Hello friends, First of all I would like to thank you for making my blogging journey in Candlemonk so refreshing and inspiring.
Today I am come up with a fresh new topic to discuss. The online addiction of the kids during the pandemic has increased manifold . Why this has happened, what can be done to prevent this addiction and many more such details would be discussed now.
Why do we call this an addiction?
At the very first stage this was not an addiction. Parents would give their mobile phones and laptops to their children for some casual time pass. But gradually this time pass became an addiction for the children. They became so much attracted towards these online platforms that they could hardly eat sleep or play ..
Which age group children are a victim of this addiction?
Generally kids from 2 years of age to the teenagers are a victim of this addiction. Kids are given the mobiles and laptops to watch cartoons and other games online. This has created a huge sort of an addiction to them. They cannot talk to their family members properly due to this addiction.
How has the decreased social interaction become a reason for this type of addiction?
At first when parents started giving the mobile and laptops to their kids, they did it for keeping their children busy for sometime, so that they could peacefully complete their work. But little did they know that this would take the shape of an addiction for the kids. At first to keep the naughty children busy, the parents wanted to stop their mouth with a gadget, but this has taken such a serious shape that the kids don't like to communicate also. The social interaction has also decreased due to pandemic. So the children are a victim of the situation.
How lack of games and sports is responsible for this addiction?
Due to pandemic the children could not go out and play with their friends . This made them stick to the online gadgets so much that it became an addiction. Now they do not want to go out and play anymore. They do not like to talk to their friends or family. These children are becoming very very unsocial with each passing days.
What can be done to prevent this issue?
The best solution for this issue is to set a time limit for the children for mobile or laptop usage. There has to be strict routine set up for the children, where they have to study, do at least some household activity, play, talk to the family members, communicate their problems to their friends and family. So there has to be a timetable made for every important activity in life. Children has to express their feelings and difficulties to their parents. They should also be inspired to socialize not only virtually but also by presence.
