True Worth Media

“This year you asked, “What does [insert recipient’s name here] want for Christmas?”

If you’re familiar with most children, they most likely spoke of a gadget or electronic device. If they’re into any sort of video game they may have asked for some type of gift card that gets them points or gold and allows them to buy things in the game that gives them special abilities or items that help them advance in the game.

If you’re anything like me, your heart sinks a little bit depending on their age.  Kids are getting younger and younger and interacting with electronics more and more.

The Issues with Electronics

Smartphones tend to be the culprit here but anything with a screen is a easy, go-to distraction for children.

According to a popular parenting website there are number of things electronics cause in children where use of screen distraction is excessive.

Though more studies need to be done to definitively determine the severity or safety of some of the means technology uses to function as it relates to the physical dangers of the devices themselves, True Worth Media believes the messages they can be exposed to are dangerous as well. We’re talking about more than just inappropriate content although that is certainly a serious concern.  The screen time issue can interrupt academics, regardless of age. Mental health can become an issue if any type of cyberbullying is encountered in any social media children are allowed to engage in, or end up engaging in because they are unmonitored. At a minimum, there is a risk of the interruption of basic and vital sleep patterns children need.
