*Under Digital Threat: Muslim Children’s Spirituality*
The rapid advancement in technology means we are the first generation of parents who must navigate how to effectively manage our children’s relationship with digital devices.
In the Muslim community, however, we must consider the additional layer of how heavy technology use may taint the spiritual development of the children we hope to nurture into confident and productive believers.
The commonly accepted perils of heavy tech use for kids include:
*Increased inattention*
impulsivity, and poor short-term memory, leading to behavioural and learning difficulties
– Relationship and social skills issues. Frequent device usage leads to a decrease in real-time offline activities with family and friends
*Exposure to inappropriate content*, whether in the form of violence, pornography, or disinformation. Unfiltered content can harm children who do not have the intellectual or emotional capacity to critically engage with the content they are consuming
*Sleep problems*.
Using devices before bed means blue light emitted from screens interferes with the sleep cycle in the brain and can lead to long-term insomnia
*Issues with fine motor skills*, affecting coordination, handwriting, and sports that involve hand-eye coordination
*Obesity* (already on the rise in young children) is a heightened risk due to sedentary device use taking the place of traditional recreation.
For children, digital technology is often their first exposure to addictive media, so the way in which they are taught to manage this responsibly can set them up for their future experiences as an adult, whether it is mastering discipline or being thrown head-first into the pitfalls of addiction. All of these topics have been discussed by leaders in the fields of child development, education, and technology, and it is a duty upon us as parents to be cognisant of them.
However, the focus of this article is on another avenue of potential harm: how digital tech can seriously hinder a Muslim child’s spiritual and emotional development.

Under Digital Threat: Muslim Children’s Spirituality
By now, most parents know about the dangers of heavy tech use for children. For Muslim parents, we must also consider how the hyperstimulation and instant gratification of digital tech may be seriously damaging our children's spiritual growth.

What's the 20-20-20 rule?
If you find yourself gazing at screens all day, your eye doctor may have mentioned this rule to you. Basically, every 20 minutes spent using a screen, you should try to look away at something that is 20 feet away from you for a total of 20 seconds.
Teachers, parents, basically everyone should be doing the 20 20 rule every 20 minutes.
Actively make your children do it....And help protect their eyesight 👁️
