In the modern world, children are very early adopters of the computer. We are no longer surprised by one-year-old babies who show an increased interest in technology. From an early age, children strive to gain knowledge that will be useful to them in the future. Therefore, it is important to teach your child how to use a computer.
Instructions
Step 1
A child under the age of three can be allowed to play with a mouse. Let the kid try to push buttons and turn the wheel. Buy a special children's computer for your baby. On it he will be able to learn keyboard skills.
Step 2
Show your child how the computer turns on and off. Emphasize that a computer is a work tool that you can use to get things done.
Step 3
A computer chair for a child must have a height adjuster. Make sure that the distance between the baby's eyes and the monitor is at least 60 centimeters. Track your posture. The hands should be at the level of the elbows. Computer lessons with younger preschool children should not be longer than 10 minutes.
Step 4
Older preschool children can already learn simple mouse manipulations. Show how to use it. By observing your actions, the child will quickly master the way to control the mouse. By moving the mouse, he will see the movement of the cursor on the monitor screen.
Step 5
As you study the keyboard, explain to your child the function of the keys on it. Show the "hot" keys, tell us in what cases to use them.
Step 6
Let your child see the desktop on the monitor. Have the child try to select folders with a click of a mouse button. Create a folder with your baby. Teach you how to move a folder, open it.
Step 7
Introduce your child to a graphic editor, where he can draw using the mouse. Having learned the letters, the kid will be able to type syllables and words.
Step 8
Show how to use a floppy drive and flash drive. Teach your child to handle discs carefully. Buy educational games on discs. A huge number of such programs will allow you to broaden your baby's horizons and develop his analytical skills.
Step 9
The content of the games should be interesting, simple and emotionally appealing to children. Playing on the computer, the child learns to switch from one action to another, to make independent decisions.
Step 10
Remember that there are different games for every age. Always check new discs yourself first. After completing classes with your baby, show how to properly and correctly turn off the computer. Take care of the password to turn on the computer.
Step 11
Remember that the time spent by the child at the computer will never replace outdoor games. The computer should become a teaching aid and assistant for the child in the future.
