Side Effects Of Mobile Phones On A Child

Mobile phones can be good and bad in a child's life depending on how he approaches its use, but the abuse of them can have a lot of negative impact on a child's life.

In this article, we will be looking at the side effect a mobile phone can pose in the life of children.

Let's begin;

1. Brain effect;

The overexposure of mobile phones to children can affect their brain activities, especially their learning abilities. This is caused mainly by the radio waves coming from the phone.

There have also been some reports that radio waves also cause behavior problems in kids with time.

2. Bad behaviors;

There are numerous reports that mobile phones can also make children develop some bad habits, with most of the complaints coming in from parents claiming they've noticed that their children use the phone to send inappropriate text messages and even go to the extent of taking inappropriate pictures to send to their friends.

3. Bad performance at school;

Many children who own mobile phones carry them to school, and instead of concentrating on their studies, most of them will be on the phone texting their friends, playing video games, and so forth.

This, in the long run, ends up having a lot of negative effects on the child's academics, making them fail their exams.

4. Sleep disruption;

Another side effect of mobile phone for children is that it disturbs their sleep patterns; this is because instead of going to bed, most will be on their phones playing games or texting.

Since they go to sleep late, they wake up very tired, and this affects their academic performance too, because they will not be able to concentrate in school.

5. Inappropriate exposure;

The mobile phone, as stated earlier, can be used for good as well as for bad purposes. It is very easy for children to get access to inappropriate things on the internet and share them with their friends.

Pornography is at the top of the list if it comes to the exposure to inappropriate exposure on the internet, with some also being exposed to drugs, violence, and so on.
