Recently, I saw a report describing a high school student's extreme behavior because he was not allowed to play mobile games, which caused widespread concern in the society. In high school, many children suffer from academic slippage due to addiction to mobile games, which makes parents anxious. In order to kick their children's mobile phone addiction, parents have resorted to various means, from unplugging routers to using mobile apps to control Internet access, and some even consider destroying their children's mobile phones. However, the reality of parents buying their own phones and paying for the internet makes these attempts more difficult.
Mobile game addiction has a negative impact on a child's body, eyes, schoolwork, and life, which has been pointed out in many articles. From the perspective of family education, high school students are in the rebellious period of adolescence, with special brain development and poor self-control. Scientific research has found that during this period, children are easily addicted to mobile phones, alcoholism, drug abuse, etc., and their brain structure has also changed accordingly, and their decision-making ability and emotional control ability are poor. Mobile game addiction can be a threat to a child's life, and there have even been reports of children being paralyzed due to mobile phone addiction.
From the perspective of gamer parents, they believe that mobile games bring a sense of achievement, responsibility, teamwork, and instant feedback to their children. Under the triple attack of the pressure of the college entrance examination, the academic burden and the expectations of parents, mobile games have become an outlet for children to escape reality and obtain satisfaction. Adults are also prone to falling into gaming addiction when faced with stress.
Studies have pointed out that children who are easily addicted to the Internet usually have certain personality, emotional and environmental traits, such as low self-esteem, stress avoidance, emotional problems, etc. Therefore, homeschooling workers make the following recommendations:
1.Increase the opportunity for parent-child interaction: Through multi-faceted communication, understand your child's life, mental anxiety, hobbies, etc., so as to solve your child's addiction problem.
2.Guide children to be "conscious": Tell children to play moderately, time regularly, end games in time, and cultivate good game Xi.
3.Family Meeting: In a loving environment, family members discuss the problem of playing with mobile phones together, analyze the pros and cons, propose solutions, and develop time plans, activity schedules, and punishment mechanisms, etc.
The following questions could be discussed at the family meeting:
1. Time planning: The time plan for playing mobile phones every day.
2. Activity arrangement: the activity arrangement of playing mobile phones every day.
3. What are the allowable penalties when enforcement is not effective.
4. Remind each other of the consensus reached.
4.Role models for parents: Parents should show their determination to control the use of mobile phones in front of their children, and the whole family should follow the rules together to establish a good family atmosphere.
5.Love and patience: During the child's rebellious period, parental care is crucial, helping the child to overcome problems by accepting everything, giving space and patience.
6.Participate in more sports and positive activities: Through sports and training activities, children's enthusiasm for learning and Xi can be stimulated, dreams can be established, and inner motivation can be stimulated.
With practice, these suggestions are often able to solve the problem of mobile game addiction in children. In this process, parents can communicate with each other and work together to find better solutions. If you like this article, please follow and like, your support is my biggest motivation.
