Some parents allow their children to play on electronic devices such as computers and smartphones as they think it is important for the learning of technological skills. Other parents prohibit their children from using these electronic devices. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

In some cases, parents permit their

children

Use synonyms

to play on gadgets

such

as laptops or smartphones, because they believe that they play a vital role in developing their technological abilities.

On the contrary

Linking Words

, others strictly restrict their kids from utilizing them in any given context. Whilst giving young kids exposure to technology can help equip them with

skills

that can become handy in the future, I strongly believe that the mental issues and impacts on the social life of

children

Use synonyms

, that derive from using them, are both very detrimental consequences that justify

such

Linking Words

restrictions. Advocates for propagating toddlers to use our modern-day innovations might argue that

this

Linking Words

will develop, improve and even enlarge their knowledge regarding certain digital applications as they will be able to familiarise themselves with the different functions of

such

Linking Words

platforms. The majority of applications nowadays have been designed to be user-friendly for different demographics, including

children

.

Therefore

Linking Words

, in the majority of cases,

children

Use synonyms

will be able to teach themselves different

skills

Use synonyms

, which they sometimes might do without even knowing.

For instance

Linking Words

,

children

Use synonyms

might find themselves learning about how to play Chess or watching videos about current affairs, which will help with developing their critical thinking

skills

Use synonyms

alongside their abilities to analyse various arguments.

This

Linking Words

is why it is unsurprising that parents, who might recognise

such

vast advantages, will persistently encourage their

children

Use synonyms

to do so as

this

will equip

children

with

skills

which will help them in their future prospects

as at schools, university, or even in a work environment!

However

Linking Words

, I would argue that a strict limit should be put into place by the elderly in their respective families as social media platforms accessed by digital applications, have been proven to exacerbate the mental health of the youth.

This

Linking Words

is already done by some family members by limiting the

time

Use synonyms

children

spent

Wrong verb form

spend

show examples

on their mobile phones through a 'Screen

Time

' option on certain phones. It is hard to deny that social networks, which can be accessed easily through mobile phones whilst infants play games, enable

children

Use synonyms

to compare themselves to famous influencers or online celebrities of a similar age because they tend to be really active on

such

Linking Words

platforms if they have a large online audience.

As a consequence

Linking Words

, if

children

Use synonyms

are exposed to

such

Linking Words

information,

this

Linking Words

will lower their self-esteem

as well as

Linking Words

their confidence, especially if the

time

Use synonyms

they spend online is long.

Secondly

Linking Words

, studies have proven that there is a direct correlation between the period spent staring at a screen and an increase in social exclusion. The internet drastically decreases the ability of

children

Use synonyms

to spend

time

Use synonyms

outside with their peers, encouraging

therefore

Linking Words

less physical interactions with the outside world.

Consequently

Linking Words

,

this

Linking Words

not only helps spread growing resentment of

children

Use synonyms

spending excessive

time

Use synonyms

on the web from parents but

also

negatively impacts their ability to create, experience

as well as

Linking Words

enjoy new and picturesque memories outside of the internet. In conclusion, certain adults might believe that not setting a rule to the quantity of

time

Use synonyms

that their

children

Use synonyms

spend connected can improve their digital awareness.

By contrast

Linking Words

, I strongly disagree with

this

Linking Words

perception despite the argued benefit, since

this

Linking Words

has long-term and large-scale impacts on the mental state of

children

as well as

their ability to interact in person with the outside world.
