This news article by Hannah Richardson for BBC, explains how parents are using smartphone and tablets as a 'digital dummy' as a way to pacify their children and keep them busy.
A representative head teacher says that children are left unattended using their electronic devices at night time, which is interrupting their sleep. This then leaves them too tired to learn at school and children sit in class yawning and not performing at their best, forcing the teachers to repeat and go over things more than once.
The problem is how parents are not noticing this and do not realise the impact using a smartphone at night time has on their children. The article highlights the mistakes parents are making with their children in regards to their education, such as constantly using their own smartphones instead of concentrating on their child.
