In the modern world, the computer replaces books and living people. This is due to the fact that the conditions for the development of children have radically changed. So what to do to avoid children leaving for imaginary worlds?
Form the right attitude towards the computer in children
In a child's life, the importance you place on a computer influences how he or she is perceived. Treat the technique calmly, carefully, almost indifferently, and use it to your advantage. Don't exaggerate the fears and importance of the computer. This will avoid the deformation of the child's value system.
No computers and consoles up to 3 years old
Being in front of a computer at an early age can lead to the fact that he will unlearn to distinguish between reality and the virtual world. The child's perception should be formed naturally. At an older age, the time at the computer should be dosed, no more than 30 minutes, and it is better if these half an hour are divided into intervals of 15 minutes. Or make it a rule that the computer is only on weekends. Do not leave your child alone with the computer, using the opportunity to relax. Playing on the computer can cause unwanted addiction in a child and lead to low self-esteem. Lack of love, tenderness, attention, affection and communication creates the risk of computer addiction. Spend more time with him, chat and play with him.
Create an opportunity to be in the real world
Being at the computer for a long time, the child may lose interest in the world around him. Your task is to adapt it to reality and teach you to communicate with peers. Explain to him that the body needs to run, jump and play. Let your child feel that there are things more interesting than a computer.
Spend time at the computer only together
This will form the right attitude towards games. Simulate the child's correct attitude to the computer by your own example. Limit time and show your child how easily you can stop.
Alternate between computer and outdoor games
Children like different interesting activities, they easily switch from one to another. Try to correctly explain to your child that time limitation is not a punishment, but a natural phenomenon.
Discipline and computer
Stop using your computer for a long time. Do not interrupt the game aggressively. It is better to calmly explain to your child that more interesting things await him, that all children of his age do not spend so much time at the computer.
