Whatever the child was amusing, if only it would not roar. Is that familiar? Of course, but how without it. You stand in line, for example, in some state institution - for a long, dreary, and a child, exhausted from boredom, begins to munch. Nerves to the limit, before closing half an hour left - will they have time to accept? And then the kid adds degrees to the heat of passion. “Here is a tablet for you, Vasya, play quietly,” you say. The child begins to wash and feed the cat Tom with pleasure, you mentally thank the creators of the gadget, the queue sighs in relief - there are no longer any children's tantrums.
What to do: firstly, do not do this - among other things, the child will quickly catch the connection “tears - getting what you want”, and you will get a little blackmailer at the exit. Secondly, learn to distract your son or daughter in other ways. Finger games are suitable for the smallest, books for a little older children, a small notebook with a pencil, games in the cities.
2. Santa Claus gave
Your child, maybe, doesn’t even know what kind of thing this is, but you give him an ultramodern gadget for his birthday or New Year. And because the neighbor bought her daughter and in general everyone has what we are worse. And now your daughter, like the neighbor, is becoming "no worse." Only she stopped drawing (or dancing, or reading), and completely plunged into new opportunities. Who's guilty? Really, the inventors of the smartphone?
What to do: if possible, buy a tablet just like that, and not as a birthday present. And then only when the child is old enough (from 10 years old) and the gadget will be really useful to him - take a picture of the school schedule, check the information on the Internet for a report, download a training program in Russian. In this case, the teenager will perceive the technique not as a means for thoughtless entertainment, but as a necessary thing in the household - like a washing machine or refrigerator.
3. Vacuum, then you get
Vacuumed, wash the dishes, take out the trash, do the lessons - underline what is necessary - then you will get a "toy". By the way, the situation is dangerous not only because the child "poyuzat gadget." He will quickly get used to the “you to me, I to you” system. Do not be surprised if, after a year, at the request for help with cleaning, the child will answer: “What do you mean to me?”
What to do: do not build tablets and others like them in an award status. It is better to follow the principle of “Cause is time, and fun is hour.” All entertainment - after the important things are completed.
4. I can, you can not
And here is the most important point - our own example. If you sit on Facebook for hours, check in and like, and your husband starts the morning with a shower, toilet and tablet, then the child will do the same. Even if you forbid him. Even if you give half an hour a day. The forbidden fruit is sweet - this time, a personal example - the most effective, these are two. Get up from the couch, go for a walk together, to the park, to the museum - wherever there is nature, lively communication and reality. And believe me, the time spent with parents, children value much more than virtuality and endless games.
