In the 21st century, parents tend to blame us for spending to much time on our phone. In fact, parents do not realize how much time the spend on their phones, they try to neglect the fact that they are spending more time on their screens while with their kids and they actually try to use excuses like being tired from working, but statistics have shown that (62%) admitted that they think the amount of time they spend looking at screens rather than spending it with their children is a problem it is going to cause harm for the parents such as physical harm for them like eyes… and mental harm like anxiety, it may also ruin their relationship with the lack of communication between them and it is going to make the child feel unappreciated and unloved by his parents which is going to lead him being depressed, anxious… and this is how technoference affects people . It is the lack of communication due to giving digital devices more attention. In fact, a lot of families tend to suffer from this problem, it takes place when it should not, like during family activities such as meals, playtime and unfortunately bedtime. Technoference can lead to the destruction of the socio-emotional well-being, you can notice it by the behavior of the children such as throwing tantrums and sulking and it causes the child to become lonely and the parents to become more stressed and leading to a none ending circle of withdrawing with technology. -

In our current world, we find many parents addicted to their phones and this negatively affects children.
Parents forget their duties towards their children, so they only sit with them for two hours and forty-one minutes, and nine hours on their smartphones, and some of this time is during family activities, so most of their children try to attract their attention , and this greatly affects the psyche of children. This behavior may lead to throw tantrums or sulk for this child. Also, some of them may feel that they don’t have value and that their parents hate them, and this may cause them to leave the house. In addition to this , The kids can be influenced by their parents and they becaume addected to smartphones , in this case the communication between the familly will be completly cut off .And the worst thing is that those offspring are a future parents , that’s mean the same events will be repeated . Therefore , if we don’t find a quick solution to this dilemma , the whole world will fall victim to phones . As the quote goes : ” your cell phone has already replaced your camera , your calendar and your alarm clock . Don’t let it replace your familly .
Parents always warn their children about spending too long in front of screens , but they forget themselves , so we must , as children , alert our parents and talk with them. Because any problem is solved through dialogue .

SARA KADAOUI says:
We know that children spend as much as three hours a day on gadgets, but parents are found engaged in their smartphones for the even longer duration.
Adults check their smartphones at least 70-80 times a day. That means, approximately 7-8 times in an hour. This addiction can be of various types. It can be an urge to check messages, expecting a call or a message, checking social media posts, or playing a game.
Now those are the horrifying number, aren’t they?
Do you know how dangerously parent’s smartphone addiction can affect the children too? Let’s get to know how Parent’s smartphone addiction affects children behavior.One of the studies says that children develop the negative attitude and are found with less tolerance towards the disturbing situations. Parent’s smartphone addiction can lead children to have less emotional tolerance and lack of interest to get explored to the outside world. It also adversely affects the parent-child relationship.Imagine a situation that your kid has done something great. For example, a great painting that he is proud of. He is excited when he comes back from school and wants to show it to you. But, when he is next to you, you are more interested and busy checking photos on social site. What you think will impact the kid. He will feel unimportant. He constantly will have to compete with your gadgets to divert your attention to his painting. Their feeling of belongingness is decreased because they feel unimportant.-
Great work dear Sara. Every day, you surprise us with some wonderful writings. Your progress is very noticeable. Keep it UP UP!

technoreference, a new phenomenon affecting parents, being addicted to technological devices at the point to ignore their kids. in fact, statistics show that parents became more concentrated on their technological devices than on their offspring. “the average time spent browsing on smartphones was two hours and 17 minutes. On the other hand, screen-free time with kids was reported to be two hours and 41 minutes on average”. therefore, that time spent on their devices affects the time they have to spend with their children. I’d like to emphasize that they have priorities when it comes to raising their kids : providing the children with a good education, prioritising their physical health , set up an environment for a happy childhood, teaching pragmatics skills for future careers…
Basically, meals, playtime, and bedtimes are the most important time of the day when parents are with their children. If they don’t converse with their kids and ignore them since they are more concentrated on their technological devices. as a result, the offspring will feel extremely sad and upset as well as annoyed and angry. they will start to throw tantrums or sulking.
Their “models” are not giving much attention to them because of their phones. therefore, it’ll lead to their greater withdrawal with technology.
To sum up, we can say that parents should pay more attention on that behavior, and try to fix it for the sake of their children.-
Great work dear Zayneb. I am so happy to see your progress. Your essay means a lot.

Ibtihal Amimar says:
In my opinion , the parents who are spending their time on phone , they are doing a dangerous thing because here their kids learn ,and as we know kids just imitate, so when they see their parents are looking at phone they think that is good. Howerver,the parents should try read books, like this they are motivating them also their kids strat love reading , studying and having a beautiful future.

Great effort dear Ibtihal. I hope you can consider the organization of the parag: TS-STS… and punctuation. Nevertheless, happy to see your progress

Nowdays, we discovered many parent’s who are addicted to their phones. Infact,phones and mass media their influence is everywhere. They tell us what to do, what to think, and they tell us to think about ourselves all the time. Moreover, parents who use phones during parent child interactions are less sensitive and irresponsible. In addition to this , a majority of parents very often or occationlly try to cut down the amount of time they spend on devices. However, parents are very protective of their phones, how it’s used, where it’s used and how much it costs. It has become a very personal issue for a whole lot of people in our country. Additionly, they forget that the offspring are the victims, they can be influenced by their parents , and become more addicted to phones. And this can push kids to have a fewer conversations with their parents, and they become more hostile when they try to get their attention. Last but not least, we can say that whoever control the media can controle the mind.

Great job. It reflects the great effort you have been showing this year. I hope this will last for good 🙂

Moumna hala says:
Technoference has become one of the hot topics in the recent decades, creating flurry of media interest. In point of fact, parents are living interruptions in communication by attention paid to personal technological devices. With reference to New York post, parents spent 2 hours and 17 minutes of personal time on their phones per day. Moreover, this alarming issue affects negatively children, because the technoference take place mostly during family activities such as meals, playtime and bedtime. Thus, parents destruct the social emotional being, by lack of communication and empathy. Furthermore, parents kill the children’ curiosity while ignoring their questions. As many statistics showed that 62%of parents admitted to spending too much time on their cell phone rather than kids. Hence, we find a precipitous spike in anxiety, stress and depression by the children of this category. We can clearly notice it by the changes in the child’s behavior who throw tantrums, sulk to attract his parent’s attention. Last but not least, the overwhelming majority of those kids are affected by parents and become addicted to technological devices. In brief, addicted parents must be very concise while spending time on phones and avoid this acts during the family time, because it is the most crucial time in shaping the child’s social-emotional wellbeing.

Mohammed Amine Lemtalsi says:
This days, there are a lot of parents who are hooked to smartphones. In reality, parents should not be addicted to phones and they are a roll model for kids there so that the kids amitate them because they can not be addicted in the future. In comparison, we see a lot of parents spend as much time on the phone as they spend with kids. In addition, parents often neglect kids there and forget that they have the responsability of taking care of their child. We also saw in a video that kids were upset and profoundly sad about their parent’s addiction. We may assume that someone who owns the media can govern the mind.

Amine Nejjari says:
Once a day, you arrive at the park with your kids and encourage them to play. You sit down and pull out your phone. Your children come over and ask you to play chase. You say “in a minute” while scrolling through your social media feed and never go to play with your children. That what means technoference. Maybe most of us have done it, it can be hard not to. But these moments, when devices interrupt interactions, are having harm on children, and family relationships. Probably, it is going to make the child feel underestimated by his parents which leads him to depression and high levels of anxiety. The whole world is suffering from this problem. And what annoyed me, is that the parents blame their kids and don’t see themselves. Actually, they’re appearing more absorbed in their smartphones than the kids, they spent too much time. It is such unfortunate.
-
As we know that social media is double-edged sword. Also, it has a lot of effect not just for kids but also for parents because they become addicted to their phones and computers. In fact, parents give a lot of time for their phones and computers as the statistics sad that parent give 2h 17min to their devices per day and in the other side they give 2h 40min to their kids. In addition to this, kids want to speak to their parents but they don t answer so the children go the corner and they cry and become nervous moreover the parents are an exampel of their kids if they see their parents using phones a lot they will do like thim.
In short, parents tecnoference is a serious and dangerous phenomen we shoulde stope it. -
benaissa douae says:
Teenage smartphone addiction can be a worry for parents, but the reverse is also true. Parents are more likely than teenagers to consider that they spend too much time on their cell phone. and thats so dangerous because Parents who are always glued to their cell phone are more likely to make their own children addicted. having a negative impact on their mental health and academic performance. in addition to this , While the children want to talk or want to share a moment with their parents, they look at the phone and he barely listens to it. therefore ,
The children feel ignored by their parents. who look like robots, staring at a phone all day long, obsessed with a screen. As for me i think that parents should set a good example for their children by avoiding using their phones at the table and during family conversations , also Parents need to realize that it is important to interact with their children. They should talk to them and listen to them calmly every day.-
Great essay Douae. I love the way your share your opinion. Always calm and effective. I am so happy to have you in my class. May God Bless you.

Roa Kajout says:
In this generation, parents are so addicted to their phones more than us . In point of fact , parents think that their kids spend too many hours online , but they might need to look in the mirror before spending their time in front of the screen , they’re unaware about the defects or even the time that they’re spending on their phones . So , they’re actually spending time on the screen more than with their kids ….Parent’s smartphone addiction can lead children not only to have less emotional tolerance but also lack of interest to get explored to the outside world and it can even adversely affects the parent-child relationship and let the child feel unimportant in the family ; Imagine a situation that a kid has done something great and he is so excited when he comes back from school and wants to show it to his parents. But, when he is next to them , they are more interested and busy checking photos on social site. What you think will impact the kid. He will feel unimportant , as the quote goes : ” Putting your phone away and listening to the others next to you , there is an app for that called respect “.

rayan rabhi says:
I see that the method of which parents use it in conversation is full of excuses and very careless because the majority of parents have become very attached to the screen they are addictive on devices that are of no use it is full of rumors and things that waste their time. only you know that the majority of children need tenderness but because of parents who are always busy with their phones. and also you know that the lack of communication between father and child creates a very complicated problem instead of changing ideas i mean parent’s experiences and modern ideas of new generation of kid. kid is trying to get the attention of their father and father and is using the double edged sword in ignoring their son which gives us family problems and the big problem that it is not in the interest neither of the child nor of the parents maybe that the parent swill have mental health problems and on the eyes and child to have stress and feel as if he was devalued like a talking magpie and everyone neglecting it so that’s why when we have to avoid as much as possible the devices and the technology because as a way it is the main cause. let us return to the past, you know that as these problems were very rare because there was no technology and the child has a full education from their childhood , we can say that he lived his childhood but a neglected person are we going to say the same thing? but with trying to let thechnology one thing exceed and try to create a thing which will suspend a word in the dictionary called “THECNOLOGY”. we can say that a child can live in a family whith it’s give to him all their needs.but with the appearance of thechnology life is disturbed and upset and the relationship between parents and sons has really disappeared which apparently helped an applied word “THECHNOFENRENCE” and it means the negative intervention of technology between the relation between the parents.

zerouali ismail says:
the technology development will never stop surprise us ; consequently the technoference attempt more and more all the ages classes specially the age classes of parents in fact statistics proved that 62% admitted that they think the amount of time they spend looking at screens rather than spending it with their children and by children i mean the futur generation so if they aren’t well educated or in need of affection it will influence their futur personality and also our futur society , in addition to that parents are the idole of their own offspring so they will always imitate them that’s why parents should not take their behaviour at home at the second degree they must show their children the good habits .

Thank you Mr Ismail.

Slimani hassana says:
A technoference parent is a hazardous phenomenal ,we found that technology used by parents has negative effects on their child’s action and behaviors and too much time staring at their phone is hurting their kids and we found children that imitate their parents are more likely to develop on technology cause parents are their first example for them . Parents increasingly glued to their phone are the ones who are more likely to neglect their children , the child becomes more stressed and upset they will start to throw tantrums or sulk. As a result , technoference parents is the new drug that is killing an entire , so if don’t want our children to not perish u should review the use of the phone .

Great work Madam,
Please, consider the following spelling mistakes:
a- phenomenon
b- behavior (no s)

OMAR TSOULI says:
No one can deny the 21rst century the it tools colonised in the real sens of the word our houses our society all our world.The overwhelming majority of the high level experts agree that technology has ruined the family connection and love and have created a hinder between the family members. In fact, we are not going to put the blaming finger on kids as always its on the parents. In otherwords the parents with their addiction not give much time to their children wich guide us all the way on the right path to a future generation desaster. You are going to be wondering how this can be possible? Well i got the answer for you, parents now days are stuck in front their screens whatever important issue they are dealing whatever subject they are discussing with their work mates isn’t more crutial as their children attention. Besides, they the responsibility t raise their children in a right way with the basic skills that they must have from their young age such us curiosity: the kids will have meryad of questions but none of of em will be answred so the parents should be aware and get up from this blind and deep sleep.
In brief, the it tools are runing the world so let s kick them out and retake the world s control.-
Happy I am to read whatever you write. Despite your age, the think like a mature guy. Best

Aya el oussaidi says:
Nowadays , parents spend over than 3 hours on their phones, and some of them became addicted till when their children ask them they don’t answer because they are not even listening to them, so this called : parents’ addiction. Parent’s addiction to their phones is a phenomenon that made them ignore their children, and do not pay any attention to them, which made children dissatisfied because of parent’s behaviors with them for example, they neglect them, don’t care about them, don’t give them time to discuss or talk to them so that’s why the children are not liking the situation . In fact, that can be an impact on the child too he can be imprudent and pissed off all the time .

Bravo Aya. Wonderful work. You knock on the BIG door. Keep it up and show your voice.

It is uncontestable that in the 21st century,many parents spend more of their time using their cellphones . In point of fact,they spend more time on their screens while with their children. And that makes these innocent creatures feel that they are unappreciated and without value. What is worst,the statistics have shown that 62% of parents suffer from addiction. They cannot spend time without using technology. Besides, that let them forget to take care of their kids who need attention and love. Moreover, spending most of time on the screens lead parents to lot of obstacles and problems. It breaks up their relationships and fuels anxiety to them. Furthermore,parents usually blame and reproach the kids for staying for a long time in front of the screens unaware that the children imitate them and follow their approach. As the quote goes:” Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word,movement and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater unfluence on a child than the parent.”
Last but not least,parents have to be responsible and spend more of their time listening and discussing with their kids because technoference leads just to darkness.-
Excellent work dear Douae. I hope we hear your voice in our online classes. I know, and your friends know, your English is wonderful. So, show us!

Aymane Alla says:
In our generation, a lot of people specially parents uses modern technological means of communication and ignore their children. In point of fact, a survey of 2000 parents of school-aged children(aged 5-18) founds that half of respondents are asked by their children to put their phones away 62% percent of parents like using their phones while being with their children, added to that, respondents spend 2 hours and 17 minutes using their phones per day, compared with 2 hours and 41 minutes of screen-free time with their children. In addition to that, parents when they ignore their children they make them feel upset, angry, and lack of interest. Finally, parents must occupy some hours to play with their kids, and don’t let technoference take place of their family.

Omnia says:
In our days, We keep on blaming the children for the amount of time he spends on his phone. But, does the parents, self-examine and check the number of hours they spend on it?
-Adults check their smartphones at least 70-80 times a day. That means, approximately 7-8 times in an hour. In fact, Children Develop a negative attitude and less temperament.
One of the studies says Parent’s smartphone addiction can lead children to have less emotional tolerance and lack of interest to get explored to the outside world. It also adversely affects the parent-child relationship. Furthermore, Kids may not listen to the parents but they watch them carefully and imitate them. So they will adopt negative things too that parents do and it is not a healthy way of parenting, It is difficult to say that it’s a problem with the kid, but it’s time that parents also take some responsibility for it.
In brief, children need face-to-face interaction with parents and other adults to build important mental abilities and linguistic skills. With this study, researchers hope to raise awareness and to encourage parents to limit the use of their smartphones during the moments they spend with their families.-
Always present. Thank you Omnia for your great effort. You really deserve all the respect.

Aymane Belfadil says:
No one can deny that also parents are being addicted to the smartphone.But when we want to discuss this problem they start avoiding us. We can’t escape from the truth. And the majority agree that it’s not really a good behavior .In fact, parents are giving more importance to their smartphone and they ignore their children, so this phone just destroy the discussion between them and the most dangerous thing that we start to hear in the media is that we will destroy the socio-emotional well-being of the innocent child.The offspiring will notice that a strange thing come and took his place,so we can’t imagine his reaction if it will guide him to the depression, anxiety,withdrawal and sometimes it can be more serious like suicide.The role of parent just gone.Sometimes parents are addicted even if they know the dire effect of this coin, they are just glued to their smartphone without doing anything and they expect to have a wise child that will not even care about this technologie but just how? We know that a child will follow his parent firstly because they are his idol and secondary he is not conscious about his acts so it’s the onus of the parent. Finally,even the parent the first educator of a child are being addicted to the smartphone so it’s a wake up call for the new generation to change the situation.

Thanks a lot dear leader. I am so happy to teach you and I am sure that your friends are so happy to have you in our classes. Think about it: last year at this moment you were A2.

It is undeniable that parents smarphone addiction has been one of the most crucial issues nowadays . In point of fact , it’s can inflence on the personnality of the kid , he will throw the trums or or sulk , at the same time parents will become lonely and more streesed . In addition to this ,the parents surveyed spent two hours and 17 minutes per day on their phones. That clocks in at just 24 minutes less than the average amount of screenless time they spend with their children each day (parenting news) . In my oppinion the only solution is to replace phone by some activities or board game . To conclude parents must contole their selves so that phones can not take the place of communication .

Manal says:
It has been proven that parents spent two hours and 17 minutes of their time on phones every day. As a matter of fact, the majority of parents attack and blame their kids for spending too much time on social media while being clueless about their own screen-time .A parent’s responsibility is far from being the same as a child’s one. Family should be their number one priority. Furthermore,children always look forward to be like their parents ,so if they grow in between a Phone addicted family they will probably turn out as addicted as them. Technoference has became a lot more serious phenomenon than we thought. In fact one of it’s main consequences is the destruction of the Socio-emotional well-being of a person and the interruptions in communication when it comes to a parent and kid relationship. It usually takes place during family time where normally there should be a great interaction. Moreover, technoference causes a lot of trouble when it comes to mental health like anxiety depression and a lot more.

Ghayta houari says:
Our parents,as we know they were always trying to stop our addiction to smartphones maybe with yelling at us or with punishments but now days it’s definitely the opposite, this new generation is the one addicted ,they’re giving the same importance and the same time to their kid and this can reach many consequences that can destroy there child’s life, he‘ll feel alone, hostil,depressed and the worst thing is he’ll imitate his parents, he’ll become addicted too,this will cause negative impact on their mental health also it’ll impact their social life . To conclude, we must really give time to this subject wich is such a pandemic that destroy the new generations .

Bravo leader. Very good work. This year, you are just wonderful.

Children learn and develop their behavior by watching others, especially their parents, and this includes screen use. In fact, Parents are spending less time with their kids than they spend on their phones. One of the studies says that children develop the negative attitude and are found with less tolerance towards the disturbing situations. Parent’s smartphone addiction can lead children to have less emotional tolerance and lack of interest to get explored to the outside world. It also adversely affects the parent-child relationship. In other words, when parents are on their devices, research shows that they have fewer conversations with their children and are more hostile when their offspring try to get their attention. Their feeling of belongingness is decreased because they feel unimportant.
Finally, your cell phone has already replaced your camera, your calendar and your alarm clock. Don’t let it replace your family. -
Hiba Zekhnini says:
Cell phone is a super technology that changed our world, but as with anything good, too much of it can lead to problems! smartphone use is associated with various issues including emotional and mental issues, such as anxiety, depression, low-quality sleep… ect, this online obsession has disconnected us from our families,and also from God and even each other, because we’re losing our ability to interact face to face with other human being. Nowadays, parents are just as addicted to the smartphone as their children! this phenomenon has a big impact on family and especially on the kids, when parents are on their smartphone or any other device, they have fewer conversation with their children and they don’t pay attention to them just think about how it feels to be ignored!that’s dangerous because it leads children to feel unimportant and without any value in the family, their desire to share things with them reduces and that makes them feel sad and lonely! another fact is that kids learn by watching what their parents do, they consider them like an exemple, so automatically kids will learn from their parents cell phone behavior!
In conclusion, time that is lost can NEVER be replaced! parents must find a solution to this, they should spend time with their family! that will give their life a meaning and purpose not staring at the phone all the time!!! -
Karam LEBRAZI says:
Nowdays, parents are being addicted to their electronic devices. In fact, this is not only inacceptable, but also dangerous. Actually, kids in their childhood should spend the majority of their time communicating with their parents and having fun with, which improves the child’s communication and socialization skills. In point of fact, as we observe, kids try to attarct their parents’ attention using anything that comes to their minds. For example, they would use their creativity and try to make something out of paper, clay, or even draw something that shows their love to their parents, which also improves their creative and inventive thinking. Even though, when they notice that their parents don’t care at all, they would give up, and kids give up easily, and stop attracting them, which means their creativity and even their communication skills with stop improving and will start dying slowly. Furthermore, childhood is the golden chance for kids to learn about “How things are working?”, with the parents’ assistance of course. But since parents are addicted to their electronic devices, the children have a tiny chance to learn, which can lead them to addiction to smartphones later. So, this shows the absolute irresponsibility of these parents. In other words, and we can all agree with this, we can’t waste a childhood. To sum up, and I’m speaking to parents, there is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in, so don’t waste this master-piece.

Mohamed reda meziane says:
Technoference is dangerous thing that can destroy a family.It comes when the parents want to do some activities with their kids so the parents take a lot of time with their devices and that let the kid try to take attention but without result.This thing can make the family relation be weak .But imagine if the parents did not care about their phones and go to do some activities with their kid we will have a really a good family that have a strong relation.But unfortunately a lot of psrents 62% pass with their devices more than passing time with their kids.That can go also to health problem for kid because if the kid feels that no one care about him he will grow up without a real family.What I mean with real family is that the real family have a good communication good relation not like a family who just pass their time with their smartphones .We have some parents who encourage their kid to play video games and the thing more negative is the age a lot of parents encourage their kid who is 3years old.But imagin when he grow ups what will be the result,the place that the parents encourage their kid to read some book or doing something good they play with him video games it s not acceptebal ,when I think about this my mind don t accepted. The parents should care about their kid to have a good future .

Nohayla Hajjout(◠‿◕) says:
It is beyond all shadow of doubt, that parents are getting addicted to their phones. Indeed, when it comes to children development, parents should worry less about their kids’ screen time, and more about their own. Young children are closely attuned to their parents’ attention. They depend on that attention for their survival, but also, for their social and emotional development. The more parents reported experiencing technoference, the more behavior problems they rated their children as displaying. These ranged from sulking, whining and displaying easily hurt feelings to hyperactivity, temper tantrums and becoming easily frustrated. For instance, a kid said that when he’s dad is using his phone, and he talks to him, the dad doesn’t answer. Thus, the kid flies into rage. Other one wrote, when they were asked in school about an invention they wish never existed, ” I don’t like the phone, because my parents are on their phone everyday. I hate my mom’s one, and i wish she never had it”, which refers that kids feel left out, sad, and annoyed when their parents spend too much time in front of screens. Our parents take our phones, saying that we spend lot of time on it, but they just forget about themselves, they forget that they’re being on theirs for nearly 24/24. Your child is happy to see you! But are you happy to see your child? We have seen children trying to hand their parents their work they completed and the parent is on the phone. We have heard a child saying “Mommy Mommy Mommy..” and the parent is paying more attention to their phone than their own child. It is appalling. Get off your phone, your child sitting next to you is much more important. In brief, parents are being prisoners of their phones, that why it’s called “cellphone”.

More than a third of teens and more than a quarter of parents wake up and check their mobile device for something other than the hour at least once a night, recent studies show parents use their devices nine hours per day on average in the world. smartphones have brought tremendous utility to modern society. At the same time, there is growing concern that smartphone addiction will become a danger for its users. The way parents use their mobile device as a family can affect their relationship with their offsprings. Cell phones can make parents feel more connected, but they can also prevent them and their families from connecting in person and from family activities such as meals, playtime, and bedtime Having regular family meals and connecting at the dinner table is important for child development. Essentially, families that eat together do better! in addition to this mobile devices can create sad kids, hostile parents.

Nada Sefraoui says:
In our world lot of parents addicted to smartphones , 69 percent of parents said they felt “addicted”to their smart devices. Parents spend two hours and 17 minutes per day on their phones, on the other hand they spend two hours and 41 minutes on the free time with their kids .
This parents addiction has lot of consequences.
In fact , the parents become less confident and more aggressive with there kids. Also, they lose all there times on silly things like watching YouTube or other things . So they give no attention and no value to their children . The children become more sad and horrified of their parents addiction . In addition to this kids become lonely , he felt that no one loves him . Added to this kids start screaming and throwing things on the floor or the wall .
So parents must stop using and wasting time on their phones , they must spend more times with their kids to avoid this addiction.-
Bravo Nada. Great work from a B1 student. Your essay proves that you deserve a higher level. But You need to prove it in speaking activities: ” MAKE NOISE”

A technoference parent is a hazardous phenomenal ,we find that that parents grew addicted to smartphones. As a matter of fact, parents are tending to give more importance to their smartphones and spending less time with their children. correspondingly,It also adversely affects the parent-child relationship. That is to say, when parents are on their devices, research shows that they hardly have conversations with their children. In addition to that, parent’s addiction could impact a child’s behavior and manners. Such as throwing trums or or sulking, it could perhaps cause trouble in their mental health, and lead them to emotional issues for example depression,anxiety or loneliness. Technoference has became a lot more serious phenomenon than we thought,it’s main consequences is the destruction of the Socio-emotional well-being of a person and the interruptions in communication when it comes to a parent and kid relationship. All in all,
parents nor kids should be prisoners of phones.-
Great work Abir. I hope you turn the great effort you make in writing will be seen in our discussions. I know that your spoken English is as good as the written. Yet, you have to prove it in class.

Lechheb Manal says:
Nowadays, most of parents are addicted to their electronic devices. They neglect how much time they spend on their screen while their kids needs them, to ask them for something, or play with them, or just to share something with them.
This phenomenon is called “Technoference”. it means the interruption in communication caused by attention paid to personal technological devices. It’s become dangerous when it takes place during family activities such as meals, playtime and bedtime. Also it’s infect destruction of the socio-emotional well-being. That why sometimes you notice that children get throw tantrums or sulk, because they are aware about this topic, they release how parents are far from them and how much phone take time from them. they are so young, they need affection. And parents become more stressed. this may lead to their greater withdrawal with technology.
In my opinion, adults should control technologie, don’t let it control your live, because everyday is a second chance to be with your family and to be in good health, and enjoy your time, so don’t spend it in your screen.-
Thanks a lot Mrs Manal, I am so happy to see the tremendous effort you have been showing recently. You give a great example of the hard work though you are not a student and you are not preparing for any exam. I hope the students learn from your motivation.

Nada housni says:
It is clear that family interactions are shaped by the technology present in the home. Technology use is common in families, To truly understand why parents may turn to phone use even during interactions with their children, we must first understand the factors that may lead adults in general to phone use. The cell or smartphone is a multifaceted, multipurpose device with many attractive features for its users. To name a few, individuals can now connect with others via calls, texts, or social media, check or respond to email messages, work, listen to music, read, listen to, or watch the news, watch TV shows or movies, and much more. That can have so many consequences, first cause kids imitate their parents, when they grow up somehow they’ll have the same addiction as their parents, we ain’t saying that parents shouldn’t be using their gadgets but not around their kids, they should give their kids time like read them stories and so many things that they can do as a family.

Saoud Mohammed says:
social media are things that destroy the lives of many young people but above all it destroys the hope of a dozen even hundreds of children under 6 years old because at this age you only need the attention of your parents which makes the situation harder because your parents prefer to take a phone than hug you , which touches these poor little ones very deeply because they see that they are the only ones in this situation Which makes sense in itself because children under 6 need special attention to grow normally and without this attention the child would have a lot of self-esteem problems. and that’s why parents need to know that their kids need their attention. it’s understood i’m so disappointed with parents lack of attention that even kids see phones as bad things .
But I’m fully aware that it’s not completely their fault because social media are created to draw people into a consommation spiral so it’s technically not their fault but I’m still disappointed to see adults who do not know how to deal with what they love the most (their children)-
Thanks a lot ssi Mohammed for your amazing effort. Please, keep it up to reach the highest levels.

Cell phone is a super technology that changed our world, but as with anything good, too much of it can lead to problems! smartphone use is associated with various issues including emotional and mental issues, such as anxiety, depression, low-quality sleep… ect, this online obsession has disconnected us from our families,and also from God and even each other, because we’re losing our ability to interact face to face with other human being. Nowadays, parents are just as addicted to the smartphone as their children! this phenomenon has a big impact on family and especially on the kids, when parents are on their smartphone or any other device, they have fewer conversation with their children and they don’t pay attention to them just think about how it feels to be ignored!that’s dangerous because it leads children to feel unimportant and without any value in the family, their desire to share things with them reduces and that makes them feel sad and lonely! another fact is that kids learn by watching what their parents do, they consider them like an exemple, so automatically kids will learn from their parents cell phone behavior! In conclusion, time that is lost can NEVER be replaced! parents must find a solution to this, they should spend time with their family! that will give their life a meaning and purpose not staring at the phone all the time!!!

OTHMANE DOUZI says:
Are you aware that the parent’s smartphone addiction can cause serious behavioral issues in children?
We always keep on blaming the children for the time they spend on gadgets. Now we’re going to do a self-examine to parents and check the number of hours that they also spend on it.
In fact, many people deny how much parents spend time on gadgets and always put blame on the kids. However, with this report, the reality will appear and the unfairness will disappear. So, it is doubtful that all Scientifics agree that “ children spend as much as three hours a day on gadgets, but parents are found engaged in their smartphones for the even longer duration.
Adults check their smartphones at least 70-80 times a day. That means, approximately 7-8 times in an hour. This addiction can be of various types. It can be an urge to check messages, expecting a call or a message, checking social media posts, or playing a game.
Nevertheless, this isn’t the problem, in another word, it reflects a ripple effect on children, not just on their feeling but also in getting influenced to be being as result a negative attitude. To get deeper, one of the studies says that children develop a negative attitude. Parent’s smartphone addiction can lead children to have less emotional tolerance and lack of interest to get explored the outside world. It also adversely affects the parent-child relationship.
In addition to this, children feel unimportant in the family. You will say that it is impossible, but don’t get fast. Listen and you will see. So, imagine a situation that your kid has done something great. For example, a great painting that he is proud of. He is excited when he comes back from school and wants to show it to you. But, when he is next to you, you are more interested and busy checking photos on social site. What you think will impact the kid. He will feel unimportant. He constantly will have to compete with your gadgets to divert your attention to his painting, however, gadget are manipulating parents mind unconsciously. And their feeling of belongingness will be decreased because they feel unimportant in front of parent’s eyes. And so, the children will feel sad and angry when they are left without the undivided attention. Their willingness to share things with parents reduces and that makes them sad. It stops their positive emotional development. They are less explored by the positive feelings such as happiness, excitement or appreciation. Hence, it affects their social behavior too. Kids grow only when they receive constant, complete and focused attention.HEY, PARENTS DON’T BE PESSIMITIC! Come on, if you caused all that, you can solve and fixe that issue. All that is in your hands.
So here are some solutions that you can with it get rid of easily smartphone’s addiction.
First, Give yourself a valid reason for checking phones. In fact, every time, you grab on to the phone, think and search for a valid reason. Ask yourself why you checked it? Was it really necessary to scroll down those social media pages now? What difference would it have made if I checked it later? A lot of questions right? Forward, the answers will help reduce your engagement with smartphones. And you can also ask someone to track your activities, find someone who will be a great support and give you some activities that can replace phone moment and will help you get rid of this addiction. So basically, it will be more easy to fight and winning this alarming issue.
To conclude, this issue is may not dangerous in front of eyes, but in front of kind’s heart, it like a seism.-
Machae Allah! Great work from one of the best High Up students. Hard worker, challenger and resilient. I thank you for the effort you never stop deploying. I am so happy to teach you.

Douae mahmoudi says:
In the modern world, we find many parents addicted to their phones, and this negatively affects children In fact, Smartphone’s or internet addiction can also negatively impact life of parents, so, they don’t spend time with children, is a problem it is going to cause harm for the parent in mental harm like anxiety, depression… also physical harm like they will have problems in eyes (lack of sights…), also, lack of sleep, and as we know that parents are the ideals of a child; so, in this case, the children will learn a bad habit, beside, it may also ruin their relationship with the lack of communication between them; beside,an ideal relationship between parents and children, is based on dialogue, and also the family is the first reference in matters of education, also, in academic performance, consequently, Children feel lonely and sad, lastly, the parents should change, “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change” -Albert Einstein.

Hajar Benabad says:
As we all know , we are all attracted to these miserable screens, parents like children, but we don’t know that they use as.
In a way we are like merchandise.
if you have noticed we all stay on our screen for hours, each one has a reason. Children study or play, parents to watch news.
our parents stay on their screen 7 to 8 time in 1 hour because without thinking they are attracted to notifications.
It’s not just parents even children
on their phones have notification or message
that someone text them,…
Instead of having a family discussion in the end of the day about our problems or how we spent our day, everyone stays in their corner. We are so influenced. I will show you an example that is specially addressed to young people.
In a way,when we saw an influencer on social media wearing a new tenuous of x mark, all of young people want to buy like him and to be like her they say that it’s their idol, the perfect example, but they don’t know the reality.
In another way, honestly when we are on social media and we see people who show their new cars, watches, luxury bags, …
we make our parents feel guilty or we are depressed, we don’t feel well.
I admit rarely I feel this feeling, my mother tells me to pray, or reading a book after I see life in another sense, life is beautiful, we only have one life to live with our family, go out with our friends…Personally, my parents a few years ago did not buy us a screen we had a computer for my big brother, my little brother and i, But now or a little more than a year my big brother make my parents feel guilty, that he was the the only one not to have a phone, but after an experiment my father bought him a phone and he left him the phone for a week, my big brother showed acrossism. Since my father gives him his phone every other weekend.
Currently, everyone has a computer my little brother at 12 does not have a phone but when my mother gives him his phone he can stay a day without seeing him ..
Now I have a phone and a computer but I am the only one in my family who is not addicted, but if I tell the truth I am a little bit addicted I stay 1 hour in a day on my phone.By the Way I showed you an example that reflects the truth about what happens in all family, parents have no choice because if they don’t buy screens for their children the society will rejected your children. like they were weird.
Sorry for this long paragraph but I hope you like the true side of screens.

Khawla ghoumri says:
The parents addiction is one of the most spread and hazardous issues nowadays. In fact this phenomenen was limited only to children, infortunately today we notice that it is widespread even for people who must assume the responsability of life and correct their children’s mistakes, so that there are some sientific studies that proved that parents spend more time surfing their phones than sitting With their children and taking care of them, this makes us wonder and ask three important questions: what are the causes that drive the parents to make this terrible mistake? And what are the consequences of this behaviour? And is there any solutions to reduce the danger of this problem?
Actuality the reasons that lead parents to behave like this are many, among them we mention: trying to enjoy, escaping from personnal and professionnal problems, the addiction to using the smartphone from a very young age etc… As for the consequences of this behaviour are just catastrophic, the most popular ones are: The breakdown of family contact so that every member is trapped in his own shell, wich causes to the children some really critical mental illnesses, in addition to the weakness of the intellectual production whether in study or work, without forgetting the exposure to severe physical diseases due to the phone rays, all these toxic cosequences encourage us to think criticaly and look for some solutions to save our selves ans all the society membres from this disastrous issue, the most important of them are: Time management and reducing the phone browsing hours, engaging in some activities that can help us to destroy the addiction like cooking ; drawing; camping ; writing stories.. , trying to live a period of time without phone and finally visiting the doctor if the situation calls that.
All in all, the addiction to the smartphone is a slow death, so that is why Everyone should enjoy every single moment if his life and taste the sweatness of what he lives, as every father and mother should behave rationally to bequeath to their children only the awesome manners, since the parents are teachers, guides, leaders, protectors and providers for their children.-
Excellent work Miss Khawla: great ideas and very good English. The way you structure your ideas is very good. Keep it up and be proud of your level.

Sohayb Karmoud says:
It is incontestable that parents’ addiction to the smartphone has been one of the most debated issues in the 21st century. The most of scientists agree that its very big problem. In fact,parents who regularly look to their mobile devices to check texts, emails, other alerts and videos have an increased chance of having kids who develop behavioral problems. Also, their kids can have some problems psychic foe exemple they can feel that they are good for no thing. In addition to this, the kids naturally they learn from their parents. So, they going to have a bad future because they going to try be addicted like their parents. Our parents spend most of their time alerting us to never use phones too much but they forget their selves so we must alert them. Unfortunately, there are other negative effects of using too much technology. No matter how old you are, technology can end up affecting our parents’s health. As Korena S said “We really need to start raising awareness among parents that their behaviors possibly have an association with their children’s [behaviors] as well,”In brief,parent’s addiction to phones still be a debatable subject.

Aya Souidi says:
Parents’ addiction to the smartphone has plenty of consequences. In point of fact, in a study from the US, parents of children aged 5-18 reported spending slightly less quality time with their kids than they spend on their phones. Additionally, they especially use those devices in family activities such as, meals, playtime, bedtime,etc. In other words, all the important moments in shaping a child’s social
emotional well-being. This bad habit is resulting in disastrous consequences. First of all, technoference deprives parents of the opportunity to provide meaningful emotional support to their children. Hence, it causes the offspring to throw tantrums or sulk. Equally important, others who have kids with more behavioral problem become more stressed. Last but not least, youths learn and develop their behavior by watching others, especially their parents, and this includes screen use. Thus, it increases their greater withdrawal with technology. In breif, technology interferes in social relationships, including the most important relationship of all: the one between parents and their children. -
Lina jerdioui says:
Nowadays, technology has become an important thing in our life . And this issue is global , wherever we go we find it. In fact, electronic devices are a drug that attract everyone, especially kids , but in the recent years the percentage of addicted parents has increased horribly , which shows their ignorance to their children with finding excuses for them, such as : work ..etc . And it’s disappointing , because it will cause several problems and one of them is “education”, kids are espacially not going to learn good manners and will have a difficult behavior . Finally , this phenomenon is dangerous to people’s lives and it should be resolved.

It’s true that technology has made our lives easier in many ways, but being addicted to technology could really have some serious effects on children.
Parent’s addiction to electronic devices is becoming a perilous in which children are the victims. A study estimate that parents spend nine hours per day on average using their smartphones, during family activities such as meals , bedtime…, that what destruct social emotional well-being of children. When children notice that these devices steal their parents from them they try to attract their attention by sulking or throwing things. -

Are you conscious of the impact of parents’ smartphone addiction on the kids behavior ?
Perhaps one of the greatest evils of our Y and Z generations is the inevitable dependency on smartphones to function in society. Parents may find that their child is spending too much time on their device, from playing mobile games to spending countless hours on social media platforms and Whats-app. But as a parent, you also need to realise that the youngsters aren’t the only ones who are affected by this dependence on smartphones.In fact , a lot of people deny how much parents spend time on their screen and put the blame the blame on the kids . Although , when we check the reports the reality will appear and the people will know that they are destroying their own family . So , all the scientist agree that “We know that children spend as much as three hours a day on gadgets, but parents are found engaged in their smartphones for the even longer duration.”
Adults check their smartphones at least 70-80 times a day. That means, approximately 7-8 times in an hour. This addiction can be of various types. It can be an urge to check messages, expecting a call or a message, checking social media posts, or playing a game.
Nevertheless , this isn’t the problem , it’s that children develop the negative attitude and are found with less tolerance towards the disturbing situations. Parent’s smartphone addiction can lead children to have less emotional tolerance and lack of interest to get explored to the outside world. It also adversely affects the parent-child relationship. In other words , children feel unimportant in the Family . Imagine a situation that your kid has done something great. For example, a great painting that he is proud of. He is excited when he comes back from school and wants to show it to you. But, when he is next to you, you are more interested and busy checking photos on social site. What you think will impact the kid. He will feel unimportant. He constantly will have to compete with your gadgets to divert your attention to his painting. Their feeling of belongingness is decreased because they feel unimportant. So the children feel angry and go to the corner and feel that he is useless in this world . When parents do not pay attention to the children, they become agitated. Their willingness to share things with parents reduces and that makes them sad. It stops their positive emotional development. They are less explored by the positive feelings such as happiness, excitement or appreciation. Hence, it affects their social behavior too. Kids grow only when they receive constant, complete and focused attention. Moreover , smartphone addiction affects healthy parenting. Parents are found more indulged in the smartphones, even on the dining tables. According to one researcher, the first thing parents do when they go for family dinner or lunch is checking their smartphones. They will just settle their kids and hop on to checking their phone. Updating on the social media about their outing.
But parents said that it’s too late to solve the problem , those type of people are afraid of change in their lives . This is some solutions that we can deploy in our lives . First , give yourself a valid reason for checking phones. Every time, you grab on to the phone, think and search for a valid reason. Ask yourself why you checked it? Was it really necessary to scroll down those social media pages now? What difference would it have made if I checked it later? How I could have utilized those few minutes in a better manner? A lot of questions right? But, the answers will help reduce your engagement with smartphones. Secondly , we must limit the usage of those technological tools . If you had read our blog on Digital Addiction, it gives various tips on limiting the use of gadgets for children. The same rule must go for the entire family. Agreed that you may get important calls and emails, then decide on a schedule when maybe your children are not around. Plan a time according to the schedule of your children, consider them. You may get uncomfortable and restless at the beginning but, it will help you in better parenting. Thirdly , ask someone to track your activities. Find someone who can keep a track of what you are doing. It can be your spouse when at home, a colleague when at the office or a friend when you are just chilling out. So basically, find someone who will be a great support to you and will help you get rid of this addiction. And fourthly , celebrate when you achieve. Mark on the day when you strictly followed the schedule. Celebrate it. Share it with your friends and family. No, not on the messaging app. Meet them and tell. Do what will encourage you. The best will be sharing it with the children. Tell them how you managed to do it even with the busy schedules. It will inspire them too.
To conclude , this phenomena may not be hazardous in our eyes or for the parents , but for the kids , it’s terrible for them it’s like a nightmare for them . -

It’s okay to answer an urgent text or make a quick call, especially if it includes your child.Finally, Children want the real connection, which is what quality time is.But when we interrupt that quality time to respond to our phones, we disconnect. It’s like we hang up on them.For the sake of our children’s development, our relationships with our kids, our relationships with our partners, and for our own wellbeing, we would do well to resist technoference.

Mohamed Mansour says:
Parents addicting is more strenuous than kids addicting , while the kids become addicted to phones because they see their parents using phones many times in a day , so they don’t care to their children consequencely they imitate them . In fact , parents use their phone mor than 12 hours in day , so it is incredibly to be in face to your phone for 12 hours , but when we talk to them they blend us or they cause it on us .
Consequently , their relationship ruin with lack of communication between them and it is going to make the child feel unappreciated , so it will lead him to stress , anxiety, and depression …
As a conclusion, the impact of the addiction are vicious , so we need to organize an awareness campaigns . -

Parents’ addicted to games at pathological level can have host of destructive impact on the family. In point of fact, parents who play video games may be distracted in their parenting. This can lead to a disconnection with their kids. As a parent you should have time for your kids because who is going to be with them to make their life decisions. A parent who is addicted to playing games can cause many disadvantages ; parents are less supportive, and there’ll be a diminished feeling of parenting. Their children will feel also useless and this can lead to depression, anxiety, poorer social development and higher levels of stress. Furthermore, parents addiction to games can increase mental health problems for both the kids and the parents. When parents play violent games there will be more punitive and harsh interactions which can make the household extremely toxic. In order to build a good relationship with your kid, you’re obliged to communicate with them. All in all, “addiction is a family disease.. one person may use, but the whole family suffers”

In this world of technology, smartphones have explored this world wide popularity. Also, we have found that many parents are very addicted due to the misuse of their phones. So, we are attempting to analyze this phenomenon.
In point of fact, the vast majority of parents have become very attached to the miserable screens ,which it can be very drastic, expacially for their health.
Equally important, it leads to very severe psychological problems such as depression, anxiety and even lack of sleep. Moreover, they constantly eschausted their selves and occupied with unnecessary work that just pulls their back. Probably, it will make the child feel underestimated by his parent which is terribly bad, may be the child will grasp that it’s wholly beneficial, but
it is really very injurious for him in reality. Furthermore, it destroys family dialogue, you know that the lack of communication between parent and child create a very complicated problem instead of changing ideas. So,
it couldn’t improve the intellectual and cultural level of their offsprings. In addition to this, they should get rid of their phones by enjoying every single moment and taste the sweatness of what they live, as the quote said: “Putting your phone away and listening to the others next to you, there is an app for that called respect”.
All in all, addicted parents must be very concise while spending time on phones and avoid as much as possible these flaws because it is the most crucial time shaping the child’s social-emotional wellbeing. -
Wiam Karkach says:
Parents and teachers should build the children’s curiosity. In fact, curiosity has such a big importance in child life, because it makes him discovering the world, and figuring out how it works. And in order to be more curious the child needs help from his entourage, and this is the role of his parents and teachers: The parents should ask him first what his thoughts are, and let him know that is okay not to have all the answers. Moreover, they should avoid asking him the polar questions. In addition to this, they should let their child’s curiosity be his guide by giving him objects to explore for example…
As for the teachers, they should teach the student how to ask quality questions, and how to be skeptic. Furthermore, they should encourage him to tinker, and make the more curious and the less curious students work together… -

Parents’ addicted to phones at a pathological level can have a destructive impact on their families. In point of fact, parents keep using their phones and forget their responsibilities as kids and families. This addiction is characterized by executive time spent on phone, communication problems and difficulties disengaging from phones. And consequences are many: increase attention problems, poorer social competence and increase depression and anxiety. But it’s also have a bad impact on kids’ development as they get less support from parents or even have a poor social development at a young age.

Nowadays, smartphone have invaded our lives. In point of fact, if teenagers are usually the blamed ones to spend too much time on their devices, parents ought to not be excluded. As sociologists have proven it, parents addiction can have terrible repercussions on their kids such as depression and mold loneliness and unloved feelings.
Some parents use their smartphone even at meals, when they are gathered with their family and supposed to talk about their day. As a matter of fact, this phenomenon that became now « normal » for most of the families, is not.
Parents who privilege their phone over the discussion that can have with their kids do not realize how the children feel at that moment, they really do be thinking that they are a burden for their parents and don’t dare to talk to them anymore even if it has never been the parent intention. To conclude, as small and useful your smartphone can be it can also hold a bunch of difficulties and parents must consider it and review their priorities to then try to find a balance between their kids and an object. -

In our day, parents became more addicted to technology. In fact, parents are in front of their screen two hours and seventeen minute per day, and 62% admit that they use so much their phones. As a consequence, the parents pass less time with their children and it has some bad effect in the kids. Firstly, due to the lack of parent’s advices the children will have problems in their life, so they so they will struggle a lot without finding someone to relay on, in other word, if the kids have problems, they will find difficulties to solve it, because they don’t have any experience and their parents are not present in their life. So, when their kids do mistakes or can’t do something the parents will be punitive and harsh. Secondly, children will become more depressed and anxious, and that’s due to the lack of the loneliness that they live in their houses, so they run also to their devices and all we know that this is not the best solution. Also, we can conclude that kids’ technology addiction is a consequence of parent’s addiction, because, if the kids find someone to communicate and interact with, the time they pass in front of their phones will decrease. Finally, the family will become more separated, for example, if each member of the family is on his phone, the communication between them will decrease and the kids will have bad example, since children follow their parents. So, the problem will stay in the society because the children of today are tomorrow’s parents. To conclude, parent’s addiction is a problem that have toxic long-term consequences.

Nowadays most parents are addicted to technology.It’s true that technology has made our lives easier in many ways, but being addicted to technology could really have some serious negative effects on children.Because the honest truth is that many adults have just as much of a technology addition as kids. With the average cell phone user checking their phone around 80 times a day (six to seven times an hour), it’s clear that a lot of us have too much technology in parenys lives,not just kids.This can affect on the childrens behavior. The kids need the parents presence in every time like sporting event and family activities, if a kid see that his parents are not with him he will feel as he doesn’t have parents while his friends are surrounded by his mom ana dad. Niwadays children feel depressed just because of the technology. I will adress a message to parents:(Your smartphone addiction could be harming your children.)

Phones addiction is a dangerous phenomenon that has exploded world wild. In the beginning it was affecting importantly kids but now it’s affecting even parents. Actually, parents addicted to their phones don’t give sufficient attention and love to their kids. As consequences, kids can become depressed, isolated, they can even have psychological illness…etc. In the opposite if parents put away their phones, organize their time between work, family and hobbies and talk and listen to their kids, then their kids are going to be happy and productive in their studies and nothing bad is going to happen.

Parent’s addiction to Smartphone’s is a big issue. Kids need love attention and feeling valued. Parent’s role is to give those things to their kids. When phones intervene in the relation between parents and kids, parents stop playing, communicating, and caring about their kids. Consequently, kids feel sad, lonely, with no value and they can even suffer from some psychological problems. That’s why parents must control their selves and organize their time in a way that gives everyone his right.

Kids and teens addiction to cell phones has become one of the most debatable phenomenons that have exploded worldwide. However, everyone ignores or hides a more serious problem which is parent’s addiction to smart phones. This issue is increasing more and more between adults especially parents. It is undeniable to say that kids need their parents a lot. Their future personalities are based on their relationships with their parents in their childhood. Consequently, kids need love, affection, feeling valued and important for their parents. So parents must do their best to afford all those things for their kids since they are young. A parent must divide his time into work, family and hobbies, of course with giving the biggest part to his family. Unfortunately, when technology interferes between parents and children, it will lead to less communication and less instructive and supportive play, and more gap and distance between parents and children. There will be more punitive and harsh interactions between parents and children, so those later can feel lonely even if their parents are next to them. All of this increase psychological problems for the kid, such as: depression and anxiety. All in all, once a person becomes a parent, his responsibilities change, he must care and show his love to his child that he can grows in a good way.

We used to know that every parent yells and punish their kids for spending their time facing the screens but nowdays it’s totally the opposite, the parents are the one addicted they can’t control themselves so they forget everything about their responsibilities and their kids and this can cause many consequences: first, it can destroy their children lifes,they’ll feel lonely and depressed and the worst thing is that they’ll imitate them so they’ll be addicted too. Second thing is that it’ll destroy their lifes, they can’t live without friends or even kids and this will eradicate the whole society.To conclude,we should find a solution to this pandemic before it ruins our world.

Nowadays, parent’s smartphone addiction has become a problem that lot of families are suffering from and which has a very bad impact on children’s attitude.
In fact, parents are found more indulged in the smartphones, even on the dining tables. According to one researcher, the first thing parents do when they go for family dinner or lunch is checking their smartphones. This addiction has a very bad effects on children .It lead the children to have less emotional tolerance and lack of interest to get explored to the outside world. It also adversely affects the parent-child relationship.
Children feel sad and angry when they are left without the undivided attention. When parents do not pay attention to the children, they become agitated. Their willingness to share things with parents reduces and that makes them sad. It stops their positive emotional development. They become less explored by the positive feelings such as happiness, excitement and appreciation. When parents use smartphones in the presence of kids, it shows unattentiveness. Kids may not listen to you but they watch you carefully and imitate you. So they will adopt the negative things too that parents do and it is not a healthy way of parenting. Finaly It is difficult to say that it’s a problem with the kid, but it’s time that the parents also take some responsibility for it. -

Its incontestable that Parent which are addicted to social media influence badly their children. In point of fact, it impacts their kids life, this ones need education, affection and care. Actually, when a mom spends more time behind her black mirroir and neglect her children, this last ones can be dangerous on society without finding any one who can control them. Added to this the central role of parents is being the model and their sons gonna imitate them, so kids gonna be directly addicted to media too, this one gonna ruin their personnel and professional life if we don’t use it wisely. As well as this Children can suffer from a memory loss or autism. Without finding a real parents the first person they can talk and tell everything.
In addition to this , parents become less suportive and engaged in instructive play with their children. Also, they punish or deal with them. Added to this, the parents will not be able to eat, to sleep…
So the best solution is to switch up their routine, for example: not using the phone for a week,reading books, spending more time with their family. -

In our current world, we find many parents addicted to their phones and this negatively affects children.
in fact, statistics show that parents became more concentrated on their technological devices than on their offspring.
However, parents are very protective of their phones, how it’s used, where it’s used and how much it costs. It has become a very personal issue for a whole lot of people in our country.
Furthermore, parents kill the children’ curiosity while ignoring their questions. As many statistics showed that 62%of parents admitted to spending too much time on their cell phone rather than kids.
Overall, parents have to be responsible and spend more of their time listening and discussing with their kids because technoference leads just to darkness. -
Rayan says:
Parents’ addiction to technology may be causing a change in their children’s behavior. In fact, parents’ addiction to phones distracts them from their children, and this leads them to many problems with the children. This also leads to separation of the family, so that relationship between family members disappears, and the children will not be raised properly. On the other hand, children will forget many memories of the family, in addition to that they will feel lonely and their psychological state will be deteriorating. Therefore, parents should take care of their children and give up their phones because it robs them of the most important thing, which is the family.
