Alteraciones en el desarrollo psicológico infantil relacionado con el uso excesivo de dispositivos móviles

Abstract

Proper psychological development of the child is one of the most important pillars in the perinatal, prenatal, and postnatal stages of human development. The evolution of the individual allows them to have cognitive, social, and personal skills allowing them to fit into society. Currently, there are environmental factors that intervene in evolutionary development and cause changes in each stage of development. Nowadays, mobile devices are an essential part of everyone's life. Smartphones have become very popular in childhood and adolescence, which has prevented appropriate psychological development during these phases. This review describes the relationship between certain psychological, cognitive, and social changes in child development due to excessive use of mobile devices and lack of control at home in the pediatric population. The aim of this review is to make readers aware of this problem, which is increasing year by year.
