As the technology evolves, children are

also

spending more time with smart phones and other gadgets to watch movies, videos, play games. Some parents are concerned that

However

,

this

can be taken care with parents care and observation. Parents are worried that children have a negative impact with the rising violence level in media and other entertainment activities.

In other words

, when children watch shows or play games with more violence, it may interfere with their thought process. Some children feel nervous by watching crime shows and it can disturb them from their education, while other children start to develop criminal thoughts and think about hurting other people at school or home. One solution to mitigate

problem is to enable safe search mode in internet browsers like Google, YouTube when handing the gadgets to children.

, if children are given the opportunity to use gadgets in safe mode, they can still benefit from using electronics to learn technology, play games for relaxation without having harmful themselves. Another option would be for parents to administer what games or videos kids are watching and talk to them about the impact of watching violent shows.
