Analyzing the Detrimental Effects of Phone-Based Childhood on Children

Phone-based childhood has various detrimental effects on children, including opportunity cost where excessive phone usage replaces crucial activities like reading, hobbies, and socializing. Social deprivation emerges as a significant harm, as children require close friendships for healthy development, which has declined due to excessive phone use. Sleep deprivation is another concern, impacting the developing brain negatively.
