But the little guy can't sit still. He shouted to Cai Jie, "Mom, I don't want to do my homework. I want to watch TV! " "There is no TV! I have told you several times, don't watch TV and do your homework! " Sister Cai can't help but get angry.
Because of Cai Jie's roar, Tong Tong didn't dare to do it any more, so she buried her head and continued to do her homework. But I can still see him sitting in a chair, writhing uneasily, which shows that he is really reluctant to do his homework.
Later, I asked Sister Cai why Tong Tong was addicted to TV at such a young age. Cai Jie shook his head helplessly. "It's all his grandmother's fault. When he was a child, Tong Tong often let him watch TV. He also said that children who watch TV are obedient and don't cry. After a long time, the child becomes addicted. "
"alas!" Cai Jie sighed and continued: "The sequelae of watching TV are all out now. The child's concentration is poor. Everything is half-hearted, he wants to watch TV. "
Is it really so lethal for children to watch TV?
As a mother, I was afraid that my children would follow in their footsteps, so I quickly looked up relevant information after I got home. I really don't know if I don't check I was shocked when I checked.
Foreign studies have found that children watching TV for too long before 12 years old is very harmful to their healthy growth. In addition to the damage of electronic screen to children's eyesight, watching TV also has an impact on children's intellectual development.
Relevant researchers pointed out that the TV screen flashes very fast, and the child's brain has no time to "process and understand" the TV screen, and the brain is completely passive. The longer you watch TV, the more tired your child's brain will be.
In the operation of the brain, the brain waves released will also change because of watching TV-the beta waves responsible for thinking will weaken and the alpha brain waves responsible for hypnosis will increase.
Therefore, for children, watching TV is just a kind of "fun" and a "vivid" picture for their eyes, and they don't fully digest the content at all. This passive input method makes children lose the consciousness of active thinking. Over time, children will lack patience and their attention will be affected.
After I understood the harm of watching TV to children, I immediately began to take action. "One size fits all" does not allow children to watch TV.
There are so many electronic products these days that it is unrealistic for children to live in a completely isolated environment without touching electronic products. But at least as a parent, I have to try my best to minimize the harm.
How to reduce the negative effects of watching TV, there are three things to remember:
1. Make an agreement with your child for a reasonable length of time to watch TV.
First of all, I have an agreement with my children. No matter how interesting the TV content is, I can't watch TV for more than 1 hour every day. Moreover, I have made requirements for the sitting posture of children watching TV and the distance from TV.
In the process of watching TV, children are not allowed to stand still and "see the end". Every 20 minutes, give your eyes a rest and let your child stand up and walk around or look into the distance.
At first, the children refused to accept. They always like to watch TV where they think it is comfortable. They refused to give up until they finished watching their favorite cartoons. But at this time, I showed my parents' resolute attitude, refused to compromise, and told my children that there were only two choices, either watching TV according to our agreement or not watching TV. In the end, the child is obedient.
2. Filter some children's TV programs.
Now is the era of electronic information, it is undeniable that many TV programs are still targeted. If children want to learn from TV programs, it is necessary to choose TV programs.
TV programs with too much information are not suitable for children's age, which will only make children passively accept and damage the healthy development of the brain. Parents can choose some simple and educational TV programs to show their children.
3. Learn to help children transfer their interests.
The above two points are only "palliative", not "radical". To get rid of children's dependence on TV programs, it is necessary to help children transfer their interests, expand their life radius and tap more hobbies. For example, make an agreement with your child to finish reading two books a week, make an outing plan with your child, take your child to climb mountains, pick, and do handicrafts with your child.
Many children watch TV because their parents have no time to accompany them, so they kill time by TV programs. The more boring, the more dependent, and finally the more fascinated, forming a vicious circle. Once children find something fresher and more interesting, TV is naturally less attractive to them.
Write at the end:
Although TV is not a scourge, parents should not think that their children are hopeless just because they watch TV for a while. It is not a bad thing for their children to receive some fresh information from TV. But nothing can escape the law of "extremes meet", and watching TV is the same. If children are too addicted, it will have a negative impact.
