I remember reading news about how some countries banned social media use for children and others banned the use of phones entirely. This matter cannot be ignored anymore; it’s not someone else’s problem, we are noticing the shift in our own homes. As adults, we are responsible for letting children experience childhood in the raw, natural form it should be. I know of a case where a child merely three years of age was gravely affected by phone usage, and another where a child of eight or nine was diagnosed with depression because of social media. This is a serious concern. Children are future leaders, and we are responsible for providing a safe environment for them.
All three matter, but delayed access comes first. You can not teach digital literacy to a brain that is already hooked. Delay creates the developmental window. Boundaries protect it. Education fills it with meaning. The real issue is not screen time, it is what screens are quietly replacing: boredom, play, eye contact, and the slow work of growing up. They are the foundation.
Nowadays, even blackboards in schools have been replaced by digital screens. I believe this was not needed. Schools can use projectors, but should not completely replace the traditional blackboards. Children spend 5 to 6 hours in school, and that time is also not screen-free time.
This is a major concern nowadays, infact parents are responsible for this as many parents use the help of phone to feed there children’s and then childrens get addicted to phone and they want phone for everything. Digital platform should be used for the purpose of education it is the responsibility of parents and school to let children know how to use digital platform for education.
