Are children simply fascinated by phones?

I find children are so perturbing often times. Much as they are little and adorable, one can’t help but wonder at what goes on in their minds. However, their love for gadgets often leaves me wondering at what they find fascinating with mobile phones.

One simple hold of a telephone, the immediate response a child will give is placing the phone on the ear and speaking something understandable to species of their kind. After that, they will flash a smile to the adult.

But this is a particular age group and the much more toddlers will get the phone and the immediate action is placing the phone in their mouths.

I wonder what makes them do that. Not to judge them though because they are being children though I cannot figure out a justifiable excuse for putting the phone in the mouth. Does the phone look that appealing to their taste buds? One cannot tell.

The funny response though is when an adult tries to scare them away or divert their attention from putting the phone in the mouth, a child will cry. So will they if a phone is taken away from them.

However, to my notice, most mothers usually have a simple phone for making the child keep quiet and the smart phone is used when the child falls asleep.
But what mystery surrounds the phone and the child? They do not know how to use a phone but give it to them and they will be your friends for as long as you let them hold your phone.

Precaution though should be taken because unless your phone is a simple one that does not get destroyed by saliva or will function normally after a tantrum throw on the floor, it should be kept away from a child. Smart phones are quite delicate unless you are willing to take the risk and let your child spoil the phone you are carrying now.

However, at a later age, it is quite amazing at how the children will use a phone better than the actual owner. This comes with them unlocking even the hardest password at least they will keep trying until they fail. (This is rare by the way.)

Unless the phone does not crack or get spoilt on its first throw, my precaution is and always will be, my phone is MINE. The child will get when they grow up unless they are posing for a photo, only then can we share the phone.
