Why do not protect children from gadgets

We will understand at first with the concepts. Children I will call people between the ages of two to 13 years. Child up to two years, few leaves alone with gadgets, and after 13 - it is not the children. We will talk not only about gadgets, but also computer games, because these two things are related to each other. And I will not touch upon the topic of social networking. From them more harm than good. Although blogging (if you include the same "Live Journal" to social networks) rather useful activity.

First of all, it should be said that every parent chooses the method of child-rearing. Someone allows fumes to be more independent, someone fills his schedule by 100%. Some people are comfortable with the fact that their child is watching TV, while others do not even buy TV - not because of a lack of finance, and ideological reasons. Therefore, all the above on - not a call to action, not rules or instructions for the education of the child. Just my thoughts and recommendations.

Modern world

We live in the age of technology. It so happened that the modern world is impossible without computers in any of their form of payment terminals, smart phones, laptops, game consoles. And if you do not know how to handle the equipment, for you to shut down half of specialties, and maybe more. The sooner and the better you learn to manage it, the konkurentosposaboutbnee you will be on the labor market.

So why to protect the child from this same technology? I will take myself as an example (I did not just do it in the article). The computer appeared in our house when I was about 12, I think. I do not limit access to it. I tried Counter-Strike - the dregs of some sort, tried to "Cossacks" - is interesting, but still boring. In general, I did not find the game that would be to my liking. But I liked to delve into HTML and CSS. At computer science lessons at school I was delighted with the Pascal programming language. So I chose what I wanted to do in life.

Influence of gadgets on child development

I have spent and spend a lot of time at the computer. I did not dumber by the fact that in 12-14 years sitting at a computer for 4-6 hours a day. Quite the contrary. I was looking for interesting things change, read a lot of articles, I tried to explore vorstku learned to sew phones. I assure you that it develops. Now I will not be difficult to deal with any operating system and any device. It took me 15 minutes to realize that what in Ubuntu. Before that I, as I remember, had never seen anything other than Windows XP / 7.

This is not narcissism. This is just an example of how to conduct a long time at the computer can affect human development.

Choose the content correctly

Who said that the tablet should be only games like Angry Birds and the GTA? The app stores have a large number of useful, logical and educational games. So, we did application selection on Android for the youngest children. For older kids, you can find the best solution by searching through our site. Just enter "Smart the game" and you get a lot of useful for your children to play. You are free to choose the content that you see fit for your child. You can also limit the time that child will be spending for your tablet or smartphone. The benefit of modern smart phones make it very easy to do this.

It should take into account the peculiarities of your child. Some children are very mobile, the other - a quiet, one like the big companies, others opt for solitude. And do not think that, if your child likes to play alone, it's bad. I - an example of such a child. Believe me, I have no problem looking for some love and communicate with people. Although as a child I would spend hours playing with soft toys, or read a book. I especially liked the children's detective stories and tales Gianni Rodari. And I was very angry when parents climbed up to me, wanting to play. At the same time I quietly walked in the street with friends and not in the garden or in the school was not an outcast. But I have distracted.

Some psychologists believe that the gadgets are bad for the child's psyche and development of children. Here is an example of my cousins. The older one, little interaction with phones and computers. The plates then were not common at all. But his brother from the first years of life are constantly playing with a smartphone and a laptop. The comparison of the psyche and mental abilities of these two boys would not be in favor of the one who grew up without gadgets. But, of course, everything depends not only on technology. I am inclined to believe that the gadgets when properly used have no negative impact on the psyche and development of children.

Do not choose for the kid, what he will do on your tablet or computer. Give him a little freedom, let him look stupid cartoons or play the same game. Limit is vremyapreprovozhdeof, and do not forbid. The Forbidden fruit is sweet. If you worried that your child will not break away from the gadgets, write it down in any circle. A good sports section takes up so much energy that forces and even time on gadgets remains not so much.
