Just a decade ago, parents thought
that sharing their gadgets with their children will enhance the mental and
intellectual growth of their child. They started buying expensive gadgets for
their small children spreading reasons like—‘we gave for security reasons’, ‘we
wanted our child to become techno-friendly’ and so on. I just wanted to ask
this simple question to these parents, ‘your parents never shared such gadgets
with you, so are you dumb? Or are you not capable of using them today when you
can easily afford them.
What I feel is that by doing so
these people are more showing-off rather than worrying about the child’s
security because if they were actually worried about their child’s future they would
have postponed this plan. There are
several disadvantages of increased on-screen timings. The most dangerous one’s
are:-
· Obesity.
Obesity is
one of the biggest problem in the developed and developing countries. Children are
busy playing indoor video games and chatting on mobiles instead of playing on
grounds.
· Lack of
attention.
Due to increasedon-screen time, the children are becoming less reactive and more dull.
· Sleeplessness.
Children often
become addictive of these mobile and video games thus start suffering from
sleeplessness.
· Low Mental
Growth.
Due to lack
of sleep and rest mind gets tired and this results in the decreased mental and intellectual
growth.
· Aggressiveness.
This is one
of the most dangerous effects on increased on-screen time. In this the child
becomes very short-tempered if his wishes are not fulfilled quickly.
· Lack of
Interest in Education.
These children
lose interest in studies and are always thinking about new ways to avoid
studies and spend more and more time on their gadgets.
· Lack of Interest
in Sports.
Such children
don’t want to mix with other children and believe in spending more and more
time with their gadgets.
