What really develop in children a TV and a laptop – Russian newspaper

90% of Russians use a mobile phone. Two-thirds of regular work at the computer. Every third have a netbook or smartphone. Is it any wonder that our children gadgets attract much more than a new toy or the most delicious candy?

Our family is no exception. After a year of my sons was impossible to deceive podsunuv them off the phone. They had to press a button, move your finger around the screen and see the results of their labors: listen to music, take pictures or just change the desired settings mom.

Close to the two they already knew how to call dad and grandfather on Skype, which indicates to YouTube and find the right cartoon. Three senior Vanya received as a gift from his uncle, despite the objections timid mother, its first tablet. My younger brother grew up in the 90s, when computers have become firmly embedded in our lives. For it is natural to read books in electronic form, to find information on the Internet, to have friends all over the world, with whom he communicates through social networks. There was a time when he would sit for hours and nights in front of the computer, playing another toy. He is now a busy business man, who once spend time on childish pranks. And he firmly believes that the child must be able to use all the modern gadgets, otherwise it will be uncompetitive in today’s high-tech world. In addition, the forbidden fruit is known to be especially sweet.

Then another three-year Vanya instantly appreciated all the possibilities of personal tablet:

– Vanya, where did you get this “shooter”, you five minutes ago taught letters …

– The letters ended … And here I new game set … Look, zombie uncle runs … shoots … There was a broads …

I had to stop attempts rigidly self-pumping games. You can install the game only after consultation with mom or dad, and in the case of amateur – Unauthorized game immediately removed, and with it three more first available. Having lost a couple of times so favorite Angry birds, Ivan learned that too much independence is punishable. Now he teaches this younger brother.

The tablet is very helps us on the road or the clinic: the child busy, is quiet … Rarely, but sometimes kids get into the hands of a gadget that does not interfere with my mother, which an urgent need to prepare a meal or a little focus and work.

Cartoons – is a separate issue. My children can sit for hours in front of a TV or computer screen, even forget about food and sleep. Recently, waking up at 3 am, I found that my dove sitting side by side on the couch under a blanket … and watching the next series of “Masha and the Bear.” However, they did not forget to cover the door and turned on the sound softly. Five minutes later they were lying in cribs and carefully snuffle. It was necessary to introduce in this issue dictatorship: they watch cartoons half an hour before going to bed at night, on weekends for about an hour. But they love to go on a visit to the grandparents, because that’s where you can watch cartoons much as you want.

Doctors, psychologists and educators in one voice warning about the dangers of televisions, computers and phones. Children move a little and begin to suffer from obesity. They spend hours staring at the screen and very early wear glasses. Virtual communication is, of course, can be useful, but it becomes a serious problem when children can not find friends in the real world.

But many of today’s parents really do not understand what to do without young children cartoons and computer games.

– We are at home all day … – says a friend of my mother. – We sat down to draw a couple of pictures for 10 minutes – enough. Polepili 15 minutes. And then we have cartoons, because my mother must at least make breakfast, make blanks for lunch, put the laundry, clean the kitchen … Daughter of the game itself, but because of their age often switched, and I’m not ready to offer new games every 15 20 minutes.

What about grandparents raised our parents, and they, in turn, brought us without electronic magic wand with Wi-Fi? After all, it is not in cartoons and iPhones. Today’s children should be able to use an iPhone and a laptop, as well as washing machine, microwave, stereo and other electrical devices, which have become an integral part of our lives. My boys gladly help me to push the buttons of existing appliances, closely watched as Dad and grandpa something repairing and rejoice when they rely on something to hold or twist.

Looking at a thick book on programming languages, he solemnly said, “Then I esteem.” Most likely, something to read, so my grandfather would try.

As far as possible we try to fill with her husband lives of children in different events, actions and experiences. Preparing for school senior this really helps. And often in the evening they are tired but happy like, put to bed, not even remembering the evening cartoon. And after drinking kefir put, they ask: “Mom, read more about Chipollino”.

Expert Opinion

Tatiana Egorova, educational psychologist GOOSE THAT “Center for Child Psychoneurology”, author of the website www.detpsycholog .ru :

– Today, no one is surprised by the presence of a child’s tablet or mobile phone. And at home – the computer and TV. Often, electronic gadgets become literally “second nanny” for the baby from an early age. To take a crumb – parents give “at the mercy” of some old ayfonchik. Like, let him play and pampered, and he was good, albeit evolving! And my mother – at least a half-hour break.

Parents with children three years and older tablet or TV become a permanent magic wand. While mom is busy household chores or rest – a child with pleasure watching cartoons, loads an infinite game, depending on your preferences.

The boys – this endless race, shooting, mysterious mazes, games Thinking, building construction , assembly machines … Girls – selection of a variety of jewelry, hairstyles, clothes for princes and princesses, playing dentist, surgeon …

The favorite for many children are “Talking Tom” and “Talking Cat Angela “game farm, growing a variety of pets. Children come into interactive communication with the electronic pets talk to them, they sing songs, listen to them with enthusiasm response muttering, stroked, fed, put to bed, satisfied with hygiene procedures.

The power of attraction of electronic toys – in an apparent developmental environment in which the child is necessary that the minimal effort (both physical and intellectual), the rest of it will make a clever computer program with colorful graphics and special effects.

As far as it is useful for development? A toy for a child in its purest form – is a subject with which the child learns to explore the world in all its diversity, due to its senses.

From the psychology known that the game in children goes through several stages. It all starts with manipulative activities. Scarce acquainted with the object world. He turns the toy, perceiving it with all your senses: it can sniff, shake, throw, to taste, to feel its texture hands, grasp its size, shape, color, weight, hear its sound, and thus the kid understands from experience it all physical parameters.

So developing sensory and motor perception, memory, thinking, motor, emotional sphere and other important mental processes.

No wonder toys for babies and young children in the older preschool – vary greatly.

And now the question. Can electronic toy baby offer a full sensory and motor development? Can such a game feel, touch, feel its weight in the form of three-dimensional image? Physically simulate the situation? Lose the plot, not imposed by a computer program? To move out of their childhood experiences lived through the situation before the game? To realize his plan?

Unfortunately, no. And the child is severely limited in their knowledge. Someone poorly developed motor skills, both small and large, one is not able to correctly identify the color of objects, one does not know to collect a pyramid, focusing on the value of the rings, and someone can not build just a sequence of elements, for example, geometric shapes. And such examples from my practice psychologist, unfortunately, are common.

As you get older, children lack the conception and incarnation, they are not able to play a variety of social roles, as many electronic games ready to give only the plot.

Does this mean that the tablet – evil? Either. If your pipsqueak fully interact with real toys, it is interesting to them and it can be traced all the stages of psychological development of the game – you can not worry. Such a child will not hinder the tablet its general development with the strict dosing time on computer game.

But if electronic gadget is the ultimate in a child’s life – this means parents somewhere made a mistake with the boundaries and it is time to sound the alarm, rescue “tablet addict” from “Computer needle”.

According to doctors, today’s children learn without problems tablets, computers and any other equipment, almost from birth. The problem is in the fact that most parents only indulge their children in it. As a result, in the 10 – 11 years (and sometimes before) the child becomes addicted to games and mobile devices, and solve the problem without medical assistance is practically impossible.
