New Delhi, April 18 (IANS) Is your child hooked on to social networking sites or online gaming sites and exhibiting worrying behavioural changes? Maybe it’s time you intervened and consulted a doctor.
Vidushi Gupta, 16, used to spend hours on Facebook religiously following her friends and connecting to new people. In the beginning it was fun but slowly it started taking a toll on her health and her parents witnessed drastic changes in her behaviour.
“She completely cut down on socialising and used to remain in her room. This was the time when we approached a doctor, who told us that her addiction to social networking sites was behind the change in her behavioural pattern,” said the teen’s mother.
