Mobile addiction is dangerous for children, doctors says

Excessive mobile phone usage among children is gradually turning into an addiction, severely affecting their physical health, mental well-being, studies, and daily routine, doctors warn. Medical experts say prolonged screen time is leading to issues such as “text neck,” eye strain, and sleep disorders.

Doctors explain that late-night mobile use reduces the production of the sleep hormone melatonin, resulting in insomnia, fatigue, and irritability. Lack of physical activity due to prolonged screen time also increases the risk of obesity and lifestyle diseases like diabetes.

To overcome mobile addiction, a doctors advise parents to communicate openly with their children about its harmful effects. Setting time limits for mobile usage, encouraging outdoor play, reading, and family activities can help reduce screen dependency. Doctors also stress that parents should lead by example and gradually guide children toward a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
