Children are addicted to mobile phones. How can parents help their children quit using mobile phones?

Nowadays, many children are controlled by mobile phones and have become "mobile phone slaves" and "head-downers". They are addicted to play and neglect their studies. Parents are distressed and are calling: Who will save my children?

Why is mobile phone addiction so scary? So that it can control the child's informed thoughts and actions, making the child addicted to it and unable to extricate himself?

Children are innocent. It is their nature to be curious and playful. Wherever there is happiness, entertainment, excitement and temptation, there is temptation. The powerful visual dynamics of the mobile network completely brings children into a new virtual world. The pleasure that cannot be obtained in real life can be found on the Internet; the stimulation that cannot be obtained in real life can be obtained in the mobile network. The virtual online world is a brand new world where you can do whatever you want. There are no constraints or disciplines. You can constantly transcend and break through. The sense of achievement, happiness and gain can make the blood all over your body boil.

As a result, children who enter this world generally cannot escape this kind of demonic temptation and control. Once you get into it, you quickly become addicted. Once Internet addiction is formed, it is like taking electronic heroin, which is difficult to get rid of and quit.

So, how to use scientific methods to help children quit using mobile phones and return to normal study life?

I recommend several methods for reference only

First, get to know your mobile phone again.

Mobile phones are not a monster. There is nothing wrong with mobile phones. The fault is that children cannot use them correctly. Mobile phones are very important tools in life. Its invention has almost changed people's way of life, communication and work. But at the same time, the negative impacts that come with it are also increasing day by day. To use your mobile phone correctly, you need to get to know it again. Parents and children must sit together and have a good discussion about mobile phones. Three questions: 1. What are mobile phones used for? 2. What are the dangers of playing with mobile phones? 3. How to use mobile phone correctly?

Guide children to correctly understand the pros and cons of mobile phones, make correct judgments from their own hearts, achieve their own voluntary psychology of quitting mobile phones, and lay a psychological foundation for subsequent "help and quit". I do not recommend forced control. Not only will forced control fail to solve the problem, it may also bring about a series of other unexpected problems. Positive guidance and guidance so that children have a correct understanding are effective education and help.

2. Shift your attention and withdraw from time and space.

If you want to help your children quit using mobile phones, you must first stay away from mobile phones. When children go to school, they must not bring mobile phones, especially smartphones (this rule must be firmly adhered to). As long as he doesn't bring his mobile phone to school, he won't have the opportunity to touch it, so there's no need to worry. The key is education management after school or when you return home during holidays.

Three suggestions: 1. Parents should set an example by not playing with mobile phones at home; 2. Resolutely not provide mobile phones to children; 3. As long as you have time, take your children outdoors for sports, outings, mountain climbing, and labor , consume physical strength and energy, divert and distract attention.

Third, interest substitution, withdrawal from the focus.

Once a child is addicted to mobile phones and the Internet, if he is forced to quit, he will become restless, restless, angry, inattentive, and his mind will be filled with mobile phones, games, etc. Withdrawal symptoms of cravings and attention being all on the phone. At this time, you have to find another point of interest to replace the mobile phone. It is best to start with things that the child is usually interested in, likes, and has hobbies in this area, so that it is easier to succeed in substitution. It will be difficult to replace at the beginning, and it is almost impossible to replace. Parents need to do the following three things: 1. Enlighten and guide, strengthen awareness, and constantly encourage; 2. Participate in it and be a helper and solid backing for children to shift their attention; 3. Supervise , persevere, check in at stages, record success, and share joy.

Fourth, companionship and guidance, and abstinence from emotional needs.

After being addicted to the mobile phone and Internet, and after suddenly quitting, it is like a baby suddenly being weaned from milk, or a smoker suddenly being weaned from cigarettes. There is a sense of emptiness, helplessness, loss, panic, and emotional nowhere. sustenance.

At this time, parents should intervene in the whole process and provide high-quality companionship. It is recommended to do the following: 1. Companion with warmth, neither impatient nor impatient, and patient guidance; 2. Comfort and persuasion, chatting, and positive encouragement; 3. Avoid Be alone, have fun together, eat and study together.

(The reason why it is important to emphasize avoiding being alone is because when his parents are around, he has emotional sustenance. Once he is alone, his mind will be filled with his mobile phone.)

Fifth, Motivating and affirming, quitting based on psychological needs

One of the reasons why mobile phones can become addictive is that in the virtual world, you can get a constant sense of achievement, pride, strength, and victory. Once they quit using mobile phones, it will be difficult to find this kind of psychological needs, and they will become negative, helpless, and uninterested in anything. At this time, parents must make up for their psychological needs from the perspectives of motivation, encouragement, praise, affirmation, support, and trust, and do the following: 1. Explore the advantages and affirm them in a timely manner; 2. Compare today with yesterday, and praise He makes little progress every day; 3. Clearly express trust and support and encourage him to persevere.

Sixth, persevere and quit fundamentally physically and mentally.

To help children completely quit using mobile phones physically and mentally, parents need to accompany their children for a long time, check in every day and every week, record every day's success, and share and talk about every day's harvest and joy. I believe After three months, children can basically completely quit using mobile phones physically and mentally.

At that time, I would like to congratulate you and your children, and congratulate your family on returning to normal learning life.
