O Uso de celular por crianças na primeira infância: oportunidades e riscos

Abstract

This study aimed to understand the relationship between contemporary childhood and the use of cell phones. For this purpose, a literature review was conducted, which addressed studies and analyses on the impact of cell phone use in early childhood, both the positive aspects and the associated risks. The analysis of the data allowed to identify that the use of cell phones by children has become increasingly common and that this can bring benefits, such as access to educational information and stimulation of cognitive development. However, risks were also identified, such as exposure to inappropriate content and the impact on children's physical and mental health. It was concluded that it is important for parents, educators, and society in general to be aware of this phenomenon and seek ways to guide responsible cell phone use by children.
