Under such circumstances, there are more and more children playing mobile phones now, and they are getting younger and younger. Maybe everyone didn't feel anything when they were young, but as their children grow up day by day, many parents may realize the seriousness of the problem.
I am not only worried that children are addicted to playing mobile phones and affect their studies, but also worried that playing mobile phones will affect their eyesight and lead to premature myopia. At this time, many parents may think that they must quit their children's "mobile phone addiction."
For most parents, the solution to the problem of children playing mobile phones may be compulsory intervention and control. If children don't obey, they will confiscate their mobile phones and forcibly ban them from playing. Although children may not be able to resist their parents' decisions, it is common for adolescent children to confront their parents.
Therefore, there may be such a scenario:
Mother saw the child playing with his mobile phone.
Mom: Did you finish your homework today?
Baby: play for a while and then do it.
Maybe the baby has been playing mobile phone for a long time at this time. Maybe after a while, the children will continue to play with their mobile phones.
Mom said angrily, do your homework quickly, or I will confiscate my mobile phone if I don't go.
Perhaps at this time, the child is still indifferent. Until the mother couldn't bear it, she forcibly took the child's mobile phone.
Children may get angry and yell at their parents: What are you doing with my mobile phone?
At this time, parents may say that no matter what they say, children will be disobedient, and they will go against their parents and say, I won't do my homework unless I give my mobile phone. Even the next day, I lay directly in bed and didn't go to school.
I believe many parents have had such troubles! Why are children so addicted to mobile phones? What should we do?
The reasons why children like to play mobile phones are as follows:
Imitate parents
Parents are the best imitators of children, and many children follow their parents' example. If parents are "low-headed", they will play mobile phones if they have nothing to do. Then children may be curious about mobile phones at a very young age, and then learn to play mobile phones like their parents.
When the child is still young, parents may think that the child's behavior is cute and let the child play with the mobile phone. Many times, parents will tease their children with their mobile phones. This also further cultivated children's love for mobile phones.
Children's curiosity
Nowadays, mobile phones have many functions, and adults like to play. Children are more curious and have a strong desire to explore, because they are fascinated by the rich functions, games and videos in mobile phones.
If parents neglect to accompany their children on weekdays and there are not many daily entertainment items for children, then mobile phones may soon become their best and favorite toys.
The easiest way to take care of children
Taking care of the baby is undoubtedly a very hard thing, and parents are tired after a day's work. When they are rarely at leisure, they may play mobile phones, but in order to leave their children alone, they may play mobile phones directly for their children. From this, it is estimated that the scene of adults and children playing mobile phones together on the sofa is also very common in life!
Grandparents take care of their children. They like them. Children like to play with mobile phones, and grandparents may let them play.
The disadvantages of playing mobile phone to children
Although mobile phones facilitate people's lives and bring us a lot of convenience, they also help us to better narrow the distance between people. But for children, if they are not properly guided, playing mobile phones often does more harm than good.
Affect visual acuity
The child's eyes are not yet mature. If children play mobile phones for a long time and their posture is incorrect, some children who are addicted to playing mobile phones will secretly play mobile phones in some harsh environments, which will have a greater impact on their eyes.
So now more and more children are nearsighted, which may be inseparable from children playing mobile phones since childhood.
Affect your study
For adults, playing mobile phones is addictive. What's more, children who don't have much stopping power are addicted to playing mobile phones, and they are all focused on playing mobile phones, so that children's studies will inevitably not be paid attention to, so that their studies may be abandoned and their grades may plummet.
Not conducive to parent-child relationship
In daily life, although mobile phones have brought people closer, they have also alienated the relationship between people. Some people get together and may have nothing to say but bow their heads and play with their mobile phones. Even at home, most of the time, families rarely get together and talk about few topics, but everyone has a mobile phone and plays by themselves.
Children's childhood, if the lack of parents' high-quality companionship, children are spent on mobile phones, then the relationship between children and parents will not be much better.
Children are addicted to playing mobile phones, but they can't stop it forcibly. How can we help children get rid of "cell phone addiction"?
For children, especially adolescent children, you can't forcibly control and interfere with children playing mobile phones, otherwise it may be counterproductive. You know, adolescent children often have some rebellious psychology. In many cases, the more parents forbid things, the children may date and go against their parents' wishes.
Because in children's minds, they have a strong sense of autonomy and want to get rid of their parents' control. If parents forcibly control their children to play mobile phones at this time, then children may not want to give up their studies and are still struggling with their addiction to mobile phones. However, under the forced prohibition of parents, they may give up their last struggle and fight with their parents in order to get rid of their parents' control.
Therefore, in order to better help children use mobile phones reasonably, parents had better start from the following aspects.
Parents lead by example.
Behind the children who like to play mobile phones, there are often parents who like to play mobile phones. If parents often play mobile phones, then children will follow suit and mistakenly think that playing mobile phones is a happy thing and a relaxing thing, so that children can follow suit and learn. If the child's stopping power is poor, he may slowly sink in.
Therefore, in order to prevent children from indulging in playing mobile phones, parents need to set an example by not always playing mobile phones, let alone playing mobile phones in front of their children.
Spend more time with your children.
Children like to play with mobile phones, often because they are bored, lack the company of their parents and feel lonely. Therefore, they will only regard their mobile phones as their toys.
At the beginning, what children need most in their hearts is the attention and companionship of their parents. For children, they don't find cold mobile phones interesting at all. They prefer the living, don't you think?
If children want to play less mobile phones and not indulge in them, then parents need to spend more time with their children, play with them, chat with them and talk with them.
Reading with children and cultivating children's good reading habits from an early age can not only make children like reading more, but also better stay away from mobile phones. When children are tired of reading, parents can also play games with them, which can not only relax children, but also enhance parent-child feelings. Why not?
Help children use their mobile phones reasonably
In today's society, mobile phones are used very frequently. Parents may need to use their mobile phones to work when they get home, or they are too tired after a day's work and want to relax with their mobile phones. At this time, when you play with your mobile phone, you can explain to your child that you want to relax yourself with your mobile phone in order to work better.
Nowadays, children have more and more opportunities to contact and use mobile phones. It is unrealistic to prohibit children from playing with mobile phones. Then we need to help children use their mobile phones reasonably. After all, mobile phones can also help children learn.
Even if children are allowed to play mobile games, we need to make rules for them in advance to allow them to play mobile phones, but not indefinitely. We need children to play for a while after finishing their homework.
Only by making rules for children in advance and letting them use their mobile phones reasonably can we help children use their mobile phones better and make them the masters of their mobile phones instead of being enslaved by them.
Say a word in heart:
In recent years, because of mobile phones, the relationship between parents and children has deteriorated, and even serious contradictions have arisen. Perhaps many times, it is because of parents' improper practices that the problem has not been solved, but has become more serious. Actually, mobile phones are not beasts. As long as we can do these things well and help children use mobile phones reasonably, in fact, the advantages of children playing mobile phones outweigh the disadvantages, don't you think?
