Abstract

Overall, there is a rise in the use of and dependent on mobile devices due to the constant connectivity provided by phones and the social pressure to respond to messages as quickly as feasible. The likelihood of parental use of mobile devices would disrupt parent-child interactions is thereby increased. Parents are less sensitive to their children's verbal and nonverbal cues for attention when they are using their phones, which could lead to less fruitful parent-child interactions. There are a greater number of injuries among children today, which may be due to children's risky attention-seeking habits. The use of technology and how it affects families are issues that both parents and children are concerned about. It is undeniable that having a cell phone around makes it difficult to engage with your family members in person. This also explains why the coherence of family ties and the amount of time parents and kids spend together are deteriorating. Even while now seems like the ideal moment to reconnect and reevaluate what family relationships entail, that may not be the case if cell phones are involved
