I'm here to send health
With the development of modern science and technology, more and more electronic products have entered people's lives, from TVs, to computers, tablets, and mobile phones, what impact these products will have on children while enriching and facilitating people's lives, and how to guide children to use them correctly is a problem that modern families have to face.
Electronic products such as TVs and mobile phones have become a part of daily life. Although children can learn some knowledge and skills from them, parents also have more time to do their own things while children focus on these electronic screens. However, electronic screens are not a substitute for children's reading and playing, and the adverse effects on children are also obvious.
1.Not all shows are suitable for kids.
TV shows inevitably contain sex, drugs, tobacco and alcohol, etc., which are often difficult for these children to understand and distinguish correctly. Even animated programs often have some violent and exaggerated elements, which affect children's correct understanding of life. Subtly, it will have a bad impact on children.
Toys and food in TV or mobile phone commercials can become the target of children's pursuit, and if they are not satisfied, children may sometimes feel lost or dissatisfied, although these are not necessarily healthy and beneficial.
2.Affect your child's time outdoors.
* These electronic products allow children to sit quietly for a long time and reduce children's outdoor activity time, which is closely related to the occurrence of obesity. All children need to be active, not only physically, but also to develop life skills and life experience, and to develop creativity, collaboration and communication skills.
3.Screen exposure and language development.
A growing body of research has shown that watching TV for long periods of time does not promote language development, but on the contrary, it often has a negative impact on children's language development. Language development often takes place in communication, and children with long screen screens, due to the lack of interaction with other people, sometimes do not understand the meaning of language, but cannot speak, or are not accustomed to interacting with other people in language.
A recent domestic study also showed that screen exposure significantly affects early childhood social-emotional performance, and there is a dose-response effect, that is, the longer the time, the greater the impact on children; The resulting reduction in parent-child interaction is an important indirect factor in the impairment of children's social-emotional development by screen exposure. The study was the first in the world to report that an excessively rapid increase in early screen exposure can lead to a decrease in children's IQ by 7-8 points. On this basis, the project team also found that under the premise of consistent screen exposure time, the negative impact of educational programs on children's mental health was relatively small, and the negative impact of non-children's programs was the largest. However, for preschoolers, screen exposure of more than 1 hour, regardless of their program, is a risk factor for children to develop psychological and behavioral problems.
In general, your child's screen exposure should be limited to 1-2 hours per day. TV and mobile phones should not be used as a substitute for partners and nannies, and they should not be allowed to become the easiest pastime for children. Parents should set an example in this regard and let their children realize that this is only a small part of life and that happiness is not just obtained from TV and mobile phones. Reading, playing, and outdoor activities with your child can enhance the parent-child relationship and grow up healthily. If you watch TV, you should also try to accompany your child, choose a program that is suitable for your child, and discuss the content of the program with your child, so that your child can also learn useful things from it.
