ABSTRACT

The Internet is a recent boom that occurred in all societies, and it has many advantages such as the ease of finding what we want easily and without effort and fatigue, Internet can help people to learn. In the present times the use of internet and its applications have increased among young children. Our study attempts to review the negatives and risks of child addiction to the Internet, especially in Al Batinah Governorate, and what are the issues and challenges that exist and what are the solutions to eliminate social behavior issues in children?

Our findings show that the negative impact of internet technology on a child can be reduced through effective family care, integrating the child into society, and helping the child make friends.
