IntroductionWhy is it important to educate children away from electronic devices?
Nowadays, electronic devices such as tablets, smartphones, computers, and video games are present in virtually every home and are used by children of all ages. While these devices can offer many benefits such as entertainment, learning, and communication, overuse can have negative effects on children's health and development.
Parents and educators should be aware of the risks associated with excessive use of electronic devices and should make an effort to educate children away from these devices. This book aims to help parents and educators better understand the effects of electronic devices on children's health and development and to provide strategies and suggestions for educating children away from these devices.
One of the main reasons why it is important to educate children away from electronic devices is the influence that these devices can have on children's physical and mental health. Excessive use of electronic devices can lead to health problems such as childhood obesity, vision and posture problems, insomnia, and behavior problems.
In addition, excessive use of electronic devices can negatively affect children's cognitive, emotional, and social development. Children who spend a lot of time in front of screens may have problems concentrating, lack of social and emotional skills, and language and communication problems.
Another reason why it is important to educate children away from electronic devices is that these devices can harm children's creativity and imagination. Instead of playing and engaging in creative activities, children can get caught up in limited games and activities that don't stimulate imagination and creativity.
Excessive use of electronic devices can negatively affect children's academic performance. Children who spend a lot of time in front of screens may have difficulty concentrating and learning effectively.
Another point to consider is the fact that electronic devices can create a distance between children and their families. Children who spend a lot of time in front of screens may miss the opportunity to interact and connect with their parents and siblings, which can lead to relationship and communication problems.
Importantly, electronic devices are not inherently bad and can offer many benefits to children. However, it is essential that parents and educators are aware of the risks associated with overuse and make an effort to educate children away from these devices.
In this book, we will discuss strategies and suggestions to help parents educate children away from electronic devices, including creating a healthy routine, in addition, we will explore the role of parents and caregivers in promoting activities that encourage creativity, imagination, and social interaction, as well as limiting screen time and establishing clear rules for the use of electronics.
We will also address the consequences of excessive use of electronics in children, including impacts on physical and mental health, as well as school performance and social skills. By the end of this book, we hope that parents and caregivers will feel more confident and prepared to educate their children away from electronic devices, providing a safe and healthy environment for child development.

The Effects of Electronic Devices on Child Health and Development
Electronic devices are increasingly present in our lives and access to them is increasingly easy, both for adults and children. However, many studies have shown that excessive use of electronic devices can have negative impacts on children's health and development. In this chapter, we will explore these effects in greater depth.
Starting with health, excessive use of electronic devices can lead to a number of problems, including vision problems, headaches, neck and back pain, sleep disorders, and obesity problems. Many of these conditions are caused by the sedentary lifestyle that often accompanies prolonged use of electronic devices.
In addition to physical problems, there are also concerns about the impact of electronic devices on children's cognitive and emotional development. A Harvard University study¹ found that excessive use of electronic devices can lead to a decrease in reading time, which can negatively affect language and literacy development. Another study2
