When Screens Steal Childhood: Adam's Story

By Karima Kebir

Adam, an eleven-year-old boy, is much like many children of his generation-captivated by the blue glow of screens. Whether it's a tablet, a smartphone, or a computer, these devices seem to cast a magnetic spell on him. His days are filled with video games, YouTube clips, and endless online chats with his friends. Technology offers him a universe of discoveries and entertainment, yet it quietly steals away the simple joys of childhood-playing outside, laughing with friends in the fresh air, or losing himself in the pages of a book. His parents, troubled by this growing dependence, search for ways to help him unplug and rediscover balance. They suggest new activities, hoping to spark his curiosity about the real world once again. But it is no small task in a time when screens are everywhere, and the boundary between the virtual and the real grows thinner each day.
