Currently in the world it is becoming more normalized to give cell phones to children, I am not

saying that this act is wrong, if it is done responsibly, it obviously will not have a negative
impact, but if we are not careful it can have serious consequences.

The use of cell phones has been fundamental throughout the years and has grown its
importance in daily life, but these devices are recommended to have when one is already a
teenager or adult, not when one is a child, because this can be distracting in all areas, at
school, when doing homework, consequently in the worst case this can have some negative
attitudes against their parents or elders.

One can say that this does not happen in all children and that they are exaggerations, but this
is more normal than it seems, for that reason it is recommended to avoid giving cell phones to
children because if they become obsessed with the cell phone, parents cannot do much more
than punish him, but this is not enough, as a result the only recommended option to help this
kind of behavior is to take him to a psychologist, because with professional help this problem
can be overcome faster.

The professional help is necessary in this type of problem because parents sometimes have no
idea how to deal with their children, but it is not that the child accepts to be treated
immediately by a psychologist, obviously they have to convince him because if he does not do
it for his account, the result will not be the one expected by each of the parts.

In conclusion, the cell phone is one of the best inventions that has been created in humanity,
and is taking more relevance over the years, but this must be used by responsible people and
not by children who have not yet matured, so I recommend not to give a cell phone to a child
to avoid future problems.
