Nearly one in 10 schoolchildren use the first mobile phone by the time they are two, a study suggests. On average, children are given a handset at the age of 11 but nearly one in 10 uses a phone at less than half this age. Many parents have reported that their children(aged 11-14) are obsessed with their smartphone. The mobile phone has to be beside these children at all times, day and night, in case a call or text message comes in. One of the negative effects may be that a child’s self-worth may depend on the number of phone calls and text messages they receive.
Here is a hilarious video portraying what happens when this turns around, that is, when parents get addicted to cell phones as much as we do:
As funny as this video is, we must take away a great message from it – this is probably how annoyed parents feel when children are all the time on their cellphones. Let’s try to bring in better habits to save our eyes, our brain and ourselves from radiation and its adverse effects.
