I see the new generation of children as victims of the modern world and rapidly developing technology
Children who are deprived of emotional expressions, deprived of the pleasure of playing games, and who grow up without limits in their parents' desire to raise 'free children' or 'self-confident children'.
In fact, they are neglected and harmed without realizing it. He sees that this segment is children. In fact, I think it wouldn't be wrong to say that
we are now in a time where normality is seen as success. Parents who say 'I feed my child without tablets' as if they have won a great victory.
So what will happen to these children? This is where I start to worry the most, as an expert
. First of all, the rapidly increasing attention problems in children who grow up away from old generation paper and pencil activities and manual skills prevent children from maintaining healthy relationships and cause their academic success to decrease. In addition
as rapid access to information makes many individuals impatient, ambitious, and easily bored, the child's
probability of being patient in accessing information is gradually decreasing. He/she has an expectation that any information he/she will acquire will be colorful or exciting. Since the existing education system does not support this, problems in the academic field are increasing. The article progressed like a disaster scenario from the beginning
So how can we get this situation under control? It is useful to focus on this
. It is very important for parents to be an example to the child before the child is born. Because
Children take their parents as an example and imitate them, starting from the early development period. In addition
In addition, it is very important that children between the ages of 0-3 do not use tablets and phones. After the age of 3, this use must be time limited or purposeful. Parents need to make additional efforts to ensure that the child enjoys classic games
and toys
. At this point, I have received feedback from many parents that they find playing games boring. At this point, we recommend that parents who have difficulties get support from an expert who has received play therapy training. I know. Involving the child in the daily routine, apart from playing,
and giving him/her age-appropriate tasks is a very important point for his/her development.
Once the child takes part in the routine life (such as cleaning, cooking, shopping), over time
Moves synchronously with you as a part of your family.
Limited technology use, classical method playing, planning out-of-home activities with children except for the child's normal routine
is also very important. It is possible to say that technology addiction, like all other addictions, is caused by emotional gaps. In order to fill this emotional gap, it is important to spend quality time with the child. At this point, I suggest activities that will both spend time with the child and arouse the child's curiosity in different areas of life. However, these activity suggestions should not be perceived as the child taking a course.
The suggested activities should be done together with the parents. It is important that these activities are not done with the awareness of homework, duty
and responsibility. I don't think it should be an obligation to continue the same activity all the time
. For example, one weekend you might go swimming, another weekend you might leave food and water to stray animals (in winter), another weekend you might go for a nature walk and collect beautiful leaves or stones. Having a picnic, going to the theater, walking, doing puzzles, developing a hobby related to handicrafts, and planting flowers are just some of the thousands of activities that can be done. As I mentioned before, you can turn household chores into creative and fun activities and share them with children. For example, making pickles together,
cutting noodles or preparing vegetables for the winter will enable children to acquire new information and experience a different excitement while consuming them.
In short, as long as you are not stuck in shopping malls
with your children and live a consumption-oriented life, your children will be able to grow up as individuals who can express their emotions easily,
enjoy life, and enjoy living.
