A child's Thinner Skull can let Radiation Penetrate Deeper into their Developing Brain Kids can Absorb to...

Have you ever considered how much radiation a child’s brain absorbs from everyday wireless devices? New research shows that because a child’s skull is thinner and still developing, it allows far more radiation to reach the brain compared to adults. Experts at the University of Utah warn that smartphones, tablets, and similar devices may be exposing young, developing neural tissue at much deeper levels than previously thought.

This makes children especially vulnerable. Their thinner bone structure, higher water content, and ongoing brain development increase sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. Early studies suggest potential links between this exposure and issues with sleep, focus, and long-term cognitive health—though more research is underway.

The message isn’t to fear technology, but to use it wisely. Simple adjustments like using speakerphone, reducing close contact, and encouraging screen breaks can go a long way in protecting young brains. Understanding the science behind radiation exposure is the first step toward building safer digital habits for kids.
