As digitalisation rapidly advances, individuals of all ages, including young ones, have become increasingly dependent on their smartphones. Nowadays, kids can spend half of their day scrolling on their digital devices since they are introduced to them at a very young age.
Although
there are some possible advantages, especially for children's educational purposes, in my opinion, Linking Words
this
is a largely negative development.
The digital era has made smartphones an essential part of people’s daily lives as they facilitate communication, work, and entertainment needs. Linking Words
Consequently
, parents tend to introduce digital screens to their kids at a very early age for their convenience. One of the examples is using digital devices to distract toddlers to make the feeding process easier. Linking Words
Moreover
, gadgets can Linking Words
also
be the most convenient solution when adults are too busy or tired to deal with their little ones. As gadgets are already a part of their routines, young people Linking Words
then
develop a habit of always being on their phones.
The usage of phones may be beneficial in terms of learning. The youngsters could learn various skills with wider access to the learning materials online, with the presence of educational websites Linking Words
such
as Coursera or Udemy. Linking Words
However
, the drawbacks of smartphone addiction are more significant. Kids who spend too much time on their screens may have major physical problems, Linking Words
such
as obesity and inadequate development, Linking Words
as a result
of a sedentary lifestyle. Added to Linking Words
this
is the strain on eyesight resulting from excessive use of screens. Research Linking Words

shows that there are possibilities of concentration problems or speech delays affecting toddlers with enormous amounts of screen time.
In conclusion, premature introduction to digital gadgets induces phone addiction in children. Linking Words
Although
there are benefits of smartphones on children's learning journey, the possible risks are more severe. Parents must make a determined effort to control their children’s screen time.Linking Words
