centers of motherhood and childhood by specialized
professors to urge the heads of families on the
importance of respecting time, and how to codify the
time spent by heads of households on Facebook,
with the introduction of several alternatives to
hobbies through which to spend leisure time so as
not to use Facebook as the only hobby which
encourages the occurrence and continued addiction.
2- The contribution of all media in the awareness
campaigns about the importance of human
development of children, and the guidance of
housewives to the best and simplest ways that can be
used with children to develop their skills to become
effective in the community, designing programs
hosted by professors specializing in this area.
