Keep children away from mobile
Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizens. A child is born with a thousand possibilities. Children are growing through numerous possibilities. Gradually a child’s mental and physical development takes place through studies and sports. As a result, latent talent, intelligence, social etiquette, and values are awakened.
But nowadays there is almost no sign of possibilities among children due to abuse of mobile phone. Technology has many benefits but can be harmful if not properly used. In today’s age, a child is born with a mobile phone in hand. For this, he is losing his latent talent and his mother’s compassion. His vision and hearing power is decreasing, as well as he suffers from mental problems. It also causes the degradation of social cohesion, manners, and values.
So, mobile should not be provided to any child before attaining maturity. Keep your child away from mobile.
