Through a mixed-method approach involving surveys, interviews, and observational studies, this research aims to uncover the patterns of mobile use, the contributing factors to addiction, and its effects on children’s development. The paper also highlights the critical role of parental involvement, digital literacy, and policy interventions in mitigating the adverse effects of mobile addiction. By providing a comprehensive analysis, the study seeks to offer practical solutions to prevent and reduce mobile addiction in children, fostering healthier digital habits for future generations.},
