Be wary of what is “eating” your child’s brain!

A professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong said that it is very difficult for college students today to even read a ten-page paper. In the end what happened? Students who once could concentrate on reading a long article now find it difficult to read even a short article. This situation not only happens to college students, but also to children. What is eating away at their concentration and memory? The emergence of short videos quickly occupied children\’s brains. It\’s like opening \”Pandora\’s Box\”. 01 A top student lost in the world of short videos. “Mom, I just watched a few short videos to relax, why can’t it work?” Xiao Ming said impatiently. \”Xiao Ming, look at you, your grades have dropped from the top to the bottom. Do you still think there is no problem?\” Mom was a little helpless. Xiao Ming was originally the top student in school, and his grades were always among the best. But since he came into contact with short videos, everything has changed. Every night, he couldn\’t help but turn on his phone and watch those short videos of a few minutes. At first, he just found these videos interesting and relaxing, but soon he found himself unable to help himself. One night, it was already late at night, Xiao Ming\’s mother opened his door and found that he was still scrolling through his mobile phone. Mom was a little angry: \”It\’s so late and I\’m still not sleeping! I have to go to class tomorrow!\” \”Watch a little longer, just a little while.\” Xiao Ming answered without raising his head. Scenarios like this happen almost every day. Xiao Ming\’s concentration is getting worse and worse, and his memory is not as good as before. He always couldn\’t remember what the teacher said in class. Every time he took an exam, his grades were declining, from the top to the bottom of the class. Teachers and parents were anxious, but Xiao Ming was still addicted to the world of short videos. Short videos are like a bottomless pit, sucking up all Xiao Ming’s time and energy. Whenever he turns off his phone, he starts to feel bored and empty in the real world. To fill this void, he turned back on his phone and fell into a vicious cycle. \”Look at you, even your memory is not as good as before. The teacher said that you always lose your mind in class. If you keep going like this, how will you get into a good university?\” Her mother\’s words were full of worry. Xiao Ming lowered his head and remained silent. He knew that what his mother said was true, but he couldn\’t help but watch those short videos. The instant gratification he felt was irresistible. Short videos brought short-term happiness to Xiao Ming, but they also swallowed up his future. He fell deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of short videos and could not extricate himself. His story reminds us that the addictive nature of short videos cannot be ignored, especially for teenagers, whose brains have not yet fully developed and are extremely susceptible to influence. I hope every parent can be vigilant and keep their children away from the temptation of short videos. 02 Keep your children away from short videos. Moms, just imagine, when your children recall their childhood, will they feel proud that they have watched thousands of short videos? Or will you be proud of yourself for doing something meaningful? Short videos do not bring long-term happiness, but short-term stimulation and endless emptiness. Famous entrepreneur Elon Musk once said that he never watches TikTok because the platform’s algorithm makes people addictedWhich makes people feel uneasy. A child\’s brain is like an unexplored virgin land, full of infinite possibilities. What we have to do is to protect this \”fertile soil\” and not let short videos become the \”demon\” that devours it. As the old Chinese saying goes: \”If a young man doesn\’t work hard, the old man will be miserable.\” Children\’s growth time is limited, and every moment wasted will bring regrets in the future. The instant gratification of short videos is like candy, making children temporarily sweet but ignoring the hidden dangers behind it. What children\’s brains need during development is beneficial stimulation and healthy habits, not constant pleasure stimulation. We don’t want our children’s memories to be filled with meaningless short videos, but with beautiful moments of reading, exploring, and creating. Imagine a child standing on the podium one day in the future, recalling his childhood. Say: \”I am grateful to my parents. They taught me how to use time and cherish every minute and every second.\” Instead: \”My childhood was spent in countless short videos, and those fragmented information made me Lost our way. \”What we have to do is to create a fulfilling, healthy and positive growth environment for our children. Just like farmers farming, they need to work hard, water and fertilize to usher in a good harvest season. Children\’s education and growth also require our patience and persistence. Don’t let short videos become a “black hole” that swallows up your children’s future. But let their childhood be filled with sunshine, books and laughter. Short videos are quietly \”stealing\” children\’s brains. As parents, we must act immediately. Reduce the time children are exposed to short videos, increase their opportunities to participate in real activities, and allow them to find real fun and sense of accomplishment in real life. The future of our children is in our hands. Every time they turn on a short video, they are paving the way for their future. Let’s work together to protect our children’s brain health and ensure they grow up in a fulfilling and meaningful environment. \”Education is not about teaching students certain knowledge, but training their way of thinking.\” – Einstein Click \”Like\” and let us protect our children\’s future together and reject the temptation of short videos.
