How Technologies Affect Children’s Development?

Introduction

Nowadays, have you realized that technology has had an impact on the upbringing of children? Yes, in fact, technology is dominating everywhere nowadays. It also affects the development of children.

According to experts, the last 20 years have seen a lot of changes in the way parents raise their children. Nowadays, most parents make these five mistakes, which affect children.

Giving mobile when baby cries

Nowadays, the smartphone is in almost every home and to calm a child, it is the best tool for parents. They offer their children videos or games on mobile that distract the child and calm them down. But did you know that according to the World Health Organization, the blue light of a mobile phone is dangerous for children (less than six months old) and can damage their eyesight? In addition, for children under the age of three, using a mobile phone for more than 60 minutes (daily) leaves many parts of their brain undeveloped.

TV instead of outdoor games

Television also affects the health of children. Nowadays most children are busy watching TV and playing computer games after returning from school. It adversely affects the behavior and psychology of children. Small children need to be physically active, get vitamin D from sunlight, and allow them to play outside.

Distance in relationships between parents and children due to smartphone

Nowadays, after returning from work, most people are busy with social sites, news apps and browsing on their mobiles. At the same time, children are busy with the Internet and videos. Because of this (until teens), there is no such bond between parents and children. Parents should spend 2-3 hours each day with their children. Children should also help their parents with their daily household chores.

Homework

Nowadays, parents think that children need education, so their whole focus is only on good marks / study. It is compulsory to teach children small household chores such as cleaning the house, washing clothes, washing dishes, cooking and fetching essential items from the market. These habits are essential for staying in touch with family.

Value for money

Nowadays the purchasing power of the people has increased significantly (more than ever before) due to which parents are providing an expensive lifestyle for their children. But children do not understand the value of money for a long time. In India nowadays, there is a significant increase in the tendency of children from middle class families to show off. The big reason for this is that parents do not explain the value of money to children. It is important to take care of the well-being of children. But they also need to be taught to struggle. You have to give them a little bit of discomfort and dissatisfaction as well.
