Band 6

Some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this the case? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

#children #hours #smartphones #case #development
Nowadays, an enormous number of
children
 under 16th have their own smartphones and their
parents
 do not have any idea about what their
children
 do. I believe that the child should not have a mobile phone without observation until he reaches his 16th. On one hand, some
parents
 let their offspring use smartphones to be quiet and let them finish their housework or their tasks. It makes a big gap between the child and his
parents
 because he finds everything he wants on the phone, not in his normal life, which makes teenagers do wrong habits and the
parents
 discover that their boy smokes suddenly and punish him, while they are the main reason of that.
Therefore
, letting the phone to small boys and girls without observation is a big mistake and leads to dangerous consequences that can affect the health of the boys and girls and their relationship with their fathers and mothers.
On the other hand
, some
people
 give phones to their
children
 and know what they are doing exactly with them, talk with them about morals, and give them their needed support and love. By that, the
children
 will grow in a healthy habitat filled with love which will not make them curious about trying what bad
people
 do outside.
In addition
, there are many beneficial websites can
children
 use to search for something or improve their hard and soft skills.
Consequently
, good
parents
 can follow their
children
 into these applications and websites to be good
people
 in the future. To sum up, technology develops fast and tries to make life easier for humankind and it is a good development.
In contrast
, some
people
 do not know how to benefit from that development which makes them waste their time on silly things,
children
 are not aware of everything so they watch what seems colourful and beautiful which may contain offensive or violent scenes. I have the belief of let the
children
 use their phones and be monitored by
parents
 to make sure that they do not do anything incorrectly.
