Excessive time spent on video games and social media can have detrimental effects on kids’ health for several reasons. Firstly, prolonged screen time can lead to sedentary behavior, contributing to physical health issues such as obesity and reduced physical fitness. Additionally, excessive gaming and social media use can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to sleep deprivation, which negatively impacts cognitive function and emotional well-being. Moreover, constant exposure to social media may expose kids to cyberbullying, unrealistic body standards, and harmful content, affecting their self-esteem and mental health. Extended periods of screen time can also lead to poor social skills and reduced face-to-face interactions, hindering their ability to develop meaningful relationships. Encouraging a balanced approach to technology usage is essential to safeguard children’s physical, mental, and social health and promote their overall well-being.
