The desire to become a social media influencer affects children
You must have seen many videos on social media, in which young children are seen doing amazing acting and they have thousands of likes, comments as well as long fan following. Yes, it is true that they contain talent, but when you see these children in public appearances, they keep their point with great understanding. Do you know what is the reason behind this. Apart from this, it is often showed on social media that someone has bought a luxury car from a large house to a very young age. Seeing this, many more children also seem to be an influencer to get fame at an early age and to live a lavish life, and this is why more people are incarnated for it, sometimes parents promote children for it, but this is losing children’s childhood somewhere.
While social media is affecting urban children, the children of the village are no longer untouched by this. Not only keeping the reel scrolling, but also the desire to become an influencer in the mind is also affecting the children. We talked to experts about this, who has told how to deal with the loss of running in the race to become a social media influencer. Let’s understand this with details.
There is more effect on children
From Dolly Chai Wala to Monalisa. There are many people who have become famous overnight, as well as they have been seen living a good lavish life. In such a situation, this idea also comes in the minds of the elders, from doing so much hard work in studies to struggle with career…. Is all this useless. At the same time, the mind of children is very fickle and soft. They learn what they see. This age is of their physical and mental development, so everything affects children more.
Why is there a competition to become an influencer?
Dr. Nilesh Gupta, a psychologist at Canwin Arogyadham Hospital, Gurugram, says that nowadays the trend of social media has increased considerably. Children also run phones, because of this they too remain active on social media. Because of this, the things that are fed in this digital world also affect them. When the children see that some influencers are very popular or are living a good lifestyle, they get a lot of likes on their posts, they also think that it is a short cut of fame and money, so they are vying to become influencers.
What is the effect?
Dr. Nilesh Gupta says that this makes the child’s self -steam low, because they are dependent on the likes and comments, like less likes have come or bad comments are coming. Apart from this, in today’s time, identity crisis is also going on a lot like the image that remains on social media, due to this real life is also affected. The child does not understand that he wants to make a career by studying or wants to become influencer, because it also has to work continuously.
Mental pressure for the desire to become perfect
Experts say that when the desire to become an influencer or becomes popular, children can be sensible ahead of time and this is a very short lasting career. It is very difficult to achieve success by making a career in the long term. Because of this, mentally pressure increases, because children want perfection on their performance, but this cannot always happen. However, children do not understand this and get upset about this that we have not made a perfect reel or we are not able to do any work compared to others.

Missing out phobo victim
Dr. Nilesh says that there is a feeling in children that if I do not become an influencer…. Because of this, they are also seen in them (what they speak Phobo), which also makes the children fall prey to depression. When the workload increases to become an influencer, it is due to what is in the trend or how many likes and comments are coming… It causes digital burnouts and becomes anxiety.
What are the parents in mind
Experts say that parents should take care that they should not become the brand influencer manager of children, but give them guidance by becoming their parents. Promote sports, because the childhood of children in social media is like living with the rest of the friends and losing real social interactions. In such a situation, parents should incarnate children to play outdoor games instead of getting in the phone. This will keep mental as well as physical health well. Parents should talk to their children daily about what problem they are facing. Along with this, physical activity should be done by not running the phone in front of the children themselves. Social media should set a limit. At least 13 years of age, a child should be kept away from social media so that their mental development can be done properly.
