#reflections 12
Yesterday, when I was travelling by bus I saw a young mum with a baby. She was holding phone in front of the child and playing cartoons so it won't make any noise because of being focused on what was going on on the screen. Maybe I'm not an expert but I don't think that raising child with phone instead of toys which can improve it's creativity is a good idea. Many parents nowadays are giving electronic devices to their children and unintentionally make them addicted. Their kids won't learn how to organize time not to be bored and they will find the phone as the one and only form of recreation. This child also won't have as strong relations with parents as kids which are raised other way because it will find using phone more attractive form of spending time than playing with parents. I think that adults do harm to their kids while giving them electronic devices as they make them addicted and deprived of creativity.
Probably the most important harm done here is the way it affects the child's emotional and social development: the relationships with other people do suffer if we focus predominatly on technology from such an early age.
