1. Plants
Now, we do not mean to scare you with this information, but it is good to know that research raises the potential dangers of plants to those who use cell phones in excess. There is limited evidence that plants can be caused by radiation, but as a parent, you may want to limit the time your children use phones to avoid any potential dangers.
2. Affects Brain Function
Studies show that the human brain is sensitive to electrical activity; However, further studies are needed to prove that radiation can interfere with brain function. As such, cell phones primarily operate on electrical currents in all forms of communication, even internally, and the brain has its own electrical impulse where the connection is made to the neural network, which may affect the brain. However, as mentioned earlier, further research needs to be done to confirm that radiation affects brain function.
3. Education Performance
Many children take their phones with them to school. Conversing with friends or playing games during breaks, or even in class, increases with each passing day. This results in children failing to pay attention in class, missing important lessons, and as a result, becoming less aware of lessons and tests.
4. Academic Misconduct
Cell phones not only distract children from their lessons but also serve as a tool for misconduct to get them through tests successfully. Using a built-in test calculator where it is not allowed, storing pictures or reference information to cheat on a test, or even exchanging answers with other students during a conversation during exams, has been widely recognized in various schools. Such behavior not only affects academic performance but also results in the issue of personality.
5. Bad Media
Like any other gadget, the mobile phone is also a tool and can be used for the wrong purposes. Children may encounter inappropriate messages, photos, or texts shared with their friends or group, and continue to pass them on to others. They can find a way to look at bad movies at an early age, changing their attitudes and thinking process. Even exchanging photos of them can, in a sense, create a fiasco that touches their lives for a long time.
6. Sleep disorders
Children may stay up late talking to friends, playing games, or surfing the Internet, which in turn causes fatigue and discomfort. It also disrupts learning health, as children sleep too much to be able to concentrate on what is being taught at school. Therefore, it has a domino effect that permeates all stages of their lives.
7. Health Problems
As children cling to their cell phones in their spare time, they do not engage in physical activity and get fresh air. This puts them at risk for obesity and other diseases that can eventually lead to serious illnesses such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
8. Mental Health
Children on social networks may be exposed to cyberbullying and harassment. Many children who have been bullied online can only admit their knowledge later in life when the damage done to the brain has already occurred. Social media can also cause stress and anxiety when children are not given the online attention they expect
