You can often hear parents talking with admiration about how their little child is reaching for a gadget or is already able to use it.

But parents often have no idea how digitalization affects a child's psyche. And there is no reason to be happy.

Foreign doctors point out that modern children master gadgets even before they start walking.

What is the danger?

The problem is that it will not be easy to get rid of an addiction formed at an early age.

According to neurologists, they observe real withdrawal symptoms in children in such situations.

Therefore, the conclusion is simple: early use of gadgets has a negative impact on the development of the nervous system.

From a professional point of view, in the immature nervous system of a child, excitation processes prevail over inhibition.

This means that smartphones actively stimulate nervous processes.

Signs

Parents are advised to pay attention to symptoms such as sleep disturbances, eye twitching or tics.

Another sign of a brewing problem is walking on tiptoes.

All these are signs of excitation of the nervous system.

The only way to avoid the consequences or get rid of the addiction is to completely eliminate the gadget from the child’s life.

This period is equally difficult for both parents and children.
