Today's generation of kids are the gen-next kids. They are more intelligent, knowledgeable and know lot of things before their age. I could really see that they become mature at a very early age as compared to our days.
The impact of the internet, smart phones and television is the reason that children are becoming so over smart at such an early age. Everything that they want to know is available at a click of the button. I could see that the children at a very early age having access to laptops, mobiles, internet. But parents have to be very careful as internet is like an ocean of information which can be both good and bad. The impact of accessing to something which is not good for them can be harmful.
Nowadays children at an age of 2 years itself can access the smartphone themselves and watch thier favourite game or videos. We as a parent feel very proud to say that my kid is so smart, he can operate the mobile by himself and such a young age. But what is the impact of this on the kid.. have you ever thought of this. The worst impact is that the kid gets so addicted to the mobile because he finds it very attractive. I have seen kids who just eats, sleep and play only if they are given the mobile. This is not good for them, as they will never learn to play with the real toys.
Using internet is good for kids. They learn lot of new things, get help for their projects, improve thier knowledge, basically have answers to all their questions. But it is very important that the parents should keep a watch on what thier kids are accessing using internet. If unknowingly the kid accesses something which is not good for him, it can impact him very badly.
I know a case, where a kid in standard 5th or 6th unknowingly accessed the adult content website and out of curiosity he just browsed the website. Suddenly his parents saw a change in his behaviour. He stopped talking to his friends and remained quiet in the class and at home. When his parents had some doubt, they just checked his computer and were shocked to see the content on his laptop. It had impacted the kid so much that he not able to be himself in the public. At least with the help of some counseling, the kid became normal.
We don't want this to happen to our kids. Hence it is very important to keep a watch on what our kids are accessing on the smartphones, laptops, using internet or watching television. The kids are like a wet clay, they can be molded the way we want. So it our duty as parents to take care to ensure that our kids are introduced to the right information at a right time. Also one has to take care that gadgets are good, but the kids should become addicted to them as it can impact their childhood in a wrong way.
