Social Media
Social media is slowly consuming children’s lives, warping their sense of self-worth and creating unrealistic standards. With constant exposure to curated images and opinions, kids are losing their ability to focus, developing anxiety, and struggling with self-esteem. What seems like harmless scrolling is stripping away their childhood, leaving them addicted, isolated, and trapped in a cycle. The damage is real, and it's happening right in front of our eyes.
Streaming
Streaming services are quietly hijacking children’s attention, making them glued to screens for hours on end. What seems like innocent entertainment is actually taking away valuable time for real-world interactions, physical activity, and creativity. Kids are becoming addicted to instant gratification, because of content that promotes binge-watching and unhealthy habits. As they lose themselves in endless shows, they're missing out on the experiences that shape their growth trading real connections. The consequences are creeping in, and they're far more damaging than we realize.
Gaming
Gaming is slowly consuming children’s minds, trapping them in virtual worlds where reality fades away. What starts as innocent fun quickly turns into an addiction, with hours spent glued to screens, ignoring real-life relationships and responsibilities. The thrill of leveling up and instant rewards hijack their attention, leaving them unable to focus or engage meaningfully outside of the game. As they slip deeper into the digital world, their social skills weaken, physical health deteriorates, and their sense of time becomes warped. The longer this goes unchecked, the harder it is to pull them back to the real world.
