gadget. But does having gadgets at a very young age affect the child's learning capability and behavior?

Children are spending too much time on smart devices and it isn’t just concerning parents any

more – it is also starting to bother scientists and governments across the world and are now taking an

active interest in the effects of this behavior.

One of the main reasons of excessive use of technology in children is that all these devices are

mesmerizing and in start, parents let their children use these devices so that there would be something

to distract the kids and they’d be able to work in peace. But after some time, children became addictive

to these devices. One of the reasons is that parents themselves are always busy in using electronic

devices of their own which hinders them from spending enough time with their children. Which is why

parents should spend more time with their children and they should also limit the time to no longer

than 1 or 2 hours that their kids spend on such devices rather simply telling their children the benefits of

playing sports and doing other outdoor activities.
