The current state of society today
With the development of science and technology, the proportion of electronic products in life is increasing. Children are exposed to electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, etc. almost from birth.
02
How can I help my child use and touch electronics normally?
0-3 years old: This period of time the child's brain, vision and other development is not perfect, parents should try to avoid children to contact electronic products, too much contact with electronic products will cause harm to brain development and vision. Children should be exposed to more physical things, such as books, toys, etc., and take children out to see the outside world.
Preschool: Children during this time period can give them proper exposure to some electronic products. Watch some picture books on electronic products, play puzzle games, etc. are still helpful to children and can promote brain development.
Primary school - middle school: Children can go to normal contact with electronic products during this period, but do not let children become dependent on electronic products.

What should we do if our children have become obsessed with electronics?
example:
A family of three living in the county, the father has been working outside the home for a long time, and has less communication with the child, usually contacting through telephone and video, and not knowing much about the current situation of the child. Mom opened a small local grocery store, neglected to take care of her children every day because she was busy doing business, and didn't come home until late every day. Children usually have little parental company, for a long time they are alone, they are more exposed to electronic products, they have become dependent on electronic products, and they are currently in the second grade of primary school.
Question 1: In the face of children addicted to electronic products, if you are a parent, what will you do?
1. There are four common types of parental practices:
Negative parents: Children are addicted to electronic products, but also delay learning, we must strictly stop him! Otherwise the child will be finished!
Buddhist parents: Children choose to be young, and when they grow up, they will understand, don't care so much
Reasonable parents: Give your child a good reasoning, the child will listen
Thinking parents: The above methods are not good, I have my own ideas.
2, the right approach: improve the relationship between each other
Understand your child's attitude towards their parents
Improve the relationship between husband and wife
Improve parent-child relationships
Question 2: Through more than a month of improvement, the relationship between family members has been significantly eased, but children still like to play electronic products, at this time, if you are a parent, what will you do?
Negative parents: You see, he still loves to play electronics! Nothing but severely stop it!
Buddhist parents: This is not very good! Kids can play if they want to! How happy everyone is!
Reasonable parents: Tell your children more stories about the hard work of ancient celebrities, and your children will definitely understand!
Thinking Parents: I don't think the three of them say anything well, I have my own ideas.
2, the right way: understand the real child
Ask your child why they love electronics.
What are the children like in the game?
Play electronics with your child.
Question 3: After two weeks of accompanying parents again, they discovered a different side of their children. The other side of the child is very different from what we see, how do we let the child be the real self?
Negative Parents: What a True Self! It's all pretense, it's all about playing with mobile phones and watching pads!
Buddhist parents: So, should I accompany him more?
Reasonable Parents: Isn't this the effect of reasoning?
Thinking Parents: I need to think about it.
2. The right thing to do: start self-expression
Guide your child to talk about the interesting things he experienced in electronics, affirm, encourage and ask questions, and help at the right time.
Keep a journal of these interesting things and share them.
Through another month of improvement, the child is no longer obsessed with electronic products, loves to write and read, and likes to share with parents!
