Parents who are on the cell phone risk their behavior in their children
What are the consequences when parents are playing mobile games instead of watching their kids build their towers in the sand? They risk serious behavioral problems.
A recent study suggests that this type of parental behavior harms the relationship between parents and children and brings problems in the behavior of children.
Children with insufficient support and parents' attention are growing frustrated and hyperactive, according to a study published by Pediatric Research. They are blazing, they are harsh and have rages of anger, the scientists warned after an ongoing research that was followed by the behavior of 183 pairs of parents and their children aged up to 5 years.
During the six-month period of study, parents reported on their own use of technology and described the behavior of children.
In almost all cases time spent with various devices, even when it was only once a day, stopped quality communication between parents and children. Both mothers and fathers noticed that these breaks influenced the child's behavior and increased their level of stress.
Such situations have widened the reality of life in the 21st century. Parents are used to turning to electronic means to "pause," then for example, American parents spend at least 9 hours a day watching television or surfing on computers, tablets, or smartphones.
If the parents are still dissatisfied with their own family situation or social life, they are more often inclined to digital technology, playing games, etc.
Some parents use a variety of gadgets to take a break from the kids, even when they pray for their attention. The study states that direct contact and communication with the child should be at the center.
Scientists suggest parents to take a certain time in which gadgets will not be used and will be dedicated only to children.
