Introduction.

Oh wow, our child is a mobile expert even at this age, we don’t know as many apps as he does. Dude it’s so annoying sleep is getting disturbed put something on mobile and catch it.
Today we hear these words from every home.
The sound of a video game or some English series is heard from every house?

Have you ever wondered where those innocent chatter went?

Smartphones in the Hands of Our Children:

Where are the children who used to be seen jumping with their parents in the parks, and in the streets? Now the anger and stubbornness in these little buds has increased to such an extent that there is no telling when they will explode like a volcano.

Just hold the mobile phone from their hand and you will see the view automatically. There was a time when children were anxious about their guardians.

A glance from the parents was enough.

Smartphones in the Hands of Our Children:

Children used to spend their time in sports after studying, children’s dramas or cartoons on TV, children’s time was already decided.
We remember when we were children, waking up in the morning, reciting, and watching cartoons on TV which were for children and very educational.

After getting ready and leaving for school, the break would have a few minutes to eat and play, which would be enjoyed with friends.
But now the situation has completely changed, now even a one-year-old child is attached to the mobile phone. if the mobile phone is taken from him, he starts crying. a 3-year-old child will tell you such and such features of the mobile phone.

That the intellect is stunned.

Smartphones in the Hands of Our Children:

The use of mobile phones among children has increased so much that parents are now worried, but what is the use now when the birds have gone to the fields?

Children have ended up so dependent on versatile phones that they are presently crabby.

As of now, an assessed 60 percent of children in Pakistan utilize versatile phones between the ages of 10 and 12, and 40 percent are versatile phone proprietors between the ages of 13 and 17.

Think for yourself,

are we preparing our children in our homes or are we preparing them with versatile phones?

This is often the as it were the reason why they ought to meet their guardians when they need If the versatile gives them that time, at that point in such circumstances the child will provide more significance to it and not to their guardians.

Once, by chance, I decided to go to the clinic to visit a friend, and there a family was employing a portable phone to allow the Azan to their child. After you are beginning life like this, what will you be doing going forward? At that point how almost crying?

We have 3 children in our house,

one young lady is 6 a long time ancient. He knows each function of a versatile phone, the second child was 4 a long time ancient, and he moreover knows everything. The third one, which isn’t however a year ancient, is additionally versatile. He is so tanked that in case he is halted, he would begin crying and the other children have gotten to be so inconsiderate that God’s asylum.

If they are not given a versatile phone, they begin yelling, and beating, if one phone is within the hand of the other and not in his hand, at that point a war begins between them.

In case a child becomes dependent on a portable phone as long as he is born, at that point, there’s no one else to fault, it is the guardians, guardians ought to grant them time and look out for their needs.

Grant your child a smartphone when they can Indeed if given, keep a check and adjust on it, and make an app on their portable so that they can check their information that our child isn’t going in any off-base way.

Today’s children are so active that our thinking is left far behind,

Smartphones in the Hands of Our Children:

Parents who feed them with mobile phones in their hands, who think that let’s eat like this, it is a great tragedy of this society. And parents who later worry about their child’s unnecessary tantrums.
We should think first, today we are doing this, and tomorrow we will also have to suffer because what you sow is what you will reap.

Smartphones in the Hands of Our Children:

Conclusion:

The pervasive influence of smartphones on children is not just a family issue; it’s a societal concern that demands collective action. As parents, we must introspect and consider the long-term ramifications of our choices. The path we pave today will shape the landscape of tomorrow.

This is not a small problem nor is it a problem of a single family; it is a shared dilemma that requires a concerted effort to address. The onus lies not just on parents but on policymakers and society as a whole to safeguard the innocence and well-being of our children.
