The rapid development of the times we are experiencing, and because of that, in this day and age, almost all parents give cellphones to their children. There are various reasons they have to give cellphones to their children, ranging from so that their children are not fussy to so that their children can play online with their friends, but does this have side effects?Â
Of course, there are side effects brought on by the use of cell phones at an early age. Prolonged cell phone use is associated with an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders in children. In addition, excessive screen time can lead to physical health problems such as eye strain, poor posture, and reduced physical activity.
First of all, the use of cellphones at an early age can cause mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. This is because children's mentality at an early age is not as strong as that of adults or adolescents, and at an early age, children tend to accept all available information without being able to digest what is good or bad first.
The second is that the use of cell phones from an early age can also affect physical health, such as eye strain due to radiation rays produced by the cellphone itself and prolonged use by children at an early age.
The third is bad posture; this can be caused by children who are still growing up unconsciously doing bad posture when using the cell phone, such as bending over or looking up too much.
And the last one is that the use of cell phones from an early age can cause children to lack physical activity, which can reduce their physical fitness.
In conclusion, don't give your child a cell phone unless you really pay attention and correct every detail of what your child does while using the phone.
