What to do if your child is addicted to the Internet

Last night, as soon as the offline meeting in Nanjing ended, I bought the earliest flight back to Changchun. After a short rest, we have to rush to Shenzhen to prepare for the next meeting. The meeting in Nanjing was the first during the summer vacation. During the holidays, parents spend more time with their children. When communicating at meetings and conferences, in addition to learning issues, parents are also more concerned about the development of their children\’s habits. The most mentioned issue is the management of mobile phones and computers. Children have a lot of free time during the holidays. How can we prevent children from spending all this time addicted to the Internet, and prevent parents and children from arguing over it? There is a very beautiful word in Chinese: discussion. In fact, nothing is non-negotiable. What should you do if your child is addicted to the Internet? In fact, you can discuss the following three steps: First, discuss with your child whether you can move the computer to a place where everyone can see it. Can I play with my phone in the living room? etc. The second step is to discuss with your children, under what circumstances can they play every day? How much time can I play at a time? After what time can I stop playing every night? etc. The third step is to discuss with the children whether they can share the good things on the Internet with their parents? Can you use the Internet to discover some tips to help adults solve some problems in daily life? etc. Which child doesn’t know that being addicted to the Internet is not good? Which child doesn\’t want to improve his academic performance? They actually understand in their hearts that they are just trapped in it for various reasons, and they are also very distressed. At this time, if the parents are able to reach out and help, the children will actually be happy. However, when most parents face these problems, they often use simple and rude methods: criticizing, blaming, complaining, ordering, criticizing, demanding, pointing… All \”methods\” have been exhausted, but they will not discuss.

Some parents say that the Internet is not good for children. Is there any way to prevent children from playing with mobile phones and using the Internet? At this time, I often ask parents: Can you not use mobile phones at all in work and life? Can you do your usual leisure and entertainment without using your mobile phone? Everyone told me – it can\’t be done. In other words, parents play with their mobile phones every day and only ask their children not to play with them. Since you can\’t do it yourself, why do you force your children to do it? Education must focus on methods, but it must also focus on reality. If there is discussion, there will be education; if there is no discussion, there will be no education. If parents take the lead in developing healthy living habits and reduce dependence on mobile phones, and then discuss the implementation with their children, the children will easily follow suit. I often say something – children also watch others order their food. Even though the child is young, he knows it very well in his heart. Simply and crudely prohibiting it with brute force will only result in the child\’s rebellion and endless quarrels between parents and children.
