Children are great imitators, not infrequently all information will be easily accepted by children.
Gadgets not only have a negative impact on children, but also have some positive impacts.
Among them in the mindset of children, namely being able to help children in regulating the speed of their play, being able to determine strategies that are appropriate to the game, and being able to improve the performance of the right brain.
