Such strict defense will only create a prison, and children will still see TV, computers and mobile phones from other channels. My friend's house had a projector, so we took our son as a guest, and the two children watched two episodes of popular science animated short films together. My son was very interested, which became a topic of discussion on our way home.
And the benefits of watching TV can't be finished in one or two points.
In terms of knowledge acquisition, some popular science films about the mysteries of the universe and magical experiments, as well as some documentaries and anime idiom stories about scientific exploration, are really very knowledgeable.
For example, in terms of growth, children will exercise their execution in the process of watching TV, so as to know what "self-control" is.
For example, from the social aspect, the TV and anime we watch together are all children's social languages. As long as we can talk together, it is easy to blend in and it is also good for children's character development.
Besides, as a working mother, we really need to catch our breath. Let the children watch a short film for three to five minutes occasionally, and the children will be fine and the sky will not fall. But for us, maybe we can really have a rest and blood will come back to life.
In fact, we all know that watching TV is an important source of knowledge. But why are children "afraid" of watching TV? One is worried about children's myopia, and the other is worried about children's addiction. Since we can't create a vacuum-free environment for children, we need to think about how to deal with the relationship between children and TV.
First of all, we should make a plan to watch TV. For the purpose of simple rules and easy acceptance by children, there is only one premise, that is, this rule must be observed by the whole family.
In this process, we discuss with him when we can't watch TV (such as when the whole family is eating together); How long can everyone watch TV every day, when can everyone watch TV or play mobile phone every day, why can't a family watch TV and play mobile phone at a certain time, why can everyone be different, and so on.
We need to screen and restrict what children watch and choose programs suitable for children's age. It can be an animated short film or some early education classes, which are mainly suitable for children and children are interested in.
This is very important. We can discuss what we have seen with our children after TV, which may become an exclusive parent-child topic between us and our children. If you encounter interesting problems in the process of watching, you can also press the pause button to discuss communication. Many times, these will extend into our lives and become daily topics.
Children need emotional companionship and interaction most, and watching TV is never his first choice. What we should do is not to create a sterile vacuum environment, but to help children see that "happiness" is varied, not just "watching TV".
Children who love reading will not always like TV; A baby who loves sports will not always shrink back in front of the TV. Playing fun games with people you like, who will just stare at TV?
Many times, children are pushed to the TV by us. When we are too busy and tired, I hope the children will not bother us; When they need us, we let them play by themselves for a while. The child is happy to watch TV alone. After watching it for a long time, we began to ban it again. In the final analysis, this process is the embodiment of our "words and deeds".
We should help children realize that "we are the people who give meaning to electronic products", not "they are more interesting and meaningful than us".
I'm busy at work, so you can play by yourself first. When we push the child away from us and he is really bored, TV naturally becomes his companion.
Let children learn to watch TV and watch the right TV, which is the positive message we send to children!
Facing the fact that children love watching TV, we don't need to "demonize" TV, because our own experience also shows that watching TV is happiness. As long as we choose the right way to deal with it, we will like it.
