Protecting Kids from Device Radiation

Here is something most parents never hear. A child can absorb more radiation from

the same device than an adult because their skulls are thinner and their tissues are still

developing. When a phone or tablet rests against a child's body, the energy enters

more easily and reaches deeper. Real measurements show that distance works in a child's

favor even more than it does for adults. A few extra inches can mean a meaningful

drop in exposure. Think about daily habits, tablets on laps, phones tucked against

small chests, devices held tight against the head during long calls. The simplest fix

is not dramatic. Keep devices off the body. Place tablets on a table.
