"If the child, especially at an early age, has been introduced to the gadget, then it is feared the process of mental development and growth will be disrupted."

Darwati reminded, early age is a golden period where children will be very easy to absorb information or knowledge of the environment. According to him the formation of children's character has also started since early childhood.
