The computer has long become not a luxury, but a means of understanding the world. It can be useful not only for adults, but also for children. However, spending a long time with it can harm the child, so parents should teach the child how to use the computer correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
As soon as the child has learned to walk confidently, he tries to get closer to the computer. It is not surprising, because mom and dad spend so much time with him, and the baby wants to know what they found interesting in this car. However, up to two and a half - three years, the child has nothing to do behind the monitor screen. At this time, it is still being mastered in the real world.
Step 2
When the age "for some reason" comes, then the computer will become a good help for the child and his parents. Download interactive games and educational programs for the little ones. After all, it is much more interesting not to read in a book why the fish does not sink, but to be in the underwater world yourself and see how everything works there. Children who have used educational programs feel more confident at school.
Step 3
Explain the rules for using a computer to your child. Show how it turns on, how to start the program, what keys should be pressed during the game. Of course, while working at the computer, you will be next to the baby, but this does not mean that when you are away for five minutes, he will not have time to press a dozen buttons and format the disk. Explain to him that you shouldn't press anything without your permission.
Step 4
The kid may also like the graphic programs - Paint or Paintbrush. Later he will be able to master Photoshop, learn how to draw pictures, create cards and invitations. A color printer will not be superfluous, where the child can print the results of his creativity.
Step 5
Parents of younger students benefit from computers. With the help of games, they teach children to make their own decisions and immediately see their consequences. In some schools, students at this age are starting to learn Flash animation. Children are happy to create cartoons and develop their creativity.
Step 6
After the generation of children raised by the TV, the generation raised by the computer is growing up. You should not shift your responsibilities to the machine. Work with your child, show him new educational films, teach him to focus on interactive games.
Step 7
A child who has mastered a computer will sooner or later come out onto the Internet. Do not let him walk alone in this huge virtual world. Explain to your kid the rules of behavior on the Internet, agree that he will not download files without your knowledge, open suspicious letters with attachments, as there may be a virus. If possible, block sites in your browser that contain information that should not be seen by your child.
Step 8
Many children are so addicted to computers that they prefer virtual communication to real ones. Come up with interesting entertainment for your baby to help him return to reality.
