Some children spend hours everyday on smartphones.Why is this case? Do you think this is a positive or nagative development?

It is said that the youngest people use

smartphones

for many hours daily.

This

is mainly due to their

parents

' busy lifestyle and I believe that

this

is a negative development as it can cause several health problems among

children

. In

this

modern era,many

parents

are busy with their work and they do not spend enough time with their offspring.

Thus

,

children

are alone all day and feel isolated, and to overcome their loneliness they are entwined with

smartphones

.

For instance

, many

parents

give

smartphones

to

toddlers

instead

of playing with them they can do their work. Overusing

smartphones

badly affects

children

's physical and psychological development ,since it develops obesity and some mental illnesses.In another word, a child who spent many hours with a smartphone tends to sit for a long duration per day.In fact, due to

this

sedentary lifestyle,

children

can not burn the extra calories they eat.

This

causes obesity, a health condition which leads to many cardiovascular diseases

such

as myocardial infarction.

In addition

, many

parents

give mobile phones to

toddlers

to watch nursery rhymes and

this

attracts the

toddlers

and they addict to phones.

This

leads to autism which is a common psychological condition among

toddlers

which is caused due to long hours on the screen.

For example

,WHO reported that the main cause of obesity and autism among

children

is due to overuse of

smartphones

. In conclusion, it become a trend to overuse

smartphones

among

children

.

This

is mainly due to the busy lives of the

parents

, and I believe that

this

is a negative development because it becomes a reason for critical health problems among

children

.
