Reasons Why I Don't Want My Kids To Hold Phones

Nowadays, it's very common to see kids having mobile phones at a very young age. Though some of those young ones don't know how to read yet but they already know how to navigate or use a mobile phone. From browsing different applications like YouTube and Google Play Store. Once the child open the Google play store, he/she begins to download some mobile games that catch his/her interest. Those mobile games can be very addicting and if the parents will just let the child be addicted to those, it will be very hard to let the kids stop from playing those.

I am a mother of four and I admit that before when I Adam was still a baby, inorder for his siblings to behave, I will let them used my phone. There are educational games I downloaded specifically for them like those pointing some colors and shapes and many other educational games. But later on, Xandra get addicted to it. She will secretly got our phones and hid at the back of the door and play those games installed until she fell asleep. Those habit of hers lasted for how many months. We just let her stopped when we noticed a problem with her eyesight. If we look closely, she seemed to be a crossed-eyed child. Then one of the elders in the community taught us to massage the eyebrow part (massaging from center to the side) inorder for her eyesight to be back to normal and thanks God after many months of doing it, it is now finally okay.

Another reason why I don't want them to hold phones is because once they will get a hold of it, it will be hard for them to move. Once they are called, it seems that they don't hear that they are called just like my nephew before. Since he got addicted with ML game, when my grandma called him, he won't stand up immediately instead he would reply "later". That time when he was called, it was supposed to be their meal time but since he was getting addicted with the game, he didn't care if he couldn't eat as long as he was satisfied playing with his phone.

That addiction didn't only affect his daily routine, it also affected his studies. If he belong in honor list before, later he only got a passing grade. My grandma was really not okay with my nephew having phone but since his mother bought phone for him and provided mobile load allowance every month so my nephew would really enjoy playing to the extent that he can't focus on his health and studies anymore.

That ML addiction only stopped when "Bagyong Odette" happened where Cebu had experienced no electricity for three months. And right now, I never heard from my sister and brother complaining about my nephew. It seems that he had not playing it anymore or if he still play, maybe just when he had free time.

Anyways, this will be all for my blog today. Thank you for reading!

Sometimes we can't help but it's dangerous to children at some certain stages to be glued or addicted to phones. It's just like you said that most of them don't know how to read but they've already known how to navigate sites,,,and before you know it, they've entered places they are not supposed to enter

Some parents believe that giving their children a cell phone is beneficial to them. However, they don't realize that it can have negative consequences, especially if their phone time is not controlled.

There are some reasons that parents give for allowing their kids to use these devices. In addition to those reasons, there are other reasons why parents should not allow their kids to have smartphones. However, I want to believe every parent wants the best for their kids and each has their own method. If a parent decides to allow their kids to use smartphones, it should be managed.

That's correct kids should not be addicted to phones, especially to games, but it is, I think, not correct they should not hold phone, instead they should keep a proper check on them and give them full attention. Anyways, nice article to be read, and for parents to get lesson from this

Letting kids hold phones or not depends on the parents. If for you its not correct that they should not hold phones because you have reason for it, mine I also have reasons why not let them hold because I also do have reasons for it and I respect your thoughts about it.

Yes, everyone has their own thoughts of course. But I have a nephew and niece her mother allow him to watch some cartoon and play a few mind games, and they have to strictly follow the rules otherwise they won't allow them to play and watch. Meaning they do play and watch but only for sometimes... Anyways I won't say you are wrong

Kung tutuuusin Hindi pa talag dapat pahawakin ng phone mga bagets . mga anak ko minsanan ko lang pahiramin lalao na yung bunso basta kapag kakain siya para ms marami siyang makain after nun kinukuha ko na yung hone ko. And pumapayag naman siya unlike before n iniiyakan ako. Mahira akai yung radiation at yung magiging effect s mata ng mga bata.

Yan talaga isa sa rason kung bakit ayaw ko muna pahawakin ng phone ang mga bata sis, kasi ang radiation grabe ang epekto sa mga bata. Tayong mga magulang ang maproblema kung maapektuhan ang mga bata natin.

That's what I also have in mind. They can't have phones yet until they are on the right age to hold it or unless it is required in their school activities like research.

Ya I can definitely see your concerns. Children need usefulness in their lives. They have to play and be interactive with others so they can learn and be social with others. Playing games or being on devices all the time takes away from this. My son didn't get his personal phone until he was 13. He begged and begged years before that but we didn't give in. Looking back on it I think that was a good decision. You are right on mommy not wanting them to hold phones. How old is your oldiest if you don't mind me asking?

That's true, kids should play and have fun with kids on the same ages as theirs so they will enjoy their childhood years instead of letting themselves be hooked with some mobile games... You did a right decision of not giving your son a phone before 13. I think he also enjoyed those years without any phone, right? My eldest is 11 right now.

Kids are not supposed to immerse themselves in using mobile phones unless with the guidance of their parents or an adult to minimize their usage. Many problems occurred to the young ones because of too much exposure to gadgets since the digital era was introduced.
