notavailable [color =maroon]Technology has done a lot to make our lives easier and more efficient. Yet as a parent, you ought to be concerned about the impact that devices such as smartphones can have on your child.
At a time when it is becoming commonplace for kids to have their own mobile device, shouldn’t you be worried about what negative impact a smartphone could have on your child’s growth?[/color]
[b]1.They alter the parent-child relationship:-[/b]
[color =maroon]Even while smartphones can be convenient, they alter the bonding that is supposed to exist between a parent and child. The connectivity attached with smartphone use cannot be the same as the genuine connection which the parent and child are meant to have.

These games limit their creativity and imaginations and slow their motor and optical sensory development.[/color] [b]3. It causes them to get less sleep:-[/b] [color =maroon]According to this study, a smartphone in the bedroom can bring about significantly less sleep, later bedtimes, and more fatigue.

It doesn’t give kids the time to reflect or about d consequences of their actions:-[/b] [color =maroon]Imagine a kid having a conversation on a chat site and things go wrong. “I wish you lose your life” is uttered at him.
