Parents Chapter 30.
Swipe your phone, play tablet, play games. It is estimated that the vast majority of children will be exposed to and carried out to a greater or lesser extent, which is also the most headache for parents in parent-child education.
Nowadays, the online world is becoming more and more developed, and a small electronic device can collect thousands of information in your hands. So for children in the Xi stage of school, how do various electronic products affect their growth?And how do we weigh the pros and cons of the information that electronics bring?
As parents, in this era, we undoubtedly rely on electronic products in many aspects of our life and work, but we are resistant to children's early exposure to electronic products, believing that children's self-control is not enough to use them reasonably and is easy to indulge in. Have we ever really understood the "enemy" of this child's learning Xi?
Electronic products are related products based on electrical energy, and are called electronic products because the early products mainly use electronic tubes as the basic components. From the first generation of electronic products with electron tubes as the core to the current ultra-large-scale integrated circuits with transistors integrated into silicon chips, electronic products are developing in the direction of high efficiency, low consumption, high precision, high stability and intelligence.
Electronic computers are the most typical electronic products, after several iterations of updates, the current ultra-large-scale electronic computers, the running speed has reached millions or even hundreds of millions of times per second.
Closely related to our daily life, in fact, it is the consumer electronic products, such as: TV, DVD player (VCD, SVCD, **VCR, radio, cassette recorder, combination audio, laser record player (CD), computer, game console, mobile communication products, etc. In some developed countries, personal computers, home office equipment, household electronic health care equipment, automotive electronic products, etc. are also classified as consumer electronic products.
Since the late nineties of the twentieth century, information appliances that integrate the three major fields of computers, information and communications, and consumer electronics have begun to penetrate into family life extensively, and they have functions such as audio-visual, information processing, and two-way network communication. Broadly speaking, information appliances include all household appliances that can interact with information through the network system, such as notebooks, PCs, set-top boxes, tablet computers, mobile phones, HPCs, wireless data communication equipment, game equipment, webtv, etc. Audio, **, and communication equipmentIt is the main component of information appliances.
And all these information appliances, in addition to the general screen due to communication needs, their rapid popularity is also due to its rich and diverse entertainment functions: games, shopping, social networking and so on.
And so, our enemies are finally coming out:Screened electronic products with ** entertainment function with Internet access:Mobile phones, game terminals, tablets, computers, etc. Just imagine how much interest a child has in a mobile phone without a screen;If you can't access the Internet, how long can your child play stand-alone games.
Some parents don't understand why their children like to play games on their mobile phones, and they don't want to understand, but they are sure that these electronic products will only bring harm to their children, so they order a ban and try to eliminate all electronic devices with screens with communication properties. Even if individual parents do routinely prohibit it, do they do it?It blocks the child's quick access to information from the Internet, suspends the development of the child's social attributes, and isolates the important channel for the child to communicate with the outside world.
After all, it's just some of the addictive entertainment features in these devices that parents dislike. What we can't deny is their ability to quickly find information and communicate information. To a certain extent, in this era, there is no need for dictionaries and other extracurricular reference books, everything is available on the Internet.
Moreover, under the high pressure of the ban, even if the children do not touch the mobile phone and tablet under the nose of their parents, what about in school and outside the school?Class reunions, family dinners, and leisure from work and Xi, how can it be possible to completely eliminate children's contact with electronic products?And the more parents want to prohibit it, the stronger the child's desire to play, and the intensity of this desire is the same as asking you to stop brushing ** and playing with your mobile phone.
Therefore, we must first accept the reality that "it cannot be forbidden", and on this basis, focus on how to reasonably guide children to use electronic devices correctly.
First of all, children in the Xi stage of school, their "work" is relatively simple, that is, learning Xi. Learning Xi itself is a long-term perseverance, self-discipline and hard work, which causes them to be in a state of difficulty and relative anxiety for a long time. If parents do not keep their children accompanied and encouraged in time, and often take their children to do more activities outside of school and Xi to relieve their pressure, children can easily fall into a difficult and emotionally negative situation. Playing games and swiping your phone is undoubtedly the easiest way to do it, which can bring them timely satisfaction and relieve stress.
Secondly, it is precisely because children learn Xi boring and single, which causes a certain "boredom" in their lives except for learning Xi. They don't need to earn a living, they don't need to account for their household expenses, they don't even need to do housework, they don't have to Xi studying, and they can leave everything else alone. In fact, we should tell our children that learning Xi is very important, but life is bigger, in addition to learning Xi, we should also be responsible for our own life, self-life management, communication with parents and elders, self-care ability, empathy and gratitude, personality quality, etc. When life begins to be full and full, the time allocation and dependence on electronic products will naturally decrease.
Finally, children are still in the stage of growth and development, and their control and self-discipline cannot be compared with **. Adults are free to swipe their phones because they can stop at any time when they have something to do. And the child is not so easy, once into the game or brush on the **, knowing that the time is up, it is time to do other things, but the behavior is often contrary to the idea, always the parents urged several times, the time has long passed, only to reluctantly put down the phone, and the emotional transformation needs more time to adjust.
To sum up, in the current information age, we have no way to completely eliminate children's contact with electronic products, and electronic products are only some addictive entertainment functions that will have a greater impact on children. However, this effect is often greater than we think for children whose physical thinking is not yet mature, and whose learning Xi life is relatively simple.
So, where exactly will this influence be reflected in a child's development?We will continue in the next chapter.
