How should parents deal with “cell phone” and “Ipad” children?

Andy, a young boy, is also an Ipad controller, playing with the iPad can often not drink water and do not eat, after experiencing a play Ipad obsession from the stairs at home rolled down and broke a leg, the mother made the following move: summer vacation one day, the bear child as usual to get up, after eating breakfast to play Ipad, surprisingly found a small note on the Ipad: Mom from today onwards to implement a new law on the use of Ipad, Ipad is locked, the password is updated every day, you have to do three randomly selected chores in the specified order to find the password. If you don’t accept the new rules, you have the right to refuse, but your pad will be given to your cousin Jenny the day after tomorrow. more than 2pm, you’ve missed your chance to get the password. now go clean your little desk first! Dumbfounded, Andy was angry and annoyed, but his mother was not at home and his heart was crawling like an ant. When he cleaned up the messy books on top of his desk, he found another note stuck to the desk: That’s nice, after one more chore, please mop the floor! The little boy fetched a bucket of water, picked up the mop and mopped up the floor. As he crept on the floor, he found another note stuck under the couch: Go for it, mommy saw your effort! Throw out the kitchen trash and you’ll find the code. When the little boy picked up the kitchen garbage bag and threw it into the garbage can on the street, he saw a line of captions similar to the password on the side of the can, and it was his mother’s handwriting! No wonder the mom said it would be invalid after 2pm, because the community garbage truck comes to collect the garbage at 2pm every day! I have to praise this mom’s new rule, which not only limits the children’s Ipad playing to a certain extent, but also makes them develop good habits of doing housework. As it turns out, after just one week, Andy seems to be less enthusiastic about the Ipad and his attention is turning to playing basketball, which is a victory for homeschooling! Most attempts to stop children from playing with cell phones and Ipads, whether by reasoning or forcibly taking them away, end in failure because young children tend to be “forgetful” and reasoning works this time or next time, while forcibly taking them away is a direct consequence of children’s resistance and crying, and can even lead to children becoming stubborn. “You don’t let me play, I want to!” So, how should parents deal with “cell phone control” and “Ipad control” of children? 1, set the time, there are penalties for breaking the rules Many executives in the U.S. Silicon Valley, including Steve Jobs, they will limit their children’s use of digital products, such as forbidding them to use digital products on non-weekend evenings, and the weekend can also be very limited time to use digital products. Children playing with electronics, whether over-indulgent or strictly prohibited is not rational, grasp the right approach. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than a half hour to play, if you return it on time, you can play it next time, if you don’t return it on time, you won’t be able to play it next time, according to the rules. 2, shift attention When the child to play electronic products or can not stop, parents can shift the child’s attention, such as using toys to attract children, or with the child to a family game, to tell the child interesting stories, with the child painting, or take the child out for a walk to the park, etc., are good attention transfer method. The reason why children are addicted to playing electronic products, a large reason is due to no one accompanied by play, or parents less accompanied, or even parents take the initiative to provide children with “electronic nannies” caused. 3, parents set an example before children are born, they do not know what cell phones, Ipad is, because parents always play aside, so curious children also want to see what objects to attract parents, and then they will follow the parents look here scratch, there press a click, gradually attracted by the novelty inside. Whenever parents are using, children also want to play will often be more intense. Therefore, want children to play less electronic products, the role of parental example is particularly important. Therefore, when you get home from work, parents should put aside their cell phones and pads and play with their children, which is the most ideal way to quit this addiction.
