The child feels restrained, friends constantly discuss some new game at school. To have to think of how to fence the child from influence of the industry of computer games, without having trodden on at the same time its corns.
Why so pulls children to the computer
First, it is important to understand that the dependence calls not the computer, but games which your child plays.
The computer is a usual thing for modern children. In it it is possible to watch animated films, to be engaged in creativity, to read, etc. If children spend too much time behind the monitor, perhaps, they just lack your attention or they have no other entertainments. What child will want to sit in the computer when his name is the amusement park or to play a ball?
Secondly, not all video games cause dependence. There is a large number of the developing and fascinating computer games which are pleasant to children, but at the same time leave them rather indifferent to the computer not to elicit at parents ten times a day "to pass only one level".
What games do not cause strong dependence in children
First of all are the games having a story line and its logical conclusion. When a game comes to an end, interest in it vanishes.
The most entertaining games are arenas, sandboxes and simulators. Children should not play such games. For example, "Dota 2", "Minecraft" and "The Sims" chained to the screen millions of people worldwide. From such toys and adults, sometimes, it is heavy to delay what already to speak about mentality of the child weak still. It is unlikely in this situation you will be able to do without hysterics.
It is not necessary to allow to play to children computer games with the open world (free movement according to the card) and big freedom of action. They are long on time and, are generally calculated on repeated passing. Such game can also cause dependence in the child.
The most optimal variant for children aged from 7 up to 15 years are kvestovy games for all age. It is possible to play such games all family and duration at them small.
What to do if the child has a computer dependence
First of all the child needs to let know that in the world, except entertainments there is also a work. And work of children is well to study and perform homeworks.
You spend with it more time. Be engaged in what, except games, is pleasant to it most of all.
In case of need introduce an incentive system. For the made lessons – there are so much minutes of a game in the computer. For excellent estimates in a quarter – a new game on the computer. The main thing that the child strictly observed the temporary restrictions set by you, and differently all efforts will be for nothing.
If nothing helps, it is necessary to address the expert.
You remember, long pastime behind computer games of people with not created mentality leads to very serious frustration, especially at preschool age.
