In the UK, a significant quarter of children aged three and four now own smartphones, leading to growing concerns about their social and emotional development. This situation brings forth questions regarding how constant access to social media, advertising, and online influences shapes children's self-perception and relationships. A video series titled 'It's Complicated' on YouTube aims to investigate these implications by engaging experts to discuss issues such as anxiety, self-esteem, and identity in a digital age. Audience participation is encouraged to gather insights and questions relevant to this ongoing exploration.
The impact of smartphones on young children, particularly with respect to their mental health, self-esteem, and relationships, is still being thoroughly investigated.
The rise of advertising and influencer culture accessible through smartphones raises concerns about how these factors shape children's identities from a young age.
