Children play with mobile phones and tablets too much, which has a negative impact on their growth and development. This truth, ask 10 mothers, 10 know. Okay, please do the question:
Scenario 1: Meet and eat with friends. The child could not sit still for half an hour, let him run on his own in the hotel, and was afraid of bumping into it, and afraid of encountering the danger of hot soup and hot water.
Scene two: Getting up at home from eight o'clock in the morning during the holidays, making breakfast, waiting for the children to eat breakfast and getting dressed, taking the baby out to run in the park, and coming back for lunch, it is too tired. At noon, the child does not want to take a nap.
You know everything! There is a wood!
Many mothers have found that no matter how noisy their children are, as long as they get their mobile phones, they can be quiet in an instant.
It is really difficult for mothers to refuse this temptation, and since then, mobile phones have become the "top secret weapons" of many mothers to coax babies.
However, this "top-secret weapon" is used too much, and it will really "overturn" - what is the impact of children exposed to electronic products for a long time?
Electronics = "Electronic Nanny"?
Excessive use by children does more harm than good!
In the long run, children's prolonged exposure to electronics does more harm than good:
Not conducive to language development
The information presented in the electronic products changes too quickly, and the child has no time to think about it, and then enters the next picture. The child is in the mode of receiving information for a long time, and the brain's thinking will be sluggish.
And electronic products are one-way output, children do not have the process of imitation and interaction, which is very detrimental to language learning.
Not conducive to social establishment
Psychologists believe that children need to observe changes in other people's faces in order to understand the emotions of others, so as to form good communication and promote friendly relationships.
In electronic products, the characters are mostly virtual characters with a single expression, and they will not produce timely and effective feedback to the child, in addition, when the child is accustomed to the accompaniment of electronic products, the willingness to actively communicate with the people around him will be lower and lower.
These are very detrimental to the child's social development.
Not conducive to vision development
Children who use electronic products for a long time and stare at the display for too long can lead to excessive use of their eyes.
Television programs, game images, etc., the speed of change is fast, the picture is flashing, the child stares for a long time, causing the excitement of the visual center to increase, which will cause the child to blink frequently, rub his eyes, and affect the development of vision.
Emphasis on "farsighted reserves"
Don't overdraft it!
When it comes to the impact of electronic products on vision, many experts will mention the concept of "farsighted reserve", but many parents still feel very strange.
What is a farsighted reserve?
Children who are farsighted before the age of 10, or even before the age of 12, are hyperopia, called "physiological farsightedness" or "hyperopia reserves," which are reserved abilities to protect and prevent myopia from occurring.
The child's eyeball development is a process of hyperopia to orthopedic eyes, if too much eye is used at close range during the development process, the eye axis is asymmetrically and excessively grows, resulting in excessive development of the eyeball, low hyperopia reserve value, and easy to develop into myopia.
If the child's degree of hyperopia is less than the range of farsighted reserves that should be at this age, that is to say, the child's farsighted reserves decline, then the child's eyes are likely to develop too fast in the direction of myopia, which should arouse the attention of parents.
Just like saving money in the bank, the child's farsighted reserves are insufficient, similar to the balance of the bank account has been insufficient, if it is used unrestrainedly, the "reserve" is spent, and the child becomes myopic.
Cherish the "farsighted reserve"
Help children "see" the future
Control eye time, not only control the use of electronic products
It is recommended that children use electronic products for no more than 1 hour per day, no more than 15 minutes at a time, and the younger they are, the shorter the use time.
Reading and writing should take a 10-minute break every 45 minutes or so, and you can't use your eyes at close range for a long time.
Some children complain: Parents think that I will be short-sighted when I watch TV for two hours, but I think it is no problem for me to do homework for an afternoon - the child's complaint is justified! Don't spend too much time with your eyes.
Regular check-ups and standardized vision corrections
Generally every 3 months to half a year should be given to the child to check the vision and refractive conditions, when the vision is lower than the average level of normal children of the same age, it is necessary to go to the ophthalmology department for further treatment.
Take your kids outdoors
In fact, children don't really have to look at electronic products, but need something more interesting to satisfy their eager curiosity.
Take your kids outdoors! Studies have shown that outdoor activities of 2 hours a day or 10 hours per week can effectively prevent the occurrence of myopia. It would be better if you could accumulate more than 15 hours per week.
When children are released in outdoor sports and their desire to explore is satisfied, they will naturally no longer be obsessed with watching videos in electronic products. Therefore, with the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation, do not continue to stay at home, take more children to walk around and play outside, there is no harm.
Pay attention to a balanced diet
Let the child adhere to a balanced diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less sweets.
High-quality nutrients help children have a "bright" color future, it is recommended to add to children in daily life!
