Life has become very difficult for everyone during these quarantine days. But it has become much more difficult for children. Children who could not leave the house and who had no one coming to their home began to get bored, irritable and increased their fondness for technology.
Cartoons, computer games, and internet use can be supportive and educational for the child's development. While it is necessary to set limits even in normal times, the importance of setting limits has increased in this period. Not controlling the time spent on the Internet can develop technology addiction, which causes pathological disorders when away from the Internet.
A child's excessive use of computers and the internet may affect the child's healthy development and require psychological treatment.
Families should not allow this indefinitely so that they can have fun and we can do our work, and they should definitely set limits. In these days when children are very bored, families should spend more active and quality time with children, play games and read books. When spending time with the child, you should not rush, on the contrary, you should be slow.
Wherever he is, the child has to rush for something. However, the child's own nature is slow. Not being able to fasten buttons or tie their shoes quickly can be given as examples of the incompetence exhibited by young children that infuriate their families. Kids can't do almost anything quickly. Families intervene and can do such work for them. This increases children's tension and frustration. The same is necessary when spending time together.
In order to prevent technology addiction, the family should stop, slow down and do every activity with the child slowly and with pleasure. Families should not think that no matter what interaction is going to be done, then let's get on with my business. The activity should be slow and the duration should be long. In this way, the child's fondness for technology will decrease.
