While technology is indispensable today; It has become a source of complaint by families. Breaking off family communication; Technology appears as a factor that causes perception and focus problems in children and further reduces the number of patience.
While it has such negative effects, it has also become a tool that must be used effectively. However, what should we do to turn it into a tool rather than a goal?
First of all, it is necessary to start by remembering that your children do not have any income to go to the store and buy those technical tools; Because the technological devices you buy cause a crisis afterwards. However, your children do not have the opportunity to go to the store and say "I want this model, this feature, this price, this tool" and buy it. It becomes a problem after the technical inventories we have taken.
I would like to emphasize the harms in detail so that we can realize the seriousness of the situation. Young bodies are physically loaded with radiation in addition to its psychological effects. First of all, there is an increased risk of heart attack in children who are constantly exposed to technology. It also brings with it diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and poor memory in the future.
Another important point is; Children who constantly want to change channels and games start to get bored immediately. Excessive use of technology; It can trigger many syndromes, including developmental delay, childhood depression, anxiety, attention deficit, autism and bipolar. Instead, let's play ball, do sports, etc. It has more contribution. Because physical activities help focus attention.
We always have to think in terms of future periods; The table that appears is children who cannot perform operations, have difficulty understanding what they read, get bored easily, and have problems focusing. Constant data loading, new games and visual presentations alone will not be productive. Because the actual information retrieval; The key is to put them through the perception process, experience them and turn them into practice.
Well, this technology is an inevitable end, it is not possible to destroy it completely; What should we do then? Of course, technology is an element that cannot be completely eliminated, but it can be limited. It is in the hands of us parents.
The limits to be set vary according to age groups;
0-2 age group; If possible, avoid exposure to technology; because this is very important for language development.
2-5 age group; They can watch things with non-aggressive visuals for a maximum of one hour.
For those aged 6-18, it will be enough to do their lessons first and then watch for 2 hours.
You should not ignore this issue. ; the crises you experience while setting clear boundaries or the technological devices you give your child to stand still while you do work; Every decision you make is your child's future.
