What should children do if they love to play mobile phones?

Do you feel that the baby is self-taught, and the mobile phone, pad and various apps are handy. At first glance, there are more paintings than playing with small hands? What is this for? We have a gifted baby?

First, why do children play mobile phones better than you?

A new study found that children are more likely to solve this problem because they have more flexible thinking or bigger brain holes.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, found in experiments that children aged 4-5 have a better understanding of the principles of such toys than college students.

Psychologist AlisonGopnik and her colleague ChristopherLucas wanted to know why children's brains are so good at learning quickly, so they found 100 kindergarten children aged 4-5, took them into the laboratory and gave them a music box. In order to put music into this box, you must put mud blocks of various shapes on it. The experimenter first showed the children the results of different shapes and combinations, and then let the children try to start the music box themselves.

"We want to know whether very young children can recognize causality." Gopnik said. As a control, they also tested 170 undergraduates. "Surprisingly, children are not only very good at doing this kind of thing, they do it better than adults."

So why do a group of children who can't even tie their shoelaces play with these devices better than adults? You know, according to the traditional view, children of this age should not understand such an abstract concept of causality.

Gopnik believes that this is because children solve problems differently from adults.

Children will try all kinds of novel ideas and unusual strategies. For example, "if children see that a square and a circle can play music separately, they will immediately think of putting a square and a circle on the music box, even if the experimenter has never done so."

This kind of flexible thinking, exploring every seemingly impossible hypothesis, is the characteristic of children's thinking. Exploratory learning is natural for children. On the contrary, adults will only jump to the most obvious plan and stick to it, even if it doesn't work. This narrow and fixed way of thinking may be useful for some problems, but Gopnik said, "Children are better at solving problems when their solutions are unexpected."

The harm of children's love to play with mobile phones

Destroy the nervous system. Research in the British magazine Microwave Theory and Technology shows that the skull thickness of children is obviously lower than that of adults, and the absorption rate of radiation is obviously higher than that of adults. The child's nervous system is in the development stage, and the potential threat is even greater. A test by clermont-ferrand University shows that when children use mobile phones, their brains absorb 60% more electromagnetic waves than adults. Recently, the British "Daily Mail" even wrote that children's use of mobile phones can cause health problems such as memory loss and sleep disorders. Dr. Gerard Kaidu of the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom warned that cell phone radiation would destroy the normal function of children's nervous system, which would lead to a series of problems such as memory loss, headache and poor sleep.

Affect growth and development. Large doses of electromagnetic are not only harmful to children's growth and development, but also bring diseases such as asthma and leukemia. Ren Yixun, a neonatal expert at Beijing Children's Hospital, said that children are in the stage of growth and development, and the water content of body tissues is richer than that of adults. The more water, the greater the damage to organs. Therefore, microwave is the most harmful to human eyes. In addition, long-term texting may also lead to abnormal finger development in children; Playing games with head down is very harmful to children's cervical vertebrae.

Affect the thinking mode. Phone calls and text messages deprive children of the opportunity to communicate face to face with others, which easily makes them timid, lonely and paranoid. A study by Professor Abu Lamson, an epidemiologist at Monash University in Australia, shows that teenagers who love texting are hard to think deeply, eager for results and more impulsive than their peers. Using the associative input function of mobile phone to send text messages will make children only pursue speed and ignore accuracy when doing other things, which will greatly affect their way of thinking.

Indulge in games and deepen barriers. Sending text messages to classmates and friends often may make children reluctant to tell their parents the truth, and deepen their parents' sense of loss of control and the gap between parents and children. On the other hand, with the development of modern communication technology, mobile phones can surf the Internet anytime and anywhere, which makes it more convenient to download games. Some children may be too addicted to games, which will affect their growth.

Easy to be deceived and blindly compare. Mobile phone fraud has been repeatedly banned, exposing children without judgment to too much information, which is easy to bring them danger. Mobile phones are updated quickly, which makes it easy for children to covet vanity and blindly compare.

Second, what should children do if they love to play mobile phones?

Although children love to play with mobile phones and play smoothly, it is self-evident that frequent playing with mobile phones will do harm to eyes and body. What should my baby do if he often plays with his mobile phone?

Children's understanding of mobile games mostly comes from adults, so adults should not play mobile games in front of children. In addition, some parents take the initiative to take out their mobile phones to play with their children in order to coax them, so that once the children feel the joy of the game, it will be difficult to brake in the future.

If the baby is addicted to mobile games, parents can observe which part of the phone the baby likes to play, such as listening to music, pressing the number keys with their hands, watching the bright colors of the phone, and then changing the phone into a toy.

Buy a mobile phone toy as a substitute for your child, or buy a mobile phone model directly, or try it.

If children can't be completely away from mobile games, parents are advised to arrange game time with their children on the one hand, so that children can master the time selectively, on the other hand, they should divert their attention, encourage their children to participate in group activities, communicate with their peers and participate in outdoor activities to expand their horizons and interests.

When a child cries and plays mobile games, first find other toys to attract his attention, don't be soft-hearted, don't be satisfied with crying, and unreasonable demands can't be satisfied even if you cry again.

What should children do if they love to play mobile phones? Parents should use clever methods to help their children quit, not just scold.
