Technology on
C h i l d r e n
Social skills
With the increased use of technology, children might not be adequately developing their
social skills. This can lead to more childrenbeing socially awkward, withdrawn, shy,or
intimidated by social situations. Theymight not knowhow to engage with otherchildren
or adults. Developing social skills takespractice, and if technology is often in the way,
thereare fewer opportunities for kids to develop theseskills.
Relationships
Children mightget used to being alone and lose the desire to engage with their parents or
even friends, outside of the internet.Often the virtualreality of theirdevices is more
appealing and entertainingthan the physical reality.
Health problems
Technologycan potentially influencethe child’s developing brain and problem-solving
skills. For instance, thechild might be reliant on a device to solve problems for themrather
than using brain connections to workthrougha problem and find a solution. Therecould
also be a lackof exercise due to being inside, which can cause weight gain. If kids use their
devices before bedtime, this could lead to reduced sleep quality, affecting their overall
wellbeing and immunesystem.
Ability to focus
Children who spend a lot of time using devices might have a reduced attention span and
ability to focus due to theirreliance ontechnology to pay attention for them. Thisis
evident inclassrooms, whereteachers areopting for shorter lesson plans to accommodate
students becoming easily distracted.
Dangers of browsing:
With so muchinformation available on the internet, it’s difficult for parents to monitor
what their childrenare exposed to, includinginappropriate content or interactions with
strangers
