Аннотация
This article brings to the fore the influence of gadgets on preschoolers, as well as their effects on behavior and
self-esteem. The article presents the influence of gadgets in the child’s development, being a determining factor for
the conflictive, aggressive behaviors that appeared at a given moment in preschoolers. The effects of virtual violence
on children are presented, studies that highlight the adverse effects of gadgets used at a young age. Through a study,
we highlighted the influence of the virtual world on the preschooler’s self-image, because self-esteem influences the
conflicting behaviors that appear among preschoolers. The research showed, along with other studies, the negative
influence of gadgets on the preschool child, as long as the time allocated to them exceeds a certain threshold and the
content of the viewed materials is not in a relationship congruent with the degree of maturation of the body and the
cognitive and affective potential of the user.
Keywords: conflicts, preschoolers, gadgets, kindergarden, self-esteem.
