This article goes in to a lot of detail about the negative effects and consequences of children using smartphones, which is extremely useful for my project and research questions.
Author of the article Tristram Hunt, also a shadow education secretary, explains how when he visits school, the head teachers reveal that many of the children are having problems and difficulties with speech and language development as well as social interaction, and each head teacher blames the 'iPhone'.
This gives the impression that the teachers believe these issues are due to smartphones. The article also specifies how if the child's parents are constantly using a smartphone, it is likely that the child will replicate this action and do the same. There is a big impact of a parent not spending time interacting with their child and using their phone instead, as this is causing the limitations of the child.
