It has become a common phenomenon that has many parents who let their children – even from pre-school age – fun to spend time watching television or playing computer games. For parents, as long as children feel happy, this habit is never considered as a threat.
And get the children to watch television or play computer, proved to have a negative impact, particularly for brain and psychological development of children.
The danger of the threat and the adverse effects of television and electronic media on child another development disclosed by an expert from the UK recently. One important message is pre-school children should not be allowed to watch television or play with computers, so that her brain develop properly.
A child development expert, Dr Aric Sigman says that there has been much scientific evidence that shows that the habit of sitting in front of a computer or television screen for hours can cause a bad influence on children, especially for the long term.
As reported by Sky, on Monday (18 / 2), he has pressed for the enactment of such a “buffer zone” that limits pre-school children to access all kinds of electronic media.
Sigman said the British government’s policy, which allows the teachers are legally demonstrate how to operate a computer or television would have resulted in the children are in great risk.
Children aged three years who watched television proved to have difficulties with math, reading and language comprehension in school. DVDs that claim to train the babies and children who could just walk it expected to hamper the process of language learning.
In addition, violent programs, movies and games are also known to affect the work function of the brains of children, and to encourage the emergence of aggression and impulsivity.
According to data owned by Dr Sigman, children in England aged 11 to 15 years now many who spent nearly half his time by watching TV and playing computer games.
More than half the population of children aged three years in England has a television in their bedroom and two-thirds of whom are always watching television before going to school.
Children who have television in their bedroom tend to be difficult to develop the ability to read when six years moved. And a quarter of children aged five years in the UK have recorded their own laptop computers or devices.
“These statistics should make us to consider a policy to make protection for children in their development, providing a kind of buffer zone of the electronic media is so powerful, ° says Dr. Sigman.
“At the vulnerable age at which children begin to see how life spontaneously, increasing the amount of time spent viewing each day, the number of screens in the bedrooms of children and even small tools should make us all stop and reflect, ”he said.
