Technology has made man more dependent than ever before.

It has been proven that smartphone addiction affects concentration. Moreover, people who have encountered this problem do not even notice that their gadgets control them, and not the other way around.
Why Smartphone Addiction Develops
Researchers at the University of Chicago explain the development of this type of addiction by the brain's need for dopamine.
But a smartphone does not make a person happy, it only helps him feel that way.
How to help a child
1. Adults can help children get rid of addiction only by personal example. Find something you enjoy doing and let children see that it is possible to be happy without a gadget.
2. Spend more time with children. There are many interesting board games, you can go for walks - on foot or by bike, etc.
