In today's time, the same complaint of all the parents and the same disease of all the children is the excessive use of social media and mobile phones and the diseases caused by them. Let us know some questions and answers about saving your children from social media addiction.
1 Why is social media addiction more challenging for students?
During adolescence, significant changes occur in physical, emotional, moral, social and other domains (hormones). When youth go through these transitions or changes along with the pressure of making a career, some youth become stressed. So some youth lean towards drugs and crime. Due to all this, mental health related problems like anxiety, depression and drug related problems etc. arise which have adverse effects on the body.
Cyber addiction is an emerging problem among students. Addiction to online gaming among students, following criminals on social media and increasing figures of juvenile crimes related to these indicate the seriousness of the situation.
2 How can parents help their children overcome their social media addiction?
Parents should set time limits for digital gadgets. Keep an eye on the subject matter while studying online and keep parental lock. Make equal use of books and other courses in offline courses. After studies, spend time with children and do not leave them alone with digital gadgets. Stay in touch with their teachers. Children learn by watching, so parents should control their own screen time.
3 Is it possible to solve social media addiction?
Keeping all these problems of social media in mind, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIHMS), Bangalore, started a clinic. It is an internet addiction center, providing counseling to social media/internet addicts to replace excessive technology use with healthy activities. If there is a need to seek medical advice, then this problem can be solved with the help of a trained doctor or counselor.
4 Schools and classrooms should be closed.
The use of social media and mobile phones should be banned in schools and classrooms. Also, all these should be confined to coaching and other educational institutions. This will maintain the mental health of children, the neurons of the brain will be able to function properly and the eyes will also not become weak. Parents should also be a little strict with their children in this matter and forbid them from taking mobile phones with them. Along with this, parents should neither keep nor use mobile phones near their children while they are studying, as this may distract them.
5 Show videos to make children aware.
When children watch videos on mobile, try to show them cartoon videos on the ill effects of social media and advise them to watch videos to avoid fraud on social media. Try to distance yourself from social media.
Apart from all this, before giving mobile phones to children, parents should set secret passwords on their work applications and explain to children not to play paid games and you should also keep this in mind.
Social media can have positive effects on your child, like helping them learn how to communicate with others, how to handle relationships, and how to handle someone who isn't kind to them.
