development.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Impaired Communication Skills:<\/strong> Excessive screen time hampers vital communication skills, essential for understanding and conveying emotions and thoughts.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Decreased Empathy:<\/strong> Spending more time on mobile devices hampers empathy development, which relies on understanding and responding to others&#8217; emotions.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Limited Real-world Exposure:<\/strong> Mobile phones confine children to a virtual world, limiting their exposure to diverse people, places, and experiences.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Cyberbullying and Online Risks:<\/strong> Digital engagement exposes children to cyberbullying and inappropriate content, risking their socialisation experiences and mental well-being.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Contact with other agencies of socialization<\/strong> -out of kin dependence -on peer group , educational institutions which may become detrimental for
