The Web of Mobile: 56% of Children Struggle with Sleep Due to Excessive Screen Time, Leading to Drowsiness in Class and Changes in Behaviour and Speech
Impact on Children’s Brain Neurotransmitters, Facing Challenges in Science and Math
Increasing Attention Problems in Children’s Learning
Excessive mobile usage among children is not only impacting their sleep but also influencing their overall brain function. This extensive screen exposure is leading to changes in children’s behaviour, making them irritable and causing issues with attention, especially in academic subjects like Science and Math. Children are experiencing difficulty concentrating in class, with notable increases in drowsiness and slower cognitive responses.
Studies indicate that screen time interferes with neurotransmitter balance in the brain, directly affecting the focus required for complex subjects. In extreme cases, parents have even sought police help to manage their children’s screen habits. Paediatricians recommend a maximum of two hours of screen exposure daily for children.
