Raising Children Without Technology

 

Living with technology has become an essential part of our lives, and many of us today can't imagine our lives without it. We're so used to it that we don't even try to manage it. It is the same with our children, and they enjoy using it as well.

So, why is it necessary to raise your children without the use of technology? Here we will discuss some critical points that will easily justify my concern.

Brain Development:

A child is born with over 100 billion brain cells, and these cells form trillions of connections during their early childhood. These connections may be harmed if technology is overused. As a result, the intelligence of the child is directly affected.

Affecting Learning: 

Technology allows children to consume more educational content in less time, but it retains less time in their brain; on the other hand, the pen and paper method is slow but effective.

Health Issues: 

Excess use of technology devices like (PCs, mobiles, tablets etc) affects their eyes, ears, and body too because of consuming digital content in the same position.

Less Social: 

Children enjoy consuming digital content (such as watching videos and playing video games) and do not want to explore the real world, making them less social and less confident.

Boredom is difficult to deal with: 

Over time, children become addicted to technology and are unable to think outside of it; as a result, they become bored and depressed because they have nothing to do.

All of these issues are common in today's digital world, but parents can solve them for their children with proper management. Parents can spend time with their children and allow them to explore, imagine, and try new things through activities such as (painting, playing in the park, making new friends, sharing things with children, etc) All you have to do is teach them how to live with technology without being affected by it.
