Parents' struggle to get children off devices'

Many UK parents find it easier to(发现做某事容易) get their children to do homework, go to bed or have a bath than turn off（关掉） their phones, laptops and TVs, a poll finds.

A survey for the charity Action for Children found almost one in four mothers and fathers (23.1%) struggle to control their children's screen use（控制孩子看电视/玩电脑的时间 = reduce their children’s screen time = reduce the amount of time spent on screens）.

The charity has published a series of tips to help families reduce the amount of time children spend watching television and using screens (=control their children’s screen use).

The suggestions include:

planning family activities (安排家庭活动) that do not include technology

creating a weekly schedule (做周计划) based on the idea of one hour of technology use equalling one hour on other activities

recreating favourite childhood games（重建最喜欢的儿时的游戏）

parents turning off their devices at the same time as children have screen-free time (无电视的时间).

Carol Iddon, managing director of operations at Action for Children, said: "Technology is an often necessary part of the lives of children and parents alike, but it's important to maintain a balance with other activities and quality family time.（要和其他活动和家庭时间保持平衡）

"We know from our extensive work with families that strong relationships with parents build resilience in children（提升儿童的适应力),making them less susceptible to （不易受…的影响= be lessvulnerable to ）bullying or abuse outside the home, and encouraging them to speak to their parents about any fears or concerns.

           "As well as the conscious effort to cut down on screen time, some parents benefit from(从….当中受益) additional support, such as dropping in（(口语)与哪一参加）for a chat or attending support groups at children's centres, to learn how to better connect with their children."
