#children #books #fun #years #reason
Due to the development of technology nowadays, a great number of
children
 tend to spend most of their
time
 using electronic devices which can lead to the decline of the number of those reading
books
 for the purpose of entertainment. In
this
 essay, I will discuss the reasons for
this
 serious issue as well as the way to tackle
this
.
To begin
 with, there are two major reasons for
children
 to use up-to-date devices
instead
 of reading
books
.
First
 and foremost,
parents
 cannot afford enough
time
 to create reading
time
 with their
children
.
In other words
,
parents
 need to work extra hours in order to make ends meet so that they are not patient and have no
time
 enough to choose the
books
 and read to their
children
.
Moreover
, it is clear that a variety of child-oriented channels that can attract
children
's attention are available on social platforms.
For example
, a channel like youtube has a different number of interesting videos for variable age groups. Those videos can definitely overwhelm the
children
 more than
books
 as
books
 are normally more outdated than the clips and films on social websites. On the other that, the group of people, especially
parents
 and teachers are able to help the
children
 read more
books
instead
 of spending their
time
 on social media. The way that the
parents
 help their
children
 is that they have to make sure to give reading moments to their
children
 no matter how busy they are, which means that they at least read bedtime stories to their
children
 every night. As for the teachers, they ought to prioritize the reading hours than giving lectures and taking them to the school library
instead
 of the multimedia classroom. In conclusion, it is undeniable that the updated devices grab the young
children
's attention so much that they are likely to ignore the
books
, their real friends. In my opinion, I suppose that obsession can be cured with the help of people especially teachers and students in their environment.
