Smartphones have become an important part of daily life for almost everyone. It is difficult to keep away from the baby. So smartphones can be a source of entertainment for them as well as a harmful effect. Although mobile phones help children stay connected and learn new things, having them in their hands can harm their education and health. Let's find out how smartphones are impacting children's education and well-being-

Smartphone

Prevents from studying

Smartphones easily grab anyone's attention. Children don't want to leave all its attractive apps when they get it especially during study time. These distractions may make it challenging for them to concentrate on their academic work.

Parents need to do some things while studying to deal with this problem. For example, parents should stay away from the phone while the child is studying. Then they have to keep the 'Do Not Disturb Mood' on in their phones. Children should also set up rules about the time and apps they use. Keeping the phone away while reading will help improve concentration.

Addiction to online games

It is natural that children will not want to hand over the phone when they get it. Instead, they may spend hours on online gaming, which has the potential to become addictive. This shortens their study time and also disrupts sleep, making it more difficult for them to concentrate in class.

In this case, parents should set playtimes, especially on school days. Introduce kids to offline hobbies, sports and reading to keep them entertained without using a device.

Excessive use of social media

Social media platforms are a major distraction for adults these days. This is also the case with children. This results in hours of scrolling and chatting. This not only wastes reading time but can also affect their mental health, as children may feel pressured to keep up with others' posts or compare themselves to peers.

This is the time for parents to teach children about the negative aspects of social media, such as its effect on self-esteem. Parents should teach their children to take a break from social apps. Children should be reminded that it is not okay to be online all the time. Apps that track and limit social media use can also help kids keep track of their studies.
