Summary: Today, cell phones are how teenagers communicate. Most teens and even adults can go a few hours without their cell in their pocket. It’s crazy to think that these modern devices can cause behavioral problems for young children. Studies say that children that were exposed to cell phones either in the womb of their mother or after they were born up until the age of seven were at higher risk of behavioral problems. Researchers analyzed more than 28,000 children and more than 10 percent of them had mothers that spoke on the phone twice a day or even more and 50 percent had their phones turned on the whole day. The more a mother would use her cell phone the greater the risk of behavioral problems. It is very hard to believe that such a thing can cause damage to your behavior but they said that cell phones could have led up to a mother’s metabolism and could affect the brain of the fetus. This is very important to take account of since cell phones are used in our everyday lives. Women need to be aware of our cell phone usage when pregnant.
