It is a known problem that children of all ages and as young as 3 years old spend too much time on electronic devices. Most parents are aware that this can have a tremendous negative impact on the students’ well-being and can even contribute to mental health illnesses. However, on the bright side, children who spend a lot of time on the internet also develop high technology skills. Hence, experts highlight that the key to the issue is not to limit the time spent on the internet but to teach the children how to behave when they are online, which websites to visit which games to play.
