Greetings Everyone! Hope you all will be fine and doing well. Welcome to my new article.

In this modern era, every soul has a mobile in his hand and an internet connection. Even adolescents have mobile phones to play video games and to entertain themselves. Furthermore, it is becoming a necessity as the modern way of education is through screen devices. Even without having such devices you can’t enroll your children into schools.

Despite having lots of advantages there are numerous disadvantages as well. Giving mobiles to children who are less than seven years old is extremely harmful as it deteriorates the child's mind as well as health. This would not be wrong if I tell you that your kid must remain unfamiliar with mobile, tablets and other screen devices for up to seven years old.

If you have two choices for your kid either you can place ember (hot coal) or a mobile phone to your kid's palm then I will strongly recommend you please put ember on the palm as it is less harmful as compared to mobile. I am saying this without any emotion and people who have kids in their homes must do the same that is aforementioned. I know these are crazy and harsh words but believe me this is extremely crucial to restrict our lovely children from mobiles.

I can prove it scientifically why we must restrict our children from using mobile phones. This thing is immensely important and if we did not pay any attention toward this matter, believe me after fifteen to twenty years we will have a generation having depression, anxiety, suicidal tendency, psychiatric issues, drug addiction, and they will be unable to protect their relations. In short words they will be dangerous for the society, and they will not be able to contribute for the betterment of humanity.

Let me tell you how mobile actually damages our brain. When we ON our mobile, it creates an event called “Micro Event”. Every event which creates pleasure produces a chemical in our brain called “Dopamine”. Dopamine is actually an amino acid and our body produces it because it is important to perform different tasks in our life.

Every pleasure produces Dopamine and source of pleasure could be anything i.e. Delicious food pleasure, drug addiction (smoking, wine) pleasure, listening to songs pleasure, watching movies pleasure or materialistic things possession pleasure.

The quantity of events that will develop in your child’s brain while spending four hours with you doing fun and playing cricket will be equal to playing a two-minute video game on mobile. Actually, when you are performing some physical events with your son, amount of happiness exceeds as compared to pleasure.

Against happiness, another chemical called “Oxytocin” is produced. In other words, physical events produce oxytocin and artificial events produce dopamine. More oxytocin in your brain means you are healthy and have no depression. Dopamine further produces receptors which are temporary, and these receptors have a very bad behavior as they automatically expand their quantity.

For instance, if you use your mobile for the first time for two minutes, obviously it will produce dopamine and this dopamine will create some receptors. These receptors will expand themselves. Then automatically next time these receptors will demand more dopamine, and you will use your mobile for a little longer, maybe for three minutes and this process will continue.

This process is called addiction. Every addiction has its own receptors and every type of receptor will demand more and more dopamine, and you will do more to fulfill the demand of receptors. Screen addiction is more injurious than smoke, wine and other drugs. For example, smoking five cigarettes in five minutes will create exactly the same amount of dopamine when your child plays video games for three minutes.

After some time a larger amount of dopamine would be required to fulfill the receptor and your child will do more and more crazy stuff. At this moment only mobile phones will not be sufficient to provide such dopamine and eventually your child will face “childhood depression and frustration”. In the end, the child will try new things to fill this vacuum i.e. this is possible he will try drugs or try to steal something.

Closing Thoughts

To put it in a nutshell, if we did not restrict our children to use mobile for entertainment, we will have a depressed, anxious and self-loving nation in the future. Always try to use mobile for only information and communication purposes and try to minimize screen time. Dear readers, if you like my article then don’t forget to like, subscribe and comment.
