Speaking of cell phones, I myself have a bad habit, every day the phone does not leave the hand, away from the phone I do not feel safe, all the baby moms have self-discipline, in the time with the baby to play the phone? We often receive in the background of the baby mother’s advice: how old can the baby play with the phone? Does playing with cell phones affect babies? How old can the baby play with the cell phone? There are no clear research results on this question, but the general consensus among pediatricians and experts is that electronic media is detrimental to the brain development of infants up to 1 year old. The American Academy of Pediatrics in 2016 introduced a revised recommendation on the use of electronic products for children: 1, children under 18 months should not use electronic products, except for video phone calls with their families; 2, 18 to 24 months old, if you want to introduce, it is recommended that the quality of the content should be screened and controlled in advance, and it is best that the parents can watch it with their children and narrate the content; 3, 2 to 5 years old, the use of daily 3, 2 ~ 5 years old children, the daily use of time should not exceed 1 hour, and to ensure that there are enough “unplugged” activity time every day. At present, there are many opinions that babies should not be allowed to play with cell phones and other electronic products before the age of 1, and the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests 18 months. According to Grandma Bao’s suggestion, it’s better to contact with electronic products later, so please don’t allow babies to play with cell phones and other electronic products before the age of 18 months. Although after 18 months you can let the baby with cell phones and other electronic products but not without limitations randomly use Oh, cell phones on the growth and development of the baby still has a lot of impact. The harm of cell phones can not be ignored Scientific research shows that children use cell phones too early, use too long may produce cell phone dependence, physical and mental damage in many ways. 1, destroying the nervous system: British “Microwave Theory and Technology” journal research shows that children’s skull thickness is significantly lower than that of adults, the absorption rate of radiation is significantly higher than that of adults, the child’s nervous system is in the development stage, the potential threat is greater. France Clermont-Ferrand University, a test shows that children use cell phones, the brain of the cell phone electromagnetic wave absorption than adults 60% more than a series of problems caused by memory loss, headaches, poor sleep and so on. 2, affect growth and development: children are in the stage of growth and development, the body tissue in the water content than the adult rich, and cell phone microwave has the more water the more harm to the organ characteristics, thus, microwave damage to the human eye is the biggest. In addition, low head to play games, etc., will bring harm to the child’s cervical spine. 3, affecting the mode of thinking: phone calls and text messages deprive children of the opportunity to communicate with others face to face, it is easy for children to become timid, lonely, paranoid. A study by Prof. Abu Ramson, an epidemiologist at Monash University in Australia, shows that teenagers who love to send text messages are difficult to think deeply about problems, eager to seek results in everything, and more impulsive in character than their peers. 4, affecting physical health: cell phone due to small screen small font, the user is often stiff in a posture, easy to cause shoulder and neck muscle tension, strain, thus injuring the neck, shoulders, vertebrae, children’s bone development has not yet been shaped, if there is no timely adjustment of the posture or rest, prolonged use of cell phones will result in more serious injuries than adults. 5, affect the eyesight: children will be born with interest in light, and cell phone screen belongs to the glare, infants and young children are not fully developed eyes can not stand such stimulation, eye fatigue easily. Adults staring at the computer screen for a period of time will also feel dry eyes, not to mention the delicate eyes of infants and young children. From birth to two years old, is the key period of visual development, if inappropriate use of eyes during this period, the visual system is damaged, easy to cause low vision. Nowadays, many parents do not realize this, think that playing with the phone is not a big problem, but really wait until the need to go to the hospital, find a doctor, with glasses, regret are too late! Here is a summary of several ways to help children get rid of cell phone control: 1, distraction: when the child cries to play mobile games, parents can give the child to find the favorite toys to attract his attention away from the children do not because the children are crying on the soft to meet them. Or take him outside to play, however, do not take the phone out, but with his interest in the game to divert attention. 2, to the child to set the rules of playing the phone: older children if the habit of playing the phone, you can first slowly reduce his time to play the phone. At the same time, parents should give the child to play cell phone rules, such as each time can only play 5 minutes or 10 minutes. If the child complies, praise him or her. If the child does not comply, do not scold, but directly take the phone from the hands of the child, or appropriate punishment. 3, parents should adhere to the principle: to the child to set the rules, parents must first abide by the rules, that is, the child cries again, but also to adhere to the principle. If the parents compromise and let the child play with the cell phone because the child cries, then the child will cry as a weapon against the parents. 4, parents should set a good example: many children love to play with cell phones, and parents have a lot to do. Therefore, parents must pay attention to their own behavior if they want their children not to play with cell phones for a long time, or not to play with cell phones. Some parents take the initiative to take out their cell phones in order to coax their children to play, which is a wrong approach. 5, cultivate interest: the more boring and empty time, the greater the dependence on the phone, as long as a positive and healthy hobbies, and time and attention into it, but also can get fun and sense of accomplishment from it, the need for cell phones will be greatly reduced. As a parent, it is your responsibility to help your child discover and develop a variety of positive and healthy hobbies. The best gift a parent can give a child is companionship, whether it is taking him outdoors to enjoy nature or playing games with him at home, the important thing is to be with him. If parents give up being with their children and developing various habits because of their workplace jobs, this is tantamount to giving up their responsibilities and rewards of being a parent.
