As a measure for parents to try to solve the problem of mobile phone addiction, the mobile phone sealing ceremony does show the helplessness and worry of parents to a certain extent. This ritual usually involves parents sealing their child's phone as a form of punishment or corrective action for their child's excessive use of the phone.
From a psychological point of view, a child's over-reliance on mobile phones may stem from a variety of factors, such as lack of self-control, seeking social validation, escapist stress, etc. Parents may feel helpless when faced with this problem, because mobile phones play an important role in modern society, it is unrealistic to completely ban children from using mobile phones, and excessive indulgence may exacerbate children's mobile phone addiction.
The "phone closure ceremony" can be seen as a symbolic act to send a clear message to children that excessive use of mobile phones is not acceptable. Through this ritual, parents try to make their children aware of the negative effects of mobile phone use and stimulate their motivation for self-reflection and change.
However, relying solely on the "mobile phone closure ceremony" may not be enough to fundamentally solve the problem of children's mobile phone addiction. Parents need to take more comprehensive and systematic measures, such as in-depth communication with their children, formulating reasonable rules for using mobile phones, and providing a wealth of alternative activities to guide their children to use mobile phones healthily.
In addition, parents also need to reflect on their own behavior, whether they use mobile phones excessively in front of their children, and whether they give their children enough attention and companionship. Because children's behavior is often influenced by parents, parents' words and deeds are crucial to children's development.
In short, although the "mobile phone closure ceremony" shows the helplessness of parents to their children's mobile phone addiction, it should be regarded as an opportunity for guidance and education, rather than a simple means of punishment. Through reasonable guidance and education, parents can help their children establish healthy mobile phone usage habits and promote their healthy growth.
