ABSTRACT

In the last five years we have witnessed in our clinical practice in the area of neuropediatrics, the unhealthy use of mobile devices (call computer, tablets, smartphones and video games), both by the children who attend to our consultation as of their own parents. A considerable number of cases show the negative effects of the misuse of such artifacts, ranging from problems of insomnia and irritability, delays and/or difficulties in language, headache, anxiety, inattention and epilepsy due to photosensivity, among others. A qualitative methodology was used, which consisted of a systematization of clinical- practical experiences. The lack of social investment in children; and how technology is covering up other fundamental problems that have to do with abandonment human development are discussed. A program that employs creativity in the development of children is proposed. And a more active participation of pediatricians, not only as educators of the parents of their patients, but in addition to their advocate; to achieve better conditions of attend and care for girls and boys specially those most vulnerable.
