Some children spend a long time each day on their smartphones.
Why is this ? Is this a positive or negative development ?
Some young kids or juveniles spend a long time each day on
their mobile phones. This is because gaming apps and video streaming apps are so entertaining
or engrossing, but this can have negative consequences because they can
distract children from family life.
Minors love using mobile devices because streaming services
have many entertaining videos. This means they have endless opportunities to
enjoy themselves, and they can spend their entire day watching new video shows or playing games, without thinking. For example, many videos on Netflix or Youtubes, are
aimed at children, some of which design their title and thumbnails to entice
children to click on one more video. As
a result, they spend their free time in front of a screen instead of being
outside doing some physical activities, such as bike riding or playing sports.
Despite them being hugely enjoyable for the kids, I believe
that they should be viewed negatively because of the impact it has on time with
parents and other kids. Being around one’s nuclear family teaches children many
important things such as values, manners and how to treat others. If a kid
misses these opportunities, they could
grow up to have impaired social skills and take their values from Youtubers
rather than their parents. For instance, one of the most popular personalities
on Youtube is Logan Paul, who is well known for promoting drug use, gambling
and violence.
In conclusion, videos on mobile may be irresistible to those
under 18. However, parents should restrict screen time as much as possible to
limit the harmful effects influencers can have on their sons or daughters’
upbringing.
