02 Aug Children and Gadgets
Excessive use of gadgets leads to addiction.
Most modern cartoons, mobile games, and video content are dangerous for the child's psyche and brain, causing dopamine addiction.
If a child uses electronic devices, it is important for parents to regulate what content they consume on the Internet, and special applications can be used for this purpose.
The later in life a child gets a phone/tablet/computer, the more he or she will have a choice of alternative activities and hobbies that will be useful for his or her comprehensive development.
Parents always set an example for their children and thus stimulate certain behaviors in them. If mom and dad spend the whole evening on the phone, the child will strive to do the same.
It is worth freeing up the evening from working on the phone and spending quality time with your child.
Do not use gadgets to calm your child down or as an activity when you want to do other things.
It is important to clearly establish a regime for using gadgets and stick to it every day, regardless of the circumstances. If it is an hour a day, then only an hour a day.
When a family makes a rule about limited use of gadgets, time limits, etc., everyone in the family must adhere to these agreements: both children and parents.
In addition to the rules, it is important to agree on what consequences await the violator of the agreements.
