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

Widespread technology has changed everyone's daily routine in various ways. Nowadays,

smartphones

have been a crucial part of people including

children

's lives. There might be several reasons that indicate why the young generation spends some hours on their

phones

daily.

Also

,

this

attitude toward mobile

phones

might have some consequences. There are different factors which motivate youngsters to spend so much

time

surfing the net or just being on their

phones

.

Firstly

, nowadays, parents are in a rush most of the

time

and they cannot make

time

for their beloved

children

. So, they try to fill

this

gap and entertain their kids with their

smartphones

to not hear their naggings.

Secondly

, there are actually millions of interesting options in

smartphones

that can entertain you for several hours,

for instance

, games, cartoons, movies, songs etc.

Children

are amazed by

this

opportunity and don'

t

show the tendency to replace it with any other activity. And

thirdly

, the new generation doesn'

t

have enough hobbies. Some offspring's worlds are

negative or positive in various situations, but in my opinion, its negativity outweighs its positivity for several reasons. The most vital reason for

this

statement is the lack of physical movement

as a result

of spending

time

on

smartphones

.

Children

tend to sit still more than in previous decades and it can affect the normal process of their growth. It can

also

lead to obesity which has been proven by scientists to be concerning in the future.

For example

,

children

prefer to watch a football match on their

phones

instead

of playing football with their friends in the yard these days.

Last

but not least, lack of real communication in

children

as a result

of focusing on their

smartphones

only can lead to unsociable juveniles.

As a result

of the

phone

being at the centre of attention,

children

don'

t

make real friends and don'

t

have real interactions with other people, so they won'

t

be able to improve the tactics of beneficial communication. To give a clear example, they may not be able to start a conversation when needed and won'

t

be able to meet their social needs. In conclusion, the widespread of technology specifically

smartphones

has caused so many troubles in the growth process of kids which must be prevented by parents.

For instance

, they can set some boundaries about

children

's screen

time

and get the

phone

back at that prefixed hour.

This

way they have limitations in hours of using their

phones

and may be forced to find something more advantageous to do during their day.
