What Are Smart Phones?

Smartphones are a class of mobile phones and of multi-purpose mobile computing devices. They are distinguished from feature phones by their stronger hardware capabilities and extensive mobile operating systems, which facilitate wider software, internet (including web browsing over mobile broadband), and multimedia functionality (including music, video, cameras, and gaming), alongside core phone functions such as voice calls and text messaging.

Effects of Mobile Phones on Children Tumours Children that have a tendency to use phones for extended periods of time, keeping them close to their ears, have shown a higher chance of developing nonmalignant tumours, especially in the regions of the ear and the brain.

Disturbed Brain Activity

Academic Performance

Inappropriate Media

Research has shown that by merely talking on the phone for 2 minutes, the electrical activity inside a child’s brain can be changed. This erratic activity can cause problems in mood patterns and have trouble learning new things or focusing properly.

Chatting with friends, playing games, during school breaks or even in the class is increasing day by day. This results in children failing to pay attention in the class and consequently being clueless about studies and examinations.

Kids could come across inappropriate messages, images, or texts, shared by their friends or in the group, and further pass it on to others. .Exchanging images of their own irresponsibly can create a fiasco that can impact their lives for a long time.

WHAT WE DO Avoid giving cell phones to children under the age of 16 Keep your child engaged Restrict the use Set passwords Avoid use while travelling
