What mistakes make parents in the fight against the child's dependence on gadgets?
Maria Grigoryan, a psychologist and an expert on problems of parent-child relations, who is well-known on the Internet, told her parents what mistakes do they make when trying to fight a child’s dependence on gadgets.
It is no secret that this dependence is there, and now not only experts in the field of psychotherapy, but moms and dads themselves speak about it. And where there is talk, there is active action. But, as it turned out, not all actions of parents are correct and are beneficial.
The biggest mistake is a total ban. Parents who prohibit the child of the smartphone or tablet, only heated children's interest in these things.
The stricter the restrictions, the more you want to break them. Therefore, according to Grigorian, it’s wiser not to prohibit, but limit use in time.
Often parents believe that having written down the child in several sections, they will occupy with that his free time and will relieve him of dependence on gadgets. In fact, everything is going wrong. If the child is busy, but not with what he wants, but with what mom and dad want, the game will be much more interesting for him, and the addiction will only grow. Output - give the child the opportunity to do exactly what he wants to do.
Children copy us adults. And because parents need to take care of themselves - how much time they spend with gadgets. It is important that parents also have hobbies and hobbies, then the child will not have a negative example of an example before his eyes.
Will help joint leisure, weekend spent with the whole family. Where to go and what to do is up to you, but it is important that it is interesting for both the child and the adult.
The mistake, according to the psychologist, is made by parents who do not attempt to talk with their children about gadget addiction. If you keep silent about her, she will not go anywhere. Mom and dad, worried about how much time a child spends with a tablet in her hands, definitely need to learn share your feelings with the child.
Earlier, we recall the dependence on gadgets and social networks, WHO recognized the disease and attributed it to the category of mental disorders.
