Un llamado a los padres [ESP-ENG]
If we go into any restaurant we are likely to see a whole family eating quietly and the little ones, eating their food without taking their eyes off the tablet or cell phone.
It is a scene that would have been unthinkable years ago and that causes a reaction you will find. On the one hand, some observe with happiness how children do not bother and how they are entertained with perhaps an educational series; others with astonishment see in that same place children who do not interact with anyone, always stimulated by a screen, since they do not know how to entertain themselves without pixels.
Both reactions are equally valuable, each has its pros and cons. He considered that technology cannot and should not be stopped, in many aspects it is beneficial, but its use should be reduced to the youngest members of the household, as it can cause physical and mental damage in the medium and long term, especially to people who are in the midst of development.
It is worrying how they are given the cell phone as a soothing object, so they do not create a self-control mechanism, besides the consequences of giving them screens are: obesity, myopia, impulsivity, language disorders, attention problems, anxiety, addiction, among many others. Screens produce fascination, there are too many risks and violence to which they are exposed.
It is difficult but not impossible, we have to take into account that we can not compare with what many of us live, now everything is technology and it is not about judging, but creating awareness of the problem we have and the risk that our children run.
I know that many do not have the time, but it is important to be available since fewer screens mean more adult presence, but that is why we are there to guide them and be with them in their development. Which side are you on?
