【英语文章】给孩子一部智能手机如同“毒品”

Giving your child a smartphone is like "giving them a gram of cocaine", a top addiction therapist has warned.
 
Time spent messaging friends on Snapchat and Instagram can be just as dangerously addictive for teenagers as drugs and alcohol, and should be treated as such, school leaders and teachers were told at an education conference in London.
 
Speaking alongside experts in technology addiction and adolescent development, Harley Street rehab clinic specialist Mandy Saligari said screen time was too often overlooked as a potential vehicle for addiction in young people.
 
"I always say to people, when you're giving your kid a tablet or a phone, you're really giving them a bottle of wine or a gram of coke," she said.
 
"Why do we pay so much less attention to those things than we do to drugs and alcohol when they work on the same brain impulses?"
 
Ofcom figures suggest more than four in ten parents of 12-15 year-olds find it hard to control their children's screen time.
 
Even three and four year olds consume an average of six and half hours of internet time per week, according to the broadcasting regulators.

在Snapchat和Instagram上消息传递朋友的时间对于青少年来说就像毒品和酒精一样危险上瘾,应该这样对待,学校领导和老师在伦敦的教育会议上被告知。
 
Harley Street康复诊所专家Mandy Saligari与技术成瘾和青少年发展方面的专家一起说,屏幕时间经常被忽视,成为年轻人成瘾的潜在载体。
 
“我总是对人们说,当你给孩子一个平板电脑或手机时,你真的给他们一瓶葡萄酒或一克可乐,”她说。
 
“当我们对同样的大脑冲动进行研究时,为什么我们对这些事情的关注要少于对毒品和酒精的关注?”
 
Ofcom的数据表明,超过四分之一的12-15岁的父母发现很难控制孩子的屏幕时间。
 

据广播监管机构称,即使是三四岁的孩子每周平均需要花费六个半小时的互联网时间。
