Do not give mobile phones to children under 10 years of age; Advice from a leading smartphone manufacturer

Children's tech savvy makes parents happy and proud of them.

But although it seems simple and good now, mobile usage is actually wasting children's future life. An article titled "Stop Giving Smartphones to Your Kids" is getting a lot of attention right now.

This article talks about future problems for children

This article points to the dangers of giving smartphones to children under the age of 10 and the future problems children may face due to negligence by parents in this regard. It cannot be ruled out that it was written by someone who was anti-mobile. Because Manu Kumar Jain, who is so close to technology, is behind this article.

Manukumar Jain is the former head of smartphone brand Xiaomi in India. In a LinkedIn post, he explained the danger of giving smartphones to young children by sharing statistics. As the former head of a mobile brand is speaking, the subject has gained a lot of attention and many people have a new awareness.

Jain points to the danger of children spending time on smartphones at a young age, citing statistics from a report from Sapien Lab. The figures from the study are truly shocking. Around 60-70 percent of girls who are exposed to smartphones before the age of 10 experience severe mental health problems when they grow up

Youngsters are not completely developed at this point, and they are simply little grown-ups, their developing personalities and bodies make them particularly defenseless against the impacts of the climate around them, including a wide range of radiations produced by cell phones, iPads, tablets, cell phones and any remaining sorts of remote gadgets. In the new period, the kids are presented to innovation at more youthful ages than at any other time. There are various kinds of radiations created by cell phones and remote gadgets, microwave radiations, ionizing and non-ionizing radiations. Ionizing radiations, for example, x-beams, radon, bright beams of daylight all are high recurrence, and high energy. Non-ionizing radiations are low in recurrence and energy. Cells have non-ionizing radiations. Cell phones send radio-recurrence waves from its communicating unit or receiving wire to local cell towers. At the point when we settle on or get a decision, send or get a message, or use information, our telephone getz radio-recurrence waves to its receiving wire from cell towers.

Microwave radiation from mobile phones and other remote gadgets are exceptionally destructive, especially for youngsters and unborn infants. Many explorers have demonstrated that such radiations represent a more serious gamble for substantial harm in kids and unborn children. The pace of microwave radiation retention is higher in kids than grown-ups on the grounds that their cerebrum tissues are more permeable, their skulls are more slender, and their general size is more modest. Embryos are especially more defenseless, in light of the fact that microwave radiation openness can prompt degeneration of the defensive sheath that encompasses the mind neurons.

There are numerous potential well being dangers to mental and actual prosperity connected with abuse of PDAs, particularly low intelligence level and ill-advised mental development in kids, lack of sleep, cerebrum cancers and mental illnesses are controversial problems. Till date, concentrations connected with radiations created by cell phones have been conflicting and results have been clashing. These remote gadgets are presently essential for our regular daily existence, yet they can be utilized in a way that is sufficiently protected. The main point is the distance, holding a wireless device a few inches away from our ear gives multiple times a decrease in risk. Except if a mobile phone is switched off, it is continuously emanating, so when not being used, it ought not be kept on the body. The best spot to keep a cell is some place like a pocket, satchel, pack, or knapsack. These gadgets ought to be avoided in a pregnant lady's mid-region, and a mother shouldn't utilize a PDA while breastfeeding and nursing, and child screens ought not be put in a baby's bunk. Youngsters and teens need to know how to securely utilize cell phones and remote gadgets. Mobile phones ought not be allowed in that frame of mind by any means.

.

Boys are also not immune from this menace. Estimates suggest that 45-50 percent of boys who use smartphones before the age of 10 face similar challenges later in life. Warning against the ill effects of excessive screen time, Jain highlights the responsibility of parents to protect their children's mental health.

Children under 10 should not be encouraged to use smartphones

Parents use their smartphones as medicine to feed their little ones, calm them down, or stop crying. But they do not understand the hidden danger. Parents need to be proactive and careful not to encourage children to use smartphones at least until the age of 10. This does not mean that technology or technology should be avoided.

They are not ready to give up the mobile phone that their parents give them in their hands when they are young, even when they are old enough to play. Children who thus give up playtime instead indulge in mobile games or watch age-inappropriate shows. All this negatively affects their mental health growing up. Jain highlights the importance of early childhood for young children. And Jain points out that it is the duty of parents to give their children the best possible foundation for a bright and healthy future.

He clarified that he is not against using smartphones or tablets, but it should be done in moderation. "These devices have revolutionized our lives and brought great convenience and connectivity. I myself use them a lot. However, caution is essential when giving them to young children," he concluded his post.
