Mobile Legends is a popular game that can be played on any

mobile devices. Over millions of people downloaded and
play this game daily due to its overwhelming fun and
entertaining gameplay. However, gaming addiction can lead
to some health issues as well as speech impediment
especially among young children. In my opinion, I strongly
agree that only children over the age of 7 should be allowed
to use modern gadgets. I would further stress that children
below 7 years old should avoid any usage of such gadgets
until they have properly developed their mental maturity. In
this essay, I would like to focus on the causes (causes of
mental health problems among gadget users below 7 years
old, effects (the effects that it poses) and solutions
(solutions to the issue).

1st point
Firstly, young children often sees their friends as an
example. Seeing how their friends play modern gadgets and
using it to have fun would convince them to want the same
thing as well. This will lead to children below the age of 7 to
cry and plead their parents to buy for them such gadgets.
For example, children begging for parents to buy them the
latest ROG gaming phone. Parents would need to spend up
to RM3,000 just to meet the needs of their young child.
Unfortunately, these children do not understand the
hardship nor the wasteful of money thrown just for them to
copycat their friends’ hobbies. Thus, peer pressure can be
seen as one of the main cause of addiction for children
below the age of 7 to wanting to own a modern gadget.
2nd point
Secondly, modern gadget can have serious mental issue
among young children below the age of 7. The mental
development is very important especially for a young child,
especially between the age of 1 to 7. This is when the brain
will grow very quickly and healthily. But the development
may be blocked when children are too engrossed with
modern gadgets that doesn’t allow them to learn other
important subject. For example, these children do not learn
on being patient nor being respectful because gaming tend
to cause them to rage and trigger anger bursts.

Moreover, modern gadgets forces these young children to

stay at home for most of their time. They lack the exposure
with other children their age hence lack the social
experiences. Thus, mental development are severely
affected when young children are exposed at such an early
age.

3rd paragraph
Lastly, to prevent any further impairment to young
children below the age of 7, more time should be spent
with their families. Families are the true strength for any
individuals, especially for a young children. They need the
care and love of their parents and siblings. With more
interaction and activity among family members, there will
be less time spent on modern gadgets, thus solving the
problem of addiction. For example, families can go on
outings every weekends and bring them to the beach for
outdoor fun. In the end, everyone will be happy when
more time are spent together as a family.

Conclusion
In a nutshell, young children below the age of 7 should
never be allowed to use modern gadgets. Perhaps once
they have grown more matured and older, they can go back
playing
Mobile Legends with their friends.
