Watching TV for more than 1 hour a day, the changes in children after 3 years are amazing! I regret seeing it

\”If you can prevent children from watching TV before they are 12 years old, they will benefit for life.\” -Martin Lawson When I was shopping last weekend, I ran into my friend Sister Wei. Because the shopping place was very close to Sister Wei\’s house, I decided to Invited to sit at Sister Wei\’s house. As soon as I entered the door, I heard an unharmonious voice coming from the TV, \”Come on! Kill these idiots!\” After Sister Wei welcomed me in, she quickly walked to the living room and found that her 4-year-old son was watching the anti-Japanese drama with his grandfather. He was watching it with gusto, his eyes unblinking, and his mouth uttering silly giggles from time to time. He didn\’t notice at all. Mom has come back. Sister Wei asked me to sit down. The old man saw me coming and greeted me warmly, but the child was still immersed in the world of the TV series and did not come back to his senses at all. Sister Wei was a little angry and asked her son to say hello to me. As a result, her son turned around and called \”Auntie\” very perfunctorily, and immediately started watching TV again. After a while, Sister Wei asked her son: \”How long have you been looking at it?\” The son had no reaction at all. However, grandpa came to his senses first and answered for his little grandson: \”I watched it after getting up from lunch break. The weather was not good today, so I didn\’t take him out for a walk. There happened to be a TV series he loved to watch, and now he is watching it.\” , You have been so good all afternoon.\” I saw Sister Wei\’s expression change immediately, but because of the old man\’s face and my reputation as an outsider, she didn\’t say anything and just took me to the kitchen to prepare dinner. While preparing dinner, we also chatted about the daily life of raising children. I heard from Sister Wei that her son was very \”smart\”. When he was more than 2 years old, he would secretly turn on the computer and find cartoons to watch while his mother was away. Sister Wei has been beaten and scolded, but the child has no memory at all and just can\’t get rid of the addiction of \”watching TV\”. Why can\’t I stop my kids from watching TV? Families don\’t pay enough attention to it. Many families have situations where \”children are not allowed to watch TV, but the children always watch it.\” It seems that the parents\’ orders are only effective for a short period of time, and after a while, the children will \”return to their old habits.\” Why does this happen? In the final analysis, it\’s because adults don\’t pay enough attention to it. Look at Sister Wei\’s father-in-law. In order to save worry when raising children, he simply \”leaves the children to the TV\”. There are also many parents who leave the children to the \”mobile phones\” and \”tablets\”. Everyone seems to have a sense of luck: just wait and see what happens. But if family members realize the dangers of watching TV to their children and pay attention to it, how can they be willing to harm their children? If a family does not take their children\’s TV viewing seriously, and some even watch it with their children, then don\’t expect their children to fall in love with learning in the future. Because a child\’s preferences and habits as he grows up are inseparable from his environment and the words and deeds of adults. A family that loves to watch TV will naturally have a child who loves to watch TV; and if family members all like to hold a book and read it, then the child will naturally follow suit and like to read books. The TV-watching atmosphere at home is too heavy. Studies have shown that if a child is in the room and someone is watching TV in the living room, the child\’s desire to watch TV will increase by 1 to 2 times. This is not difficult to explain why some parents watch TV in the living room, and their children secretly watch through the crack of the door.reason. When children are studying, there should be a learning atmosphere, but if someone at home is watching TV, and the light and sound from the TV occupy the living room, it will create a TV-watching atmosphere for the whole house. Some parents will deliberately turn the sound very low, but no matter how low you turn it, the sound waves emitted by the TV will still reach the children\’s ears. Especially if there are elderly people taking care of children at home, the elderly people like to watch family dramas. It is common for a drama to have more than 100 episodes, and they can’t stop watching. Moreover, the elderly people do not pay attention to the dangers of watching TV for children, and they also want to save time when raising children. If you have enough physical strength, you will drag your children along with you. Over time, the child naturally becomes a \”little TV fan\”. One hour a day will make a big difference in attention. Studies have shown that if children watch TV for an hour a day when they are 1-3 years old, the risk of children developing attention deficits in the future will increase by nearly 10%, and generally It doesn\’t show up until they are about 7 years old. It is not difficult to explain why, after children enter school, they always make a lot of small moves in class, cannot sit still when doing homework, and like to fiddle around. If this happens to a child, parents can pay attention to whether the child usually watches TV or the computer for more than 1 hour or more? Because the rapid screen changes of many TV programs can easily \”over-stimulate\” children\’s developing brains, making them unable to adapt to the slow pace of the real world and making reality feel \”boring\”. Moreover, children are so energetic and need to run more at the age. If they watch TV, it will take up a lot of time for activities that are beneficial to cultivating attention, such as reading, sports, games, etc. For one hour a day, it is not surprising that after 3 to 4 years, the attention span will be worse than that of peers. Other disadvantages of children watching TV Disadvantage 1: Watching TV replaces children\’s play, resulting in a decrease in children\’s activities, which in turn affects the child\’s physical development. Disadvantage 2: Watching TV hinders children\’s language development, because watching TV is one-way, and language learning needs to be achieved through communication. Disadvantage 3: Watching TV hinders the development of children\’s imagination, making children accustomed to passively receiving information and lazy to think and explore. Disadvantage 4: Watching TV limits children’s sensory experience and easily makes them unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Disadvantage 5: Children who watch a lot of TV have poor interpersonal communication skills because they lack interaction experience between people. Disadvantage 6: Watching TV reduces children\’s self-control because it can easily become addictive. Surrendering children to a virtual world on a screen does no good except to make parents feel more relaxed. Spending more time with your children is the best way to stop them from watching TV!
