When attending an international child care conference, British authoritative psychologist Dr. Sigman pointed out that governments of all countries should enact laws prohibiting children under 9 years of age from accessing computers because children’s early exposure to computers can affect intellectual development.
Believe that this appeal is a shock to all parents, because the modern life of the computer display equipment, the magic of children has been increasing. However, in recent years, there has been an endless stream of studies on the “use of electronic products too early, which will affect the development of children”.
Nowadays, with advanced technology, each child has almost one electronic product. He doesn't care wherever he goes. Some parents think that letting children access electronic products such as
Touch Computer early can develop children’s intelligence, which is not the case.
In 2007, Professor Frederick Zimmerman from the Institute of Child Health, University of Washington School of Public Health, and colleagues surveyed more than 1,000 parents and found that the use of software that develops intelligence is not beneficial for the normal development of children under 2 years of age. , and may even affect their ability to learn text.
In 2008, a study from the United Kingdom found that the 14-year-old’s “high-level thinking” ability only matched the level of a 12-year-old child in 1976, which was related to the popularity of television and computer games and frequent school exams. .
Many psychological education and medical workers have found in practice that children who use too many electronic products have poor control and lack of concentration; they have low sensitivity to environmental stimuli; they have low levels of self-control; their willpower is weak; Emotional instability. Zhu Yanli, deputy chief physician of the Department of Neurology at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, said that premature and excessive exposure to computers and television may also lead to ADHD and slang syndrome.
However, experts also pointed out that the popularity and popularity of computers at least shows that computers and the Internet have their own unique advantages in sharing resources and expanding knowledge. It is not realistic to completely separate children from computers and other electronic products. Therefore, the most important thing for parents is to know how to make children reasonably accessible to computers.
0-2 years old, no contact. A 2007 survey in the United States showed that about 90% of children often watch various intellectual development programs on computers or television before the age of two. Parents explained this: In order to promote children's intellectual development.
In fact, the child's brain needs to be in a real environment in order to develop healthily. For example, activities such as learning to crawl and take obstacles can not only exercise the baby's body, but also allow him to perceive the true three-dimensional space in a three-dimensional environment. Children need to touch, feel, observe and move real things, and use basic knowledge of the real world to train their neural and cognitive systems. Therefore, at this stage, it may be more practical to buy more discs that develop intelligence than to communicate more with children and do more games.
2 years old to school age, less contact. In the period when the child’s ability is growing rapidly, if parents want him to learn more, buying the cognitive readership published by professional publishers is the best choice, economical, and such recognition is better than using computers. Faster, less likely to hurt the eyes.
At this time, the child can already get in touch with the computer. For example, photos and videos recorded by family members themselves will be enjoyed by the adults and children. It will only be fun to surf the net, play games, and so on.
After school, control the use of time. With the multimedia teaching of modern teaching courses, children have more and more opportunities to access the computer. At this time, parents can allow their children to use computers to complete their homework. Games must first be screened by parents to help children establish right and wrong concepts and improve their skills. The "immune ability" of bad things. In addition, children's play time must be subject to mandatory restrictions to ensure their rest and outdoor activities. You may wish to limit the number of playable hours each day, not more than half an hour at a time. At the same time, let him develop a computer for 10-20 minutes, take a break, and look at the habits of the distance.
In order to “quitting” children’s dependence on computers, many countries in the world are actually exploring their own methods. For example, in Japan, many parents will take advantage of the summer vacation, take their children away from the hustle and bustle of the city, experience a life without a computer or television, and let them realize that "there is no TV and games, and you can have a good time."
