These past few days, I've had a difficult time convincing my 9-year-old son to stop playing games on my phone. I let them use the phone because their modular class had been canceled, but I noticed something was wrong. The way they interact with me and their sleeping habits have already changed.

Parents prefer to rely on devices to calm their children

Modern tech and children are a common practice in many countries. Every morning when I wake up, I see my children holding a cellphone. I'm sure some of you have had similar experiences with your children. At one time, parents held high regard for gadgets as a means of pacifying their children as well as an interactive and fun resource. I won't deny it, I'm one of all the parents who are relying on the gadget in pacifying my kids. However, it soon becomes an unsettling sight. These devices are altering the a whole childhood experience, even substituting televisions, toys, recreational areas, and reading materials. They seem to be a part of growing up in aspects that were previously unthinkable.

What are the effects of Gadgets on children?

◾Too many gadgets can have a serious affect on a child's brain's structure and function, resulting in developmental delays, intellectual delays, lower academic achievement, increased distractibility, and a decreased individual's ability.

It would be far preferable if parents would do activities related to learning development to their children instead of allowing them to play or watch on screen.

◾Children who spend much of their time betting next to one of monitors instead of outside in sports fields, seem to be unhealthy.

Children should be allowed to play as much. They must recognise that there are numerous advantages to playing, including walk, run, jump and of course socializing to others.

Parents should keep exposing their children to more sports participation and then instill technology in their children's later years for a healthier as they thrive.

◾Most parents have observed that their children become argumentative as a result of spending long periods of time playing games on their devices. Emotional outbursts seem to be the most common type of aggression in toddlers. Children who are addicted to video games are often more likely to encounter and refuse to follow their older adults as they grow into adulthood.

Rather than screens, try art supplies to calm down your little flywheel. My kids used to do arts thing, but little by little they're changing. So, I need really to put away gadgets on their sight.

◾They could handle playing on their own by using phones. When children spend most of the time on new tech and not enough time with friends, it restricts interconnection and interferes with normal progression of children's effective communication. Young kids in a home setting frequently fail to maintain their interaction with their parents because they overwhelm themselves with various objects. Others imitate and end up owning the abilities of having a conversation from television but screw up when it comes to connecting with those around. I'm so worried, because all my kids have the same problem when talking. I noticed that cartoons they've watched, they're speaking styles changed too.

◾Children who become serious about playing on their phones these days do not get enough entirety. On other instances, playing on their screens serves as little more than a relaxant. They are becoming irritable and violent if they do not have it.

Honestly, it's happening to my kids and that makes me so worried. The rolling eyes, pouting mouth and putting force on things were there.

◾Gadgets are suffocating a language growth. They would just rather spend more time at home and start games on their workstation than go out and understand the realities of the world, move, and socialize to other youths.

Young kids ought to be capable of everything that they should do. This is one of the advantages of enjoying in play areas; they find out a lot from engagement, social bonding, the great outdoors, and existence.

◾Continuous computer display use strains the eyes. Adolescents who've been addicted to video games seem to be more prone to developing symptoms as they grow. Vision provides additional information as to how videogames impacts children's eyes.

◾Too much exposure on gadgets radiation can harm them too!

SUMMARY:

If parents persist to indulge their kid's urges, they are fostering addictive behavior. Instead of leaving their kids at household with their smart phones, parents should expose them to the rest of world. Rather than becoming obsessed to such devices, they should have been exposed to activities that foster mental, physical, and emotional development. New tech should then be promoted while also being regulated. It is a new generation, and children should be educated on these developments. Parents, on the other hand, must carry out their role in safeguarding their child. Implement habit of getting outside and exciting sports with children his age as there is still time.

Sa inaanak ko pinapagcellphone lang siya kapag walang class. Alam niya na di pwede maghawak cellphone kapag meron and sinusunod naman niya. Kaya favorite day niya Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Hehe. Pero kapag ako bantay niya, gagawin niya magpapakandong tapos ako tiga pindot para hindi siya ang may hawak ng phone. Wais.🤣 pero di naman siya naggegames sa phone ko kasi wala naman akong games. Magsesend lang siya emojis sa lola niya.

Tama ka sis, mostly ng parents ngayon eh nagrerely sa gadgets para mapatahan ang mga bata. Bukod sa di maganda sa health eh nagiging pangit din ang behaviour nila lalo na kung di nasusubaybayan.

Need talaga mapigilan habang di pa ganon kalala. Ambilis pa naman lumaki ng mga bata ngayon baka pag sinasanay sila magulat ka nalang iba iba na pinapanood. Tamang gabay talaga need kasi baka sa huli ikaw din mahirapan dahil kesyo ikaw/kayo ang magulang.
