“Doctor Will Take Out Your Eyes” Kids Warn Each Other About Mobiles in Viral Video
One of the biggest problems families are facing today is mobile phone addiction in children. As soon as kids return from school, many of them pick up their phones and don’t leave them until bedtime. Whether it’s eating, playing, or even relaxing, mobile phones are now a constant part of their daily routine.
Many people believe that this habit doesn’t start on its own. In most cases, it’s the parents who hand over the phone first. To stop a baby from crying or to take some quiet time for themselves, parents often give phones to young children. Slowly, this becomes a regular habit. Some even send their kids to another room with a phone just so they can have their own “me time.” This might seem small, but it has long-term effects on children.
Teacher Asks Why Phones Are Bad, Kids Have Answers
A recent school video is now going viral. In it, a teacher asks her students why they should not use mobile phones. The answers from the children are both funny and serious. One child said, “Eyes get damaged.” Another added, “The second eye gets damaged too.” One student said, “Eyes bleed,” and another added, “Glasses are worn.” A few kids also mentioned that their parents scold them for using the phone. One child even said, “If you see more phones, doctors will take out your eyes.”
This small classroom activity is part of a growing campaign in schools to teach children about the dangers of too much screen time. The aim is to make kids more aware and reduce mobile use among them.
Online Reactions, Parents Must Change First
People online are now reacting to the video, and most of them are blaming parents, not children. One user wrote, “It is only by showing the phone that the parents spoil the habits of their children, and then later they get upset.” Another said, “No matter how much you teach these children, they will still go home and watch their mobile phones.”
One comment read, “Children do as they see; first, parents have to stop looking at the phone in front of them.” Others added, “Parents give the phone the moment a child cries,” and “Nothing will be achieved by explaining children to their parents.”
