                              Addiction to Social Media and Gaming Social networking websites have made our lives significantly easier when it comes to keeping in touch with those we care about even if they happen to live across the world from us. Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and a dozen of other apps and websites with the elements of social interaction, are used every single day by children and parents alike. However, when the use of these social networking sites interferes with a person's perception of reality and his or her attitude towards everyday activities and real-life communication, it is time to address the issue. While social media addiction can happen to anyone, there is no doubt that children are especially prone to developing this problem. According to reports, almost 92% of the teens from the age of 13 to 17 are online regularly and 75% out of all have internet access on their digital cell phones.

  Does over indulgence harms child’s resilience? Parenting styles can vary greatly, but they all have an impact on children’s development and behavior. Over indulgence and / or pampering comes in many forms.
