A comprehensive study by medical and psychiatric experts has warned of the dangers of exposing children to smartphones and digital screens at an early age.

According to research, children who get used to using smartphones at an early age are affected in their ability to remember information and learn new things compared to other children.

The report states that excessive screen use reduces children’s attention span, which negatively affects their school exams and academic performance.

Experts say that the blue light emitted by smartphones seriously affects children’s sleep, which leads to their brain development and memory stagnation.

Medical experts have advised parents to keep children away from smartphones until a certain age and direct their activities towards physical sports and reading books.
