          In this modern era, the use of technology by children is the common. The children can freely watching TV, using their pad, smart phone, and also laptop. And this is now become a habitual for children, so when their desire to use their gadget is rejected they will angry and cry. The use of gadget for their educational media is good, but when they face the screen for long time –it called screen time-, it can cause some problems for children.

          The first problem that can appear when there is no limitation of screen time for children is that their self-control is decrease. Digital tool is very easy to access by using remote, click, and touch-screen. Children can get all they want just by their finger, this easiness can cause lazy to move in children. So, their body movement will decrease, of course it can cause they lose their ability to use their body organ.

          The second problem that can caused by screen time for children is the social interaction with other people is reputed as something unimportant. Children can get all they want by their gadget, so they think that they do not need other people around them. It is okay if they are child, because they only need their family which can help her anytime. But, when they grow up and become adult, they will need other people. The problem is they are not able to build good communication with other people, so they will be isolated.

          Finally, I myself think that it is important to make a limitation for children’s screen time to prevent some problems that can caused by long screen time by children.
