Swami Mukundananda
Is it okay for my child to study with the TV or phone on?
Studying with screens on scatters focus
Switching between a screen and a book may be justified as multitasking, but there is always residual attention when you keep changing, and then you are naturally not doing your best. The college-going son who studied with the TV playing beside him had a completely shattered focus.
He was sitting at his study table studying, with the TV playing right beside him. He would steal a glance at the TV and then look back at the book.
