Children are often asked to play with them, poking small fingers at the screen literally for hours, either just playing, or over and over watching newfangled cartoons. It would seem, what's wrong with that? The child develops motor skills, attention, learns and develops with interest. But, as you know, good should also be in moderation.
Child psychologists are of the opinion that children should not be allowed to gadgets, including even a TV, until the age of three. These newfangled devices take kids to the world of ease, where everything is solved only by pressing a button, but there is also real life, in which, alas, everything is not so easy and you need to try to learn a lot.
If we talk about harm, the oversaturation of technology in childhood affects everything: vision, posture, character, since the gadget becomes a frequent cause of quarrels and tantrums. A psychiatrist will help in this case for a competent explanation that gadgets require control and should be used by children for no more than an hour a day. When a child has only briefly plunged into the world of virtual reality, they will pull out a few very simple rules that should be remembered.
Example rule
If you yourself like to use all sorts of novelties of advanced technologies, then your baby will do the same. After all, children are known to completely copy the behavior of adults. Want to spend a day without tech? Make it a common family tradition.
Rule of wins
In virtual reality, the kid feels like a pro, he feels successful and gets maximum pleasure from it, so try to simulate his success in reality. For example, succumbing to a board game.
Employment rule
Your child should leave a minimum of free time, engaging in various hobbies, in addition to electronics.
The rule of taboo
A taboo is imposed on all insults of any gadgets and applications from your lips. After all, if it is important for your child, then it should be just as important for you. We remember about security, about the settings of various control programs, precautions and locks.
Rest rule
More often do it so that your baby for a while forget about gaming devices and embarks with you on an amazing journey through the pages of books, or looking for a new clearing in the nearest forest. If you decide to go for a walk with a company, then warn other parents that the gadgets should be postponed for now.
