Putting the computer in the parents' bedroom, locking the room and unplugging the internet cable are common practices of some parents who are worried about their children's internet addiction, but these practices are actually extremely stupid and absolutely impossible. Not only will it not work, but it will get worse and worse, because your control will make your child feel more empty, so he will try his best to solve this emptiness and find opportunities to continue surfing the Internet. At that time, Internet cafes will be his first choice. The environment of Internet cafes is harmful to children's physical and mental health. I used to surf the Internet at home because the computer couldn't access the Internet, or I used to write such articles online in Internet cafes. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a smell of smoke and mildew. As soon as I sat down, I was filled with the noise of some hooligans ... I can imagine what impact surfing the Internet would have on underage children in such an environment.
Some parents prevent their children from going to Internet cafes by not letting them go out and giving them pocket money. Practice has proved that this method is not feasible, because children can play truant during school hours and surf the Internet even if they get money from abnormal channels. Therefore, because children are worried about being addicted to the Internet, "isolation" is really the best way to save children.
We should start from the roots and think about why children play and why they play out of control. That's because things around him can't satisfy his interest, because parents are busy working all day to make money, and the only thing they say to their children when they go home is "Have you finished your homework?" This will make them feel uninterested in anything in this world. In his life, besides going to school, he eats and sleeps. Now only the computer can accompany him, have fun with him and spend a good time with him online. How could he give up? Therefore, the fundamental problem still lies with parents.
A parent once proudly told me that his children never surf the Internet and don't even know what QQ is, let alone chat online. The child also replied in front of his father that he never went to Internet cafes and didn't know how to surf the Internet. However, by chance, I saw this child praised by his father sitting in an Internet cafe, not only skillfully opening QQ, but also flashing more than 10 avatars in the "friends bar".
It is inevitable for children to surf the internet. If they go against the trend, they will only let themselves fail. Therefore, we should frankly accept children surfing the Internet and actively encourage and guide them to surf the Internet.
Parents should know that playing games is not the only purpose of children surfing the Internet. Children also want to know the world through the internet and learn more knowledge through the internet.
Network is also a double-edged sword. If you indulge in online games, make friends or blindly browse unhealthy web pages, it will be harmful. If you use it to browse the news, consult information, send and receive emails, play games properly and make some friends, it will be beneficial. Just like a kitchen knife, its use in the kitchen is kitchenware. If it's used to chop people, it's a murder weapon.
Let's start with the topic "About Internet content".
Generally speaking, there are three main activities for children to surf the Internet: playing games, chatting and learning (looking for information). As for the time devoted to these activities, it varies from person to person. Yiyi's time investment is divided into three stages: just playing games, playing some educational games when I was a child; During the primary school, games are the mainstay, chatting is the supplement, and learning is the supplement; In middle school, it's the other way around from primary school. Focus on learning, supplemented by playing games and chatting.
This is because playing was her main activity when she was a child, so playing games was her main activity. During this time, children do not have enough interpersonal communication and learning needs, so there is no chat and learning content. In primary school, children not only play in life, but also increase contact with classmates and friends and enter the learning stage, so chatting with netizens to learn (looking for information) has become one of her online content; After the child enters middle school, with the growth of age, the broadening of horizons and the increase of learning tasks, playing is not enough to attract all of her, and exploring knowledge has become her first choice. Therefore, during this period, children's online content is mainly related to learning (looking for information), while playing online games and chatting with Q friends take the second place.
Yi was so happy along the way, at the same time, she also gained knowledge and friendship.
