The Positive and Negative Impacts of Gadgets for Children

Do you know if you give screen time to the children it will have a positive and negative impact on them? For some people gadgets are positive. Other people think it is negative. Actually it depends on the frequency that they have. And it also depends on how old your child is. The doctor will recommend you to not give your child screen time. Because it will delay their speech. 

According to AACAP, the maximum time is only one to two hours per day. From my experience my little brother who is 4 years old. They can learn from the songs such as abc, number, body parts and many more. They can learn about attitude or their daily activity. Besides the positives there are also the negatives. The negative impact of gadgets for babies especially under 4 years old is they will experience speech delay. 

Based on AACAP, avoid screen time for kids because if their screen time is too long, they will not focus and they don't want to interact with other people such as their parents or their siblings. They will live in their own imagination. If their screen time is too long they will use glasses from an early age. If you often give your child screen time they will be addicted to the phone. So when you are going to give your child especially under 4 years old screen time, it is recommended not to give it too often. According to AACAP, limit routine screen time to about one hour or less per day. Why do we have to limit screen time? As to brain development, screen time may negatively affect brain development, eye movement and the ability to focus. (AL)
