Psychologist Andrey Kurpatov revealed the whole truth about the influence of smartphones on the intellectual development of children.
The expert confirmed the suspicions that gadgets have a negative impact on the child.
Modern children master smartphones even before they learn to read and write. But there is little benefit from this, Kurpatov believes.
An experienced psychologist said in his Telegram channel that gadgets in the hands of children become the cause of functional illiteracy and pedagogical neglect.
They also develop attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity.
Some parents console themselves that these problems will go away with age. But the psychologist warned that this is not the case.
It is impossible to “outgrow” the problems caused by excessive smartphone use.
Behind the listed consequences are hidden serious things that can ruin a child’s life in adulthood.
The expert pointed out that it is more difficult for such people to understand the meaning of the texts they read; they do not know how to correctly express thoughts and feelings.
They find it difficult to concentrate on solving a specific task; they suffer from excessive excitability and impulsiveness.
“The result is a decrease in intelligence, difficulties with perceiving information and problems with social adaptation,” Kurpatov shared.
The specialist added that scientists have already proven more than once that uncontrolled use of gadgets harms a child’s developing brain.
The psychologist explained that bright cartoons, an endless series of short videos and games create a more exciting and colorful world. The child thinks that the virtual space is more interesting than in reality.
Harm is also done to physical health. A smartphone is inseparably linked with a sedentary lifestyle.
