Bad Effects of Mobiles on Children:
Academic Performance:
Many students bring their phones to school with them. Chatting with friends or playing games during recesses or even in class is becoming more popular. As a result, children fail to pay attention in class & miss out important lessons.
Medical Issues:
Children, who spend their spare time on mobiles or TVs, do not indulge in physical activity or get enough fresh air. This puts them at risk for obesity and other disorders, which can lead to dangerous diseases including diabetes and hypertension.
