Sometimes, Parents sees addiction of a child to tech as nu-seriousness, but the truth is tech has gone wide and can be a very good career. Nevertheless, education is still important.
Bellow are 6 signs to watch-out for if your child is gonna be a tech addict
1. Has replaced his book with Facebook
There
nothing wrong with early exposure of a child to technology. But the
mistake here is that some parents introduce it at a lump sum instead of
gradually. If this is the case, and you observe your child always on
Facebook instead of reading his books, it obvious signs. You should be
concerned with his performance at school declines. It may be time to get
rid of the phone.
2. Social withdrawal
When
your child is meant to be playing with his friends, he’s either alone
playing a computer game or on his phone surfing the internet. He is
oftentimes doing something with technology on his own instead of
building physical relationships. This is a sign that he is becoming a
tech addict. When you notice this, try to encourage your child to take
breaks and play with friends.
3. Complains of boredom
The
question is can a child be bored? If they are not playing with their
friends, they will play on their own! That are children for you. This
doesn’t take away the fact that they can be bored. But if your child
tells you that she is bored especially when she is not with a phone or
playing a video game, it may be a sign. You should teach them how to
engage with technology.
4. Spends too much time with tech
Your
child doesn’t do any other thing than to spend time looking or playing
with their preferred device, it is time you do something. For children,
technology should only be for leisure not to be so attached or addicted
to it.
5. They refuse to answer after several calls
A
child that is addicted to tech will be so carried away that he will be
unable to answer his name. In addition, he throws tantrums because you
disrupt whatever he is doing. This is not good. It is better you get rid
of that gadget before it gets out of hand.
6. Procrastination
Procrastination
is postponing whatever you do for later. Notwithstanding, children
shouldn’t be procrastinating. But with technology all over the place,
procrastination is very rife among children.
