Recently there was information that scientists have revealed the secret of why children hold a pencil incorrectly.. According to researchers, the smartphone interferes with the proper development of the joints of the fingers and hand.

Sally Payne, senior pediatrician, said that touchscreen smartphones have a very bad effect on the development of motor skills in children. It has already been proven that early enthusiasm for technology is fraught with big consequences in the future..

For the most part, the motor skills of the fingers of the hand suffer, which is why children hold the writing instruments incorrectly.. Modern technologies, although they simplify the life of mankind, have a detrimental effect on the development of a fragile child's body..

The pediatrician said that the fingers of children going to the first grade are not yet strong enough to hold pens and pencils. This is all the result of the spread of new technologies, tablets and phones..

Barbie Clark, a child psychiatrist, said most educational institutions were not willing to switch to new technology any time soon.. Primary school children will continue to use writing utensils, but the school administration asked parents to control the time of exposure to smartphones and children.
