Today's kids are a lot advanced. From all sides. Young children can now easily play many difficult games. What they are getting at a very young age now, many adults may not have used yet. The results are both good and bad. In fact, I am writing about this topic for a personal reason. My cousin's baby is in exactly the same category. At such a young age, he is busy using his mobile phone all day long. Because both his parents are busy with their work all day long. And during this corona, all the homework in their school, being a class model, it has increased even more. Of course now all classes are going offline. And here's the problem. Because they take online classes, they are no longer willing to take classes directly offline. His thinking classes can still be done online. He only studied in class 4. He does not want to write using a pen or pencil. He wants to write an electronic pad. Everything about him is mobile. He does not want to live a moment without it. He even goes to bed with a mobile phone next to his pillow while he sleeps. He has no idea about the outside world. He wants us to know what the wood of the paddy tree looks like. He has now taken the advice of a doctor to solve this problem. There was no way out without it. And the doctor said to keep him away from mobile and TV as much as you can. Because these are the causes of his problem. So I searched the internet and found some information about this problem. At present it has become a serious problem for parents. Because kids at this time tend to be more active, stubborn, and excited. And the main reason for this is the increase in screen time. Increased screen time means becoming addicted to TV, computer, mobile. And the bulb rays that come out of these devices increase the amount of melanopsin in babies and our brains.
As a result, we get less sleep or sleep is delayed. And as a result we have to face a deadly disease. That is diabetics. And for this, various diseases will start in the whole body. And this is not a good thing for us at all. And we are solely responsible for that. Because we have given these devices to our children. Which is why they don't cry, or disturb anyone. They are busy in these. But when this disease starts we just blame fate. And Amy doesn't know if there's a way out of this. Because it is not just in our country, many countries have this same problem. Not only children but also adults are suffering from the same problem. We don't want to run our mobile but we can't leave it. And because of this we suffer from more and more depression, not having the right amount of sleep, and if it continues to increase, many will end up in suicidal stages. But can it be fixed? Because of Corona we have managed almost all of our office work, classes, markets online. And if there is any such epidemic in the future, then these online works will be activated again. Moreover, many supplements are being made online now and in the future almost all supplements are planned to be made online at home. As a result, we have no possibility of reducing this screen time. Many may say that they should be used only when needed and should be stopped again when the work is done. But there are very few people who will use these just for work needs. Because when the work is done, everyone wants to spend some time on various social media. And after that, if any movie comes, it will increase even more. So these words are just useless. In that case, our future generations will always have to wear glasses.
It's such a tricky situation with this screen time. If a child is without a screen surely they will be at a disadvantage to their peers who are so tech savvy?
I've taken tablets away from my nieces and nephews before only for them to scream the house down. It's like they are being transported to another world and the shock of coming back terrifies them. Equally when looking after my nieces during a 'screen ban' they were so well behaved and interactive.
thanks for sharing this.. it IS a problem and kids dont have much alternative to stimulate them unless their parents make a lot of effort to show them other more exciting things to dooo.. very tricky situation!
This. Sums up everything.
Meanwhile social and interaction skills are not getting developed along with little or no creative drive. This is troubling to think about. I'm going to sound like a boomer here but when I was younger we didn't have phones and had to do things like play outside, build forts and snow castles. This digital era may create a generation of people who don't care about the outside world?
I totally agree with this..
