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?
Nowadays,
children
spend most of their day on screens. In my opinion, this
development affects children
in a negative way.
To begin
, children
waste time on their iPads because parents
are not taking care of their kids. Moreover
, while
children
seek attention from their families parents
are busy with work or chores. Giving a child
the needed attention and providing the care that they need are crucial components for raising a mentally and physically healthy child
. Also
, technology can be addictive and appealing for children
therefore
, controlling a child
can be challenging. However
, parents
can do fun and healthy things with their kids such
as baking, riding bikes, and dancing. Finally
, raising a happy and healthy child
depends on the parents
.
smartphones can harm a child
and cause health issues. One of the risks is obesity. For example
, children
who don't perform any kind of activity will suffer from obesity because of the long sitting hours. Another risk is developing bad habits, for instance
, reduced social skills. Children
who develop a social life are smart and healthy whereas
, children
who don't are most likely depressed and sad. In addition
, blurred vision caused by screens is another risk. Furthermore
, the internet is not safe for children
as there are criminals and strangers trying to fraud. To sum up
there are lots of risks associated with technology which are not safe for children
.
In conclusion, I don't believe that children
should be able to waste time on iPads because of the risks and side effects of iPads and smartphones. It is recommended to lower screen time.Submitted by lamahejoury on
