Some juveniles spend a long time each day on their mobile phones. This is because video streaming apps are so engrossing, but this can have negative consequences because they can distract children from family life.
Minors love using mobile devices because streaming services have many interacting videos. This means they have endless opportunities to enjoy themselves, and they spend their entire day consuming new shows without thinking. For example, many videos on Netflix are aimed at children, some of which design their title and thumbnails to entice or attract children to click on one more video. As a result, they spent their free time in front of a screen instead of being outside doing physical activities, such as bike riding or playing sports.
Despite them being highly enjoyable for the child, this essay believes they should be viewed negatively because of the impact it has on time with parents and siblings. Because being around your family teaches you values, manners and how to treat others. If a child misses these opportunities, they could grow up to have impaired social skills and take their values from Youtubers, rather than their mother and father. For instance, one of the most popular personalities on Youtube, is Logan Paul, who is well-known for promoting drug use, gambling and violence.
In conclusion, videos on mobiles may be irresistible to those under 18. However, parent should restrict screen time as much as possible to limit the harmful effect influencers can have on their son’s or daughter’s upbringing.
