I believe that while there are disadvantages to using technology, there are also numerous advantages. The problem is that we have given them mobile phones etc. but have not taught them how to use them. Some parents don't know and those who do don't pay much attention to what the child is doing on the mobile. When the water passes over the head, they are worried, but by then he would have become addicted to this drug. Remember, the solution is not that simple. First of all, parents should give time to their children, communicate with them, understand their mood, keep an eye on the mobile usage, what the child is looking at, what direction the child is inclined towards, and how this content is affecting the child's psychology, keep all this information.
In the current era, it is not appropriate to stay away from technology. I would say let kids use mobile but monitor its usage, set time and give mobile to child for that specific time, show best content and tell positive things for usage. If you try hard to prevent it, the child will suffer from inferiority complex, more desire or demand will increase in his heart. If you give him a mobile yourself, then the child does not have any kind of hunger. Try to keep very young children away from it as much as possible and let them watch content as needed as they get older. Personally, I am often asked by children in class:
Sir! Do you watch Tik Tok?
Sir! Do you have an Instagram account?
Sir! Do you use Snapchat too?
So this is what I tell them, teachers are also human beings with hearts in their chests, they also want to enjoy their free time and stay connected to the world in their daily routine. When it comes to using my mobile phone, I make papers, prepare notes, prepare lectures, watch funny clips, listen to podcasts on various topics, sometimes watch cartoons if I have the heart of childhood. I take, I keep an eye on the political scenario, I am familiar with the current situation, I also play games if I have more time, I get updates from the world, I write articles, I design graphics posts, etc.
Now you tell me what you would have done, then their answer would have been, Sir, we just play games, watch Tik Tok, reels and YouTube shots. So they are made to understand that its use is not only for frivolous work, it can do many positive things, earning, doing educational work, increasing religious knowledge. The problem is not the use of the mobile phone, but the negative use, if you succeed in bringing it to a positive use, then your doubts will disappear. Of course, this is a big challenge, difficult but not impossible.
