Every parent who loves his child wonders about the dangers of television. How old should a child be before he can diversify his leisure time by watching cartoons and children's programs? And also, how much time can you spend in front of a blue screen so as not to harm your health?
Instructions
Step 1
Many parents turn on cartoons in front of their one-year-olds so that they can calmly go about their business. However, not many people think that the rapid flashing of frames and a loud sound negatively affect the baby's nervous system.
Step 2
Also, parents often do not control what their child looks at. As a result, from violence and other negativity that comes from the TV screen, violations occur in the child's psyche. In addition, eyesight suffers greatly.
Step 3
Therefore, children, from one and a half to two years old, can watch TV for no more than twenty minutes a day and only under the supervision of adults. Of course, these should only be cartoons, children's programs and films about animals. It is worth noting that it is the viewing of programs about the life of animals that is most useful for a child.
Step 4
For children of four years of age, TV is only interesting for the movement that occurs on the screen. They still cannot distinguish the real from the imaginary. From the age of six, the child already compares himself with his favorite characters and imitates them.
Step 5
At the age of seven, children learn to correlate images and plots from the screen with the real state of affairs. By the age of eight, they imagine what time, space is. By the age of ten, children already know how to analyze. They learn to defend their opinions, to reason. From now on, the content of what he sees is the most important for the child. At this age, they are sure that they can do without adult supervision.
Step 6
The child chooses the gear himself. Makes breaks between views if desired. However, parents should still keep track of what the child is interested in and how much time he spends in front of the TV.
Step 7
In many families, the TV works even when not watching it. This is constant noise and tension. As a result, adults and children feel irritated and overworked. In addition, the child has the opportunity to watch what he wants at any time. Therefore, train yourself to turn on the TV only when necessary.
Step 8
Nowadays preschoolers spend more time in front of the screen than with family and peers. Many parents are quite satisfied with this state of affairs, because the baby does not distract from business, does not scatter toys.
Step 9
Such an attitude can lead to sad consequences. Children have a lag in speech, absent-mindedness. The child ceases to perceive information by ear, attention deficit disorder occurs. He ceases to be interested in creative activity.
