Parents are seated on the dining table for a meal with the child. The child is being fed by the mother as it holds a smart phone in its hand. The child is engrossed in playing on the phone. It is being fed off and on when it feels like eating. Slowly children remain continuously engrossed in the mobile phone. With passage of them they do not understand emotions of others. Incidents of emotional insensitivity occur repeatedly. Due to the smart phone the brain is becoming hard like a stone. So keep your children away from games such as ‘Blue whale’ ‘Pubg’ etc. It is the duty of parents to control them at the appropriate time.
1. How technology can be used is important
Today the craze for ‘Pubg’ is growing in every nook and corner and home. This addiction also leads to different illnesses. Today a two or three year old child is given a cell phone quite easily and is praised for its smartness in using it. Exposing small children to the television for hours and the cellphone too is dangerous. Technology is not bad at all only it should be used appropriately.
2. Neglect in studies due to playing of games on the mobile phone
Life does not move fast as in a movie. Hence parents need to pay minute attention to what their children are doing, seeing etc. The brain becomes numb as the mind is engrossed in the mobile phone. Children are unable to express emotions. Not being able to perceive the emotions of others too is extremely dangerous. Then there is spontaneous neglect in eating, sports and studies. Games such as “Pubg’ and Blue whale’ on the mobile phone are even more dangerous than alcohol and drugs.
3. Counselling and treatment at the appropriate moment is important
‘Parents need to talk and discuss with their children. They are too busy for conversation with children. This is not a generation gap, it is a communication gap. Educating children in schools and colleges and sending them for tuitions does not end responsibility of parents. Find time for them, understand their needs, do not ful fil all their demands as doing this habituates them to continue this behaviour. Failure of a love affair leads to suicide and they do not possess the strength to face it. We are deficient both as society and parents. Treatment at the appropriate time is important to overcome this addiction. At least consult a psychiatrist. Alongside discussion, conversation, understanding their feelings and boosting their confidence all are important. Make them aware that there are other alternatives for recreation. As this is an addiction children require both counselling and treatment .’
