“Children and Gadgets: Time to Take Stock” – A Letter
Published: Thu 9 Nov 2023, 8:52 PM
Dear Children,
The constant battle between parents and their children over habits, particularly those developed with gadgets and games, can lead to unpleasant situations in the home. They are bugged by the need to constantly remind you of house rules, just as you are bugged by their consistent nagging. So why do we create such unhappiness in the house?
The truth is that the discussion surrounding gadgets and gaming habits isn’t just about engaging hobbies. It’s about the amount of time you dedicate to them. If these habits become all-consuming, they can hinder your overall growth and well-being.
It’s easy to get trapped into thinking that gadgets and gaming are the only sources of satisfaction, but there is a world full of exciting activities awaiting outside your screens. Staying cooped up indoors for hours deprives you of outdoor adventures and connections with friends and family. The lack of physical activities and real-world connections can have adverse effects on your overall well-being.
Not only can an over-reliance on gadgets and gaming hinder your personal growth, but it can also impact future opportunities, such as college admissions. Universities are looking for well-rounded individuals with varied interests, not those solely focused on virtual gaming achievements.
The world is full of amusements beyond the gaming fad. It’s time to venture outside of your screens and explore new territories to ensure personal and educational growth.
Until next time, Keep glowing. Keep growing.
