SCHOOL FOR PARENTS: The impact of technology on children.
In the modern world of digital technology it is impossible to imagine people without devices. Cell phones, tablets, computers, an integral part of our lives.
Parents are always an example for a child, especially in childhood. Children look at mom and dad, see the media in their hands and are interested in them.
In our time, it is impossible to protect a son or daughter from the device. But parents can regulate their presence in their children's lives or let the situation take its course. However, everything needs an average gold.
Already in the elementary grades, students need to know about a computer and a cell phone. So you can not completely abandon electronic devices. But that is what parents need to control the lives of children. So the use of appliances must be supervised by mom and dad.
PROS AND AGAINST THE USE OF GADGETS
The positive impact of modern devices on children.
- First, telephones and tablets help to distract the child from prolonged occupations. A tired child sitting in a place gets tired, begins to get nervous, capricious. He wants to run, jump, and he's fine, he's a boy. This is where electronic devices come to the rescue. You give him a gadget and now the child is already busy playing or drawing on a netbook.
- Second, in our time a great development is to obtain digital education. The books and manuals gradually fade into the background, giving way to computer games and mobile applications. They teach preschool children to read, count, draw. They help to develop your memory, attention, logical thinking. There are also educational cartoons that tell a child about nature, the world, the universe, about the world around him.
The negative impact of appliances on a child's life.
Now the children are almost in their childhood sitting on social networks. They spend so much time on the computer that they gradually "get lost" on Facebook and Instagram. The child is so interested in virtual communication that he forgets about homework, a walk in the yard and, sometimes, even dinner!
Also, there is a lot of cruelty on the internet. YouTube is full of aggressive videos and horror movies. Other sites also contain information harmful to the child. Rarely, but sometimes it affects the baby's psyche. You can start treating everything with hostility. In this case, the task of the parents is to protect the child from the computer or observe what they are looking for in the network.
Do not forget the negative impact. First, it refers to the negative impact on children's eyesight. In addition, those children who constantly spend time behind the devices, move less. And this is bad for your musculoskeletal system.
A child on a laptop often sits with a tilt, and this leads to a curvature of the spine. Parents must in this case dispense the time the child spends behind electronic devices. For example, limit the period of permanence in the computer.
Make sure the baby moves more. Come with a joint lesson: a walk in the city or a cooking dinner. Then the child will not have time for the devices. And the hours spent with the family are always better than the hours spent on the laptop.
WHEN CAN CHILDREN USE APPLIANCES?
Almost from childhood, the child begins to get involved in the outside world. The baby is actively developing and growing. In this process, they are not virtual incentives, but the real objects must come to their aid. Toys that can be touched, plants that can be smelled, stories of parents that can be heard.
Experts believe that it is better to familiarize children with various devices after three years. During this period, the child formed conscious actions. But it is necessary to reduce communication with the phone or ipad. A child of 3-4 years is enough no more than one hour per day, a child of 5-6 years is not more than two hours per day.
