Introduction
Over a period, social media has been a continuously growing
phenomenon in our society. Today, almost all activities are
influenced by social media. The effects of social media on
human being's way of life remains a controversial topic. Some
people believe that social media has been immensely beneficial
to our way of life, while others hold the position that social
media has caused adverse effects on society. Without any doubt,
social media fuels globalization by facilitating communication
and interactions. Every individual can share sentiments,
concerns, or ideas with a large number of people worldwide.
While a more natural connection is an obvious benefit, it is
imperative to sit back and ponder about how social media
affects learning and developmental processes in children.
Children continuously grow from birth to adulthood. During all
these stages of development, the children gather knowledge
from their environment. The children consume experience,
which adversely affects their social, language, intellectual,
emotional, and physical development. Every child follows the
same developmental stages and learning process. The learning
4. process is classified according to the child's developmental
stage. Social media has changed the learning process. Children
are being exposed to information which they cannot effectively
synthesis. Although it is a good thing that children are exposed
to more information, lack of parental control has adverse effects
on learning. Today, children have underdeveloped social skills.
Further, continued exposure to social media results in speech
problems. These are some of the adverse effects of social media
on children's developmental process.
As information is now readily available, children are exposed to
false information. Today, a large number of obesity cases can
be directly attributed to social media. Children at a lower
development stage may be inclined to believe in untrue
information. It is also imperative to consider the effects of
social media on social-emotional growth. The three fundamental
types of learning are affected by social media (observational
learning, classical, and operant conditioning). Children can
learn from social media how to associate certain events. The
children are conditioned by social media, notwithstanding that
the information might be false.
Further, the children observe behavior on social media and end
up copying adverse reactions. Social media is turning out to be
an excellent forum for bullying. Through cyberbullying,
children suffer emotional and social setbacks. Further, social
media can fuel children into indulging in risky behavior.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report, with an
increase in media advertisement of high-fat/sugar foods, the
level of childhood obesity will continue increasing. The
children today have a problem with their eating habits. In most
cases, children are addicted to high-sugar foods. Social media is
recorded as the highest consumer of children's free time. An
average child spends approximately a third of their day on
social media platforms. The other major time consumer is sleep.
A combination of high-sugar foods and lack of physical exercise
is synonymous with obesity — adverts on social media
platforms fuel consumption of such food. There is a need to
5. increase their involvement in physical activities. Children
should be encouraged to embrace dynamic behaviors that
supplement their addiction to media. Children are continuously
exposed to internet advertisements advocating for unhealthy
food. Adverts on social media seek to satisfy hunger on an
emotional angle rather than health needs. The child
developmental process is, therefore, affected immensely.
Although social media benefits children, it is imperative to
carry out an intensive study on the use of social media in
society. In particular, it is crucial to analyze the impacts of
social media on children's developmental stages and learning
process.
