There can be a variety of reasons why children may use the internet excessively or disobey their parents when it comes to internet use. One reason may be that the internet and social media can be highly engaging and can provide a constant source of stimulation, making it difficult for children to stop using it. Additionally, the internet can be a way for children to connect with their peers, which can be particularly appealing for those who may feel socially isolated.
Another reason may be that children may not understand the potential dangers of excessive internet use, such as cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate content, or addiction to online activities. Children may also not understand the importance of balancing online and offline activities, and may not see the value in spending time away from screens.
It's also possible that children may use the internet excessively because they are not provided with enough alternative activities or opportunities for learning and growth.
In summary, children's excessive internet use and disobedience towards parents may stem from a combination of factors, such as the high level of engagement provided by the internet and social media, lack of understanding of the potential risks and of balanced use, lack of alternative activities, and feeling socially isolated.
If parents are facing issues with their child's internet use, it's important to set clear boundaries and expectations, educate them on the potential risks,and monitor their activities. Finding alternative activities and ways to engage with the child might help, encouraging them to develop skills and interests in offline activities can be a good way to reduce excessive internet use
