Hello everyone! Recently, many of you might be concerned about your children's use of tablets. Indeed, studies have shown that excessive tablet use can affect children's emotional regulation, which can be quite alarming. However, worrying alone won't solve the problem. Today, let's talk about how to use tablets wisely and even positively!
First, let's review some recent findings. Research indicates that if a 3.5-year-old child uses a tablet for about an hour more each day, their anger and frustration levels could increase by 22% a year later. Shocking, right? But hold on! This doesn't mean tablets are entirely bad.
In fact, if used correctly, tablets can help children manage their emotions. How, you ask? There are many wonderful apps designed to teach children about emotions.
Imagine an app where cute characters help children explore various emotions. What should they do when they're angry? How should they handle sadness? These apps make learning about emotions fun and engaging. Isn't that amazing?
Additionally, using tablets together with your child can be a great idea. For instance, you could use an app that tracks daily emotions, like "How are you feeling today?" This can spark conversations about feelings and help you understand your child's emotions better.
However, the key here is "balance." It's important not to rely solely on tablets. Combining real-life experiences with tablet learning is crucial. Playing in the park, interacting with friends, and enjoying family conversations are all essential. Mixing these experiences with tablet learning can be much more effective.
Lastly, let's talk a bit about the future. Technologies like AI, VR, and AR are evolving rapidly. In the near future, children might use VR goggles to experience various emotions as if they were really there. Scary moments, happy moments, sad moments... Through these experiences, they might gain a deeper understanding of emotions and learn to control them better.
Isn't that exciting? Technology is advancing every day, offering possibilities we can't even imagine yet.
The important thing is not to be overwhelmed by new technologies but to always consider what's best for your child's growth. And to learn together while having fun. This way, a wonderful future awaits.
So, let's make the most of tablets and help our children develop their emotional regulation skills! Let's embark on this exciting parenting adventure together!
