and magical creatures.” said Dr Chow Su Lin, consultant paediatrician and Co-Founder of the Baby and Beyond Child Specialist Centre.
