1. Cultivate hobbies and provide effective companionship
The main reason why children are addicted to playing electronic products is because there is no one to play with them, or their parents rarely accompany them.
Parents should increase the time they spend with their children as much as possible, and at the same time, accompany them effectively, instead of staying with their children, but doing their own things. You should accompany your children wholeheartedly, interact and communicate with them more, and understand their thoughts.
Cultivate children’s interests and hobbies. As long as they have active and healthy hobbies, devote time and attention to them, and gain fun and a sense of accomplishment from them, the child’s need for mobile phones will gradually decrease. Come down. Parents have the responsibility to help their children discover and cultivate various positive and healthy interests and hobbies. In particular, they should encourage their children to participate in activities where they can interact with children of the same age. This is the most fundamental and effective way. The more boring and empty the time, the greater the dependence on mobile phones.
For example, let the child read some interesting books, listen to more music, or take the child to play outdoors, let the child make friends, slowly develop the child's various other interests, and divert the child's attention on the mobile phone. attention.
2. Establish an "agreement" with your children
Remember that parents should not unilaterally set rules and force their children to implement them. It is recommended that parents communicate with their children first to fully understand their children's ideas, and then both parties** * Establish an "agreement" together, so that children participate in the formulation of rules and will be more proactive when executing them.
Both parties can make the following agreements:
1) Under what circumstances can you play, for example, can you play after finishing your homework every day;
2) How long should you spend playing on your mobile phone every day? segment, and how long you can play, for example, you can play for 1 hour between 16:00 and 20:00 after finishing homework;
3) What else can be played and what cannot be played;
4) What scenes cannot be played, such as eating, going to the toilet, etc.
5) What rewards can you get if you perform multiple times as agreed?
After the two parties establish an agreement, it must be strictly implemented. Parents cannot compromise just because their children are crying. When the children reach an agreement, do not forget to give the children the promised rewards, so as to cultivate the children's spirit of contract. .
The agreement between parents and children can be loosened first and then tightened step by step according to the actual situation.
3. Parents lead by example
The family environment is extremely important to the growth of children. Every word and deed of parents will directly affect the children. Children are born to observe and imitate the behavior of their parents.
The fairy tale king Zheng Yuanjie once told parents that if they want their children to develop a good habit of reading, then parents should let their children see themselves reading every day, even if it is just pretending, no more than 3 days. The child will take the initiative to pick up the book and start reading.
It is conceivable that when parents who always play with mobile phones ask their children not to play with mobile phones, their children must be very confused and may even ask their parents if they also often play with mobile phones. Therefore, as a parent, you must try to avoid playing with mobile phones in front of your children.
The process of educating and guiding children is a long one, so parents must have enough patience.
In fact, children play with mobile phones not because mobile phones are very attractive, but because time is not used better, and attention is naturally focused on mobile phones. Therefore, parents want to get rid of their children’s mobile phone addiction. , you should spend more time with your children to do other things. After all, companionship is the best education.
