Children are not interested in anything else around them, even talking to their parents still not facing up,  keep starring and focus on the iPad while parents cannot order to stop. And if they are unable to play a device, they start crying and screaming include becoming an introvert, short-tempered and being unable to wait for something.

  Part of the reason is that the games on the tablet are usually short and quick, if they lose then start it over. Children are absorbed these habits by accumulating until they become aggressive without knowing it. This may impact on their social life in the near future. At the same time watching the screen for a long period can provide them a less energy   and being lazy comparing to children in the same age.

Causes

Children are still too young to know about technology or mobile use, but parents teach their children to use them. Also they cannot distinguish how long they should play or even notice when become addicting to those things, because they only enjoy playing. For that reason, means they are only interested in images and sounds that quickly changed

On the other hand if what a child is playing is a game or a content that helps them developing ideas, that will be  more helpful and effective. However, if kids are just playing video games or simply watching videos from these things for a long time. Parents should start introducing and teaching them to utilize all contents wisely. And not letting children spend too much time. According to a child development can be enhanced by doing many activities.

What parents can do 

   Starting by sitting down to analyze your children’s behavior. What activities they like to do, such as drawing, painting, molding include finding activities that have an interaction with others in order to improve their social skills: playing sports, attending some extra courses. Then allocate time for kids to spend on a tablet. Precisely, they cannot quit right away. Parents need to reduce the time gradually. And let them do what they like until there is no call for a tablet, providing another activity with rewarding by creating some challenging, accordingly this option gives a good result.

  And most importantly parents should be good examples for children. At least when you are with the them, try spending time with kids rather than using a device, using the time to gain and develop some benefit  between you both.
