On average, an American uses the phone 3 hours a day.
1. Children may have problems developing their community
Lack of parental attention not only makes children lack initiative and moodiness, but it actually affects brain development.
Even something as small as texting can have a negative impact in the long run.
2. Children become angry and misbehave
Psychologists say that parents not only set limits on their children’s smartphone use but also on their own.
Lack of attention makes the child feel left out and not interesting enough, so he is not loved.
3. Children do not see their parents as good role models
For many people, a minute of not checking their phone is torture.
Children repeat their parents’ behavior and learn social skills through communication with their parents.
4. Children are hurt because they have to fight for their parents’ attention
Parents love their children unconditionally, but overuse of smartphones makes children feel like they are not important enough and drives them crazy because they have to compete for their parents’ attention.
Children need attention to feel safe and confident because it contributes greatly to their emotional development and helps them communicate with others more easily.
5. Children are passive and distant
The bond between parents and children is extremely strong but not inviolable.
They show sadness and do not pay attention to exploring the surrounding environment when the mother uses the phone.
Children need love and care, that is the responsibility of parents.
