HARMFUL EFFECTS OF MOBILE PHONES ON CHILDREN


Save Children from the harmful effects of Mobile Phones. 
Do you let the youngest members of your house use your Mobile Phone? Does your child spend long hours talking on the Mobile Phone? Do you think it is harmless to give the Mobile Phone to your child? If yes, then you may have to think twice before doing so. Almost 9 out of 10 children in the India now have a Mobile Phone. While they can be beneficial in helping children stay in touch with worried parents, the health argument isn’t so clear-cut. Mobile Phones are psychologically addictive. Unless we get control of the screens which now absorb so much of our kids’ time, it will have harmful effects on your kids.When the mobile phone becomes not just an essential item for communication but instead something that takes control of a child’s life, parents have a right to be worriedMany parents are concerned about the harmful effects of Mobile Phone on children.The possible health hazards of mobile phones for children are as follows:
1. Health Hazard: 
Today’s children are growing up in a radio-frequency environment that never existed in human history before. The radiation emitted by Mobile Phone can have adverse effects on children. Children absorb more than 60 percent of the radiation into the brain than adults. Their brain’s thinner skin, tissues, and bones allow them to absorb the radiation twice than the grown-ups.
2. Inappropriate Behavior:
Use of Mobile Phone can lead children to engage in inappropriate behaviors. Texting and sending inappropriate pictures is a growing problem with teens. The images go in the wrong hands, giving others access to the private photos. Children can also access pornographic sites from their multimedia devices.
3. Effect on Academics and Hobbies:
Children, just like the teens, are addicted to mobile phones. They play games, chat and talk to their friends on their mobile phone all the time. The effect of the Mobile Phone on children’s academic can be very noticeable. Children reduce the time spent on homework. Exam results get suffer due to poor preparation or fatigue from using their Mobile Phone well into the night. Even hobbies which were once loved might no longer be considered worth pursuing.
4. Effects On The Brain:
Scientists have discovered that just 2 minutes of the phone call can alter the electoral activity of the kid’s brain for up to an hour. The radio waves from the mobile penetrate deep into the brain, not just around the ear. It could even affect their mood and ability to learn in the classroom if they have used the phone during the break time.
The Safety For Kids:
  • Do not give Mobile Phone if your child is under 16 years. A child’s brain is too sensitive to withstand the effects of mobile radiation.
  • Do not let your child hold a Mobile Phone directly up to his head.
  • Do not let your child make calls in buses, trains, cars, and elevators. The mobile phone works harder to get the signal out through the metal, which increases the power level.
  • Do not let your child use Mobile Phone when the signal is weak. It will increase the power to the maximum, as the phone attempts to connect to a new relay antenna.
  • Limit the use of Mobile phones around children.
  • Make sure that there is no mobile phone mast or network tower near your home or your kid’s school.
  • Do not let children take mobile phones to school.
  • Do not leave mobile phones in your children’s bedroom at night.
