If you want to pull your kids away from electronic products, try these~

When it comes to electronic games, mobile phones, tablets, and TVs, parents are probably at a disadvantage. Because there are too many children addicted to electronic products nowadays. Today we will talk about the use of electronic products: – How to let children use electronic products appropriately? — When a child is addicted to electronic products, how should we help him detach himself from it? Wait for the question. 01 The attraction of nature In the documentary \”Hello, Future Human\”, there is a 5-year-old girl. Her state is very similar to that of common children in life. She only likes to look at the pad, when she has nothing to do, and also when eating. The mother told her if she could watch it after eating, but she seemed not to hear. In the end, the mother had no choice but to feed her daughter and let her play with the pad at the same time. It was such a little girl who went to experience the forest school for a whole day. She ran wildly in nature, kneaded mud and set up tents with her classmates. The whole day, she did not mention playing with a pad. After returning home, her mother asked her whether the pad or the forest school was more fun. The girl said that the forest school was more fun because you could do a lot of adventure activities there. Today\’s children have too little contact with nature, and there are too few toys that allow them to explore by themselves without restrictions. Staying at home, they don\’t know what to do, so they can only play with the pad. The reason for all this is simply that the resources for playing are too scarce. Land literacy, or literacy in the outdoor classroom, is a very popular and effective children\’s literacy teaching method in the education field in recent years. It allows children to master early language and literacy skills through contact with nature. Many studies show that when children explore the natural outdoors, even just climbing mountains, walking, and observing plants, their language and literacy skills develop better than those of their peers. Children will discover many phenomena in nature that are not found in classrooms, which will stimulate children\’s desire to express themselves. In the electronic age, children who have more real-life experiences are the happiest. 02 Use things that are more fun than games to lure children into games, novels and the like. If we want children to play without telling us, there is only one way – it should be sparse rather than blocked. The more we guard against him, the more likely he is to come in contact where we can\’t see him. I saw an interview with a game developer. They were ordered to develop an anti-addiction system for teenagers. After conducting research, employees found that it is too difficult to prevent addiction 100%. Some children take their mobile phones to the small shop in front of the school during breaks or after school, and ask the boss, as an adult, to help scan their faces to unlock them. Some even use their grandparents’ faces to unlock the phone when their parents are not paying attention. …Even if no one in the family plays electronic products when the child is at home, if the child goes outside and sees other children playing games on their mobile phones, they will still be curious and watch with interest. Therefore, blindly eliminating it is not a long-term solution. What\’s more, playing games in moderation can indeed reduce children\’s learning pressure. So, what should we do so that children can use electronic products moderately?Instead of diving in and not getting out? One solution provided by psychologists is that if a child is showing signs of being addicted to video games, then you need to lure him out with something that is equally fun, or even more fun. We cannot expect to occupy children\’s play time with things like studying and reading. If such suppression is suppressed, children may rebound in the future. Just like, if you want to catch a stray cat in the park, you have to lure it over with sweet snacks. For children, a piece of plasticine or a pile of sand can be fun to play, and video games are not his only choice. What we have to do is use games like this to help him discover more fun choices in life. What can you play? ——Board games are a good choice. It\’s puzzle and requires interaction with other people. American children have a relatively easy time at the basic learning stage and have more time than our children, but the proportion of children who are addicted to video games is much smaller than our children. There is a Family Board Game culture in the United States. Usually families who like to play board games have children who are less likely to be addicted to electronic games. Pinwheel, a British educational toy brand, has developed many board games suitable for young children. You can choose from them. In addition, poker, backgammon, flying chess, etc. can all be regarded as a type of board games. Not only can families play together, but they can also lead children\’s friends to play together. 03 Reduce restrictions on children – DIY toys There are also some children who are not very interested in playing with things. It may also be because there are too many restrictions when playing. For example, a child plays with water at home and leaves it all over the floor, which makes the parents very angry and unable to restrain themselves from getting angry. After that, the child does not dare to play much. In contrast, Ms. Huang from Nanchang, Jiangxi, her two sons have been fond of drawing since they were young, and sometimes graffiti on the walls. Previously, Ms. Huang had to pay the landlord thousands of yuan because her sons graffitied on the walls of a rental house. . But Ms. Huang did not stop her sons’ behavior. Not only did these graffiti become vivid and beautiful memories for the children, but now the works drawn by her sons are also amazing. She said: \”I think this wall can still be painted, but children only have so many years. In a few years, if you ask them to paint like this on it, it will be impossible.\” If we don\’t want our children Doodle randomly on the wall. You can leave the cardboard boxes for express delivery at home and stick them on the corner of the wall to create a graffiti corner for your children. There are other wonderful uses for cardboard boxes instead of throwing them away. 04 Housework and life are the best games. Since we have mentioned before that electronic products can coexist with other activities, does that mean that we can play some educational games for our children? Older children can play the game appropriately, but for young children, it is best to strictly prohibit it. Because compared with Nintendo and computer games, tablet games are really not friendly. Even though its core is puzzle, it only requires both hands to operate, sometimes it can be done with two fingers, and it really doesn\’t do much to develop the brain. Electronic games have the most obvious deprivation effect on young children – unlike physical games, they deprive children of their own real experience. takeFor Tetris, players need to place horizontal, vertical, and various shapes of blocks together to control the height. When playing the game, we feel that we have achieved this effect by our own abilities. In fact, this is just the result of the careful design of the game. The game gives people the illusion that as long as I imagine it in my mind, I can succeed. In fact, all modules and props are designed, and you only need to send commands from your brain to your fingers to gain a sense of control. This is completely different from building blocks with your own hands. Young children still need a lot of practical mapping to fill and enrich themselves. The simplest ones are manual work, housework, physical activities, etc. For example, if this process of making dumplings is placed in a game, the child may be able to complete it with just a few clicks. But in practice, he has to mobilize many functions of his mind and body, including how to cooperate with his hands, how to hold it firmly, and how much strength to use to pinch the dumpling skins together to ensure that the fillings are not exposed. This allows children to feel how in control they are during a longer exercise process. The game, through models and procedures with standard frameworks, gives the child a perception that is irrelevant to him, but makes the child think that he achieved it by himself, depriving him of his self-experience. We have emphasized many times that children should be involved in housework. Especially for young children, this is not only to cultivate their self-care ability, but also to improve their learning transfer ability and exercise their brain. Also, it’s the imitation game. Children like to imitate, and we can also simulate various occupations with our children at home. Previously, at the hospital, I met a child who asked his father what the people at the checkout window were doing. My father explained to him that they were collecting money and had to stamp it and issue a receipt. In fact, if the father can stand by the window with his children and observe the behavior of the staff repeatedly stamping, and after returning home, he can take building blocks or plasticine to pretend to stamp, and play the game of stamping and collecting money at home, this is a good idea. Very good development. It is written about a child who lives in a normal environment. He goes to school every day, has friends to play with, and the time for playing electronic devices is strictly limited. The family relationship is harmonious, and the parents play well with their children. The chance of children being addicted to electronic devices is very low. Many times, children come into contact with electronic products because adults are too busy, and electronic products prematurely become their children\’s \”electronic nannies.\” We still need to spend more time with our children and explore more fun interactive activities so that they can live in the real world. In this way, electronic devices, like Lego and cars, are just ordinary toys and will not be difficult to part with.
