Focus on "Sun Chasing Education"
Every day, I read about the methods, practicalities, and scientific parenting dry goods
The World Health Organization has published a report on recommendations for young children's exposure to electronic screen time. According to the report, some surveys have shown that children are exposed to electronic screens for too long, which can cause parents to have difficulties in managing their children's emotions and time. The report recommends that young children under 2 years of age should not be exposed to any electronic screens, and children aged 2-5 years should not be exposed to electronic screens for more than an hour per day.
The World Health Organization is concerned that excessive screen time in children under 5 years of age, combined with sedentary behavior, can lead to sleep deprivation and low activity levels.
So, the report, Titled "World Health Organization: Children Need to Sit Less and Play More for Healthy Growth," suggests that children under 5 years of age who want to grow up healthily must spend less time sitting down to look at screens or being confined to strollers and seats, get higher quality sleep, and have more time to play actively.
Kids of all ages
How to use electronics
In fact, electronic products are like a double-edged sword. As adults, many of us can't resist the temptations of electronics, let alone children.
So, how should our children use electronic products, what degree should we grasp, how to teach children to use electronic products reasonably, and how to prevent children from overindulging in them?
Children of different ages should be given different interventions.
1-3 years old: Try not to let your child touch the phone
Why can't I reach my phone in early childhood? First of all, the retina of young children can not be fully developed until the age of 12, and before that, they should try to contact mobile phone electronic products as little as possible.
Secondly, some experts said that the more children who are exposed to electronic products at the age of two or three, the greater the possibility of attention disorder at the age of seven or eight.
So, what should parents do if the family has children aged 1-3 years?
1. Parents try not to play with their phones in front of their children. Interact more with your child, take the initiative to update your child's toys, etc.
2. Parents should not download games on their mobile phones in case their children ask for mobile phones to play because of game addiction.
3. If the child is curious about the mobile phone, you can demonstrate to the child to make a call, send voice, take photos, etc., to establish the child's correct understanding of the use of the mobile phone.
3-6 years old: Try not to expose your child to mobile games
Many parents will occasionally throw their children to mobile games to "take care of" in order to try to clean up for a while. But 3-6-year-old children are still young, lack of self-control, and once exposed to games, they are highly addictive.
Therefore, children of this age can properly contact mobile phones, such as letting children understand that mobile phones can make calls, chat with people, videos and other basic purposes, but must stay away from mobile games.
If you have a 3-6 year old child at home, the correct thing to do is this:
1. Parents and family phones try to delete games, music, videos and other apps that will attract children. Even if the child wants to play with the mobile phone, in addition to flipping through the photo album and taking pictures, he will not find it interesting, and naturally will not always pestering his parents to play with the mobile phone.
2. Actively cultivate children's reading habits. Read children's books with your child.
3. Enrich your child's life experience. Take your children out to experience nature and encourage them to make more friends.
7-12 years old: It is not advisable to suppress the problem of mobile phones
Many children of this age group have begun to enter the rebellious period.
Children in the rebellious period, with a strong sense of self and independence, will become stubborn and grumpy.
In the face of children's addiction to mobile phones, many parents commonly use parental identity to pressure and threaten with parent-child relationships. For example, some parents say to their children: "I said that I am not allowed to play, I am not allowed to play!" "If you play any more, you won't have enough to eat!" "I don't want you anymore!"
In fact, this method does more harm than good. In the long run, it will not only seriously damage the parent-child relationship, but also aggravate the child's dependence and addiction to mobile phones.
For children at this stage, we can do this:
1. Negotiate with your child to stipulate the length and number of times to play with the mobile phone. As a rule that must be observed, if violated, housework can be taken as a means of punishment.
2. Parents should be aware of their emotions and motivations. The goal is "the child stops playing mobile games", not "the child obediently stops playing mobile games". Children are allowed to complain and cry.
3. Parents should try to understand their children's feelings and positions. For example, if parents want their children to be able to complete their homework before playing on their phones, instead of saying, "Do your homework now," but say, "I know this game is fun, but you have to complete your homework first." I watch you finish the game, and then you do your homework, okay? ”
12-18 years old: Appropriate intervention to guide children to make rational use of mobile phones
Children in this age group, in the prelude to puberty, have a higher level of ideological cognition, and have already possessed certain self-control and self-management capabilities. Parents should insist on appropriate intervention and rational use. Direct confiscation or angry yelling, or even a violent beating, is a practice that cures the symptoms but not the root causes.
Electronic products are like a double-edged sword, which can hurt children, but they can also help children, and the key lies in how to use them.
1. Pay more attention to the child's psychological and behavioral changes, and give the child a certain amount of personal space.
2. After having communication and trust, negotiate with your child to formulate rules for playing mobile phones, such as whether you can take them to school to play, when you can play with your mobile phone, how long you can play at a time, and what kind of punishment will be imposed if you time out.
3. Correctly view the positive effect of children's use of mobile phones and guide children to make reasonable use of mobile phones. For example, it is more convenient to read e-books on mobile phones, and mobile phones search for learning information.
Some common problems in real life,
For our reference
Maybe after watching so much, really doing it, many parents are still very headaches. How do you find a balance between parents personally accompanying their children and letting their children use electronics?
These common problems in reality are worth learning from.
1. The child has been playing with the mobile phone for a long time, do not let him play, cry and make a big fuss, what to do?
How to solve this problem?
1. Stipulate the time for children to use electronic products;
Second, you can remind your child in advance how much time is left, so that he can talk to count.
The attraction of electronic products to children is very large, 10 minutes have passed at once, so remind the child in advance and let him have a time to prepare for the end, which is easier for the child to accept.
Of course, the length of time to use electronic products does not have to be so dead, some programs are longer, twenty or thirty minutes, it does not hurt to see, but the total length of the day is best not more than 1 hour.
As long as this rule is maintained, the child will gradually get used to it, which is also good for cultivating the child's self-control, after all, the child has no self-control, or parents need to help the child abide by the rules in life.
2. Children with mobile phones and computers will only play games, what to do?
When children use electronic products, they can teach children to understand the advantages of electronic products, so that children can learn new knowledge through electronic products.
For example, the map function of the mobile phone, when taking the child out in normal times, can guide the child to use the map to query the travel mode, guide the child to query the nearby attractions and food through the mobile phone software, and let the child connect the information in the electronic products with real life.
In addition to such functions, children can also learn the practical functions of taking pictures, videos, weather forecasts, WeChat voice messages and other practical functions that are closely related to life.
In addition, parents can help their children choose some educational programs, such as animal world, can watch with their children, and from time to time ask the children, what is this animal, what is it, and explain it to the child.
In ordinary times, read some relevant picture books, take the child to the zoo, then the information received by the child from different sources is all combined.
3. What should children do if they are bored without watching TV or playing with their mobile phones?
If this is the case, then in addition to using electronic products, it is necessary for children to cultivate some hobbies and arrange rich recreational activities.
For example, learning to draw, learning to play chess, etc., need to practice every day, but also cultivate children's concentration and patience; or take children to climb mountains, swim, so that children exercise wholeheartedly; as well as parent-child reading, parent-child games, these are beneficial activities that can help children develop comprehensively.
4. I have done all of the above, but the habit of children playing mobile phones is still forbidden, what to do?
Children's exposure to electronic screens is repeatedly prohibited, and in the final analysis, parents and children jointly cultivate.
Previously, a survey report entitled "Survey Report on the Current Situation of Family Media Literacy Cognition in the New Media Era" was released in Beijing, and the survey subjects were junior high school students in Beijing.
The data shows that children mostly use mobile phones or tablets to access the Internet for less than three hours a day, while 7.6% of parents use more than 6 hours a day.
On August 30, 2018, the Ministry of Education, the National Health Commission and other 8 departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents", which mentioned that parents should minimize the use of electronic products when accompanying their children.
Consciously control children, especially preschool children, the use of electronic products, non-learning purposes of electronic products should not exceed 15 minutes at a time, the accumulation of daily accumulation should not exceed 1 hour, after using electronic products to learn for 30-40 minutes, you should rest and relax for 10 minutes, the younger the age, the shorter the time for continuous use of electronic products.
Teacher's suggestion: As parents, we must lead by example, set a good example for children, accompany children as much as possible, and grow up healthy and happy with children.
