Flip the concept of mobile phone education, so that children can acquire knowledge through short videos
Preface
Recently, my son and I had some conflicts because of a phone problem. My son is in junior high school, and since he has a mobile phone, he has no interest in learning, he is addicted to all kinds of short videos and games all day long, his grades have plummeted, and he has less and less time to communicate with me.
Every time I mentioned his studies and mobile phone problems, he would talk back to me with a straight face, and sometimes even lose his temper, and our conflicts became more and more intense, which made me have a headache.
I know that today's children can't do without mobile phones, and the attraction of mobile phones to them is really too great, and it is even more difficult to get them not to indulge in them.
However, as parents, we can't sit idly by and watch our children's future ruined on mobile phones, so I have been looking for ways to guide children to use mobile phones correctly, so that they can acquire knowledge and stimulate their interest in learning through mobile phones.
Recently, I heard a story that caught my eye, and I thought that this method might help me, and maybe I could share it with more parents and friends, let's take a look.
Children are addicted to mobile phones, and parents have no idea where to start
After my son entered junior high school, the pressure of learning became more and more intense, and he was no longer the child who was full of enthusiasm for learning, and he felt headaches and irritability in front of thick textbooks all day long, and his academic performance plummeted.
In order to make him learn better, I had an in-depth communication with him, hoping to find the root of the problem, but found that his troubles were not because of learning, but because he felt that the knowledge he learned and what happened around him had nothing to do with him, and he felt that this knowledge was instilled in him by teachers and parents, and had nothing to do with his interests and hobbies.
However, when I saw the curious and enthusiastic look in his eyes as he indulged in his phone, I suddenly understood that maybe he just lacked a suitable way and way to learn, but we never found it.
However, the attraction of mobile phones is really too great for him now, he is addicted to them, and he can't extricate himself at all, how can I free him from his mobile phone?
In the case of a friend, Xueba's son also plays with his mobile phone
Just when I was worried about my son's problem, I suddenly thought of a friend of mine, her son, like my son, is also a top student, and he loves mobile phones as much as my son, but he has not delayed his studies because of playing with his mobile phone, but can still achieve good results in all aspects.
This made me very curious, so I had an in-depth exchange with my friend, hoping to find some solutions and experiences from her.
After communicating with her, I learned that she has been guiding and encouraging her son to learn to control the mobile phone, instead of blindly forbidding him to use it, she believes that the mobile phone is not the root of all evil, as long as it is used correctly, it can also be a good helper for children's learning and growth.
Therefore, she will recommend some interesting and educational accounts for her son, such as Teacher Zang, Teacher Li Yongle, Peng Zhimo, etc., the content shared in these accounts is not only interesting, but also can stimulate children's curiosity and interest in learning, so that he can learn a lot of knowledge unconsciously.
It turns out that the reason why her son can achieve good grades in all aspects is inseparable from her guidance and training, and her son also knows how to use the mobile phone correctly, so that the mobile phone becomes a part of his study and life, not the whole thing, so that even if he is addicted to it, it will not have much impact on his life and study.
Short videos become an educational resource that changes the way children learn
Through my friend's case, I have a deeper understanding of how to correctly guide children to use mobile phones, and I also understand that in order to keep children from being addicted to mobile phones, we cannot blindly restrict and prohibit them, but should fundamentally solve the problem, so that children can understand how to use mobile phones correctly, so that mobile phones become a part of his learning and life, not all.
And short video, can be a big helper for us, it contains a lot of content, whether it is learning, life or hobbies, can be found in it, moreover, these content forms are vivid and interesting, it is easy to attract children's attention, so that he unconsciously learns a lot of knowledge.
In fact, short videos have quietly become an educational resource, and many professional teachers and institutions will share some meaningful educational content on it, such as scientific experiments, historical stories, literary masterpieces, etc., and these contents are carefully made and packaged, which are very vivid and interesting, which can well attract children's attention and allow him to gain knowledge and inspiration in it.
For example, I heard of an associate professor of psychology who shared a lot of content about psychology on the short video platform, although it was only a few minutes, but through vivid cases and vivid explanations, he made children have a strong interest in psychology, and he was able to learn a lot of knowledge from it, which inspired his own growth and learning.
In this way, I think that maybe I can also help my son in this way, so that he can understand that it is not necessary to be boring to face thick books, he can learn all kinds of knowledge through short videos, and this knowledge may be more vivid and interesting than the knowledge in books, and it will be more inspiring and helpful to him.
Guide children to use mobile phones correctly to stimulate their interest in learning
So, at the suggestion of a friend, I began to try to recommend some interesting and educational short videos to my son, such as some popular science videos, food making videos, animal worlds, etc., I watched these videos with him, and had some in-depth exchanges and discussions with him, hoping to stimulate his curiosity and interest in learning.
At first, he was a little resistant, feeling that this kind of learning method and way was not reliable, but as the content we watched became more and more interesting, he was gradually attracted to it, and began to discuss the knowledge and content in the video with me, and took the initiative to find some videos that he was interested in and share them with me.
Moreover, through this way of learning, his academic performance has slowly improved, it turned out that he has always had a headache and incomprehensible knowledge of some scientific knowledge and historical knowledge, but through the visual explanation and vivid demonstration of short videos, he actually understood it easily, and he was full of curiosity and interest, which made me very gratified.
I also understand that the child is not averse to learning, he just needs a suitable way and way of learning, and he needs us to guide and help him, so that he understands that learning is not a boring thing, but can find fun and inspiration in a variety of places and things.
epilogue
Through this period of trial and observation, I also slowly found a way to communicate and communicate with my son, and also made him understand how to use mobile phones correctly, how to acquire knowledge through mobile phones, and stimulate his interest in learning.
I think, in fact, learning to control mobile phones and short videos is not only the need of children, but also the responsibility of our parents and educators, we should grow up with our children, learn together, and explore this colorful world together.
In this digital era, we should keep pace with the times, embrace new technologies, and make good use of Internet resources, so that high-quality educational content and resources can better enter children's lives and learning.
The short video platform may become a treasure trove for us, which contains a variety of content and knowledge, and we should actively explore and promote these resources, so that children can get more inspiration and help in it.
Of course, we can't blindly worship short videos, but we should know how to distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, and choose some high-quality content and resources, which also requires the joint efforts of our parents and teachers.
Only in this way can the knowledge and inspiration obtained by the child in the short video really become a great help for his learning and growth, and can also bring him more positive energy and influence.
Finally, I would also like to say to all parents and friends that no matter what kind of problems and confusions we encounter, we should not give up easily, but face and solve them with our children, give them more understanding and encouragement, so that they can thrive and become responsible and affectionate people under our company and guidance.
At the same time, I also hope that more parents and friends can flip the concept of mobile education like me, so that children can gain knowledge through short videos, get more inspiration and help from them, and share your views and experiences with others, so that we can learn and grow with each other.
