Jamshedpur. These days, parents are so busy in their lives that they are not able to pay attention to their children. Earlier, when children were crying or insisting, parents would take them out on the pretext of giving them toys or strolling. But now they give them mobile phones. Children also remain busy with mobile phones for hours. Gradually, this becomes a habit for them.
Later, the situation becomes such that children need mobile phones even while eating or drinking milk. Pediatrician Dr. Subhojit Banerjee told Local 18 that especially children who are between 2 and 12 years old should be kept away from mobile phones as much as possible, because gradually changes start taking place in them and that change then becomes a disease.
You will have to face these 6 problems
1. Vision problems: Looking at mobile screen for a long time can put strain on children’s eyes, which can cause vision related problems.
2. Lack of sleep: Using a mobile phone can have a negative impact on children’s sleep, especially if they are using the phone at bedtime.
3. Mental health: Excessive mobile use can cause anxiety, depression and other mental health issues in children.
4. Physical health: Prolonged mobile use can lead to reduced physical activity, which may lead to obesity and other health problems.
5. Social and behavioral problems: Spending more time on mobile causes children to participate less in social activities and conversations, which can have a negative impact on social and behavioral development.
6. Academic performance: Excessive use of mobile can affect the academic performance of children because mobile can distract them from studies.
Later it becomes a big problem
Initially, parents give mobile phones to their children to keep them entertained and then get busy with their work. After getting the mobile, the children do not disturb them. But, this convenience gradually becomes a habit for the children and then they cannot live without it. Then a war-like situation arises in the house to get rid of this addiction of the children.
keep children busy like this
The doctor said that if you want good health of children, then keep them away from mobile. For good health of children, spend more time with them, make them play outdoor games, show them TV channels like news, discovery, games, general knowledge etc.
