I was very happy to meet the mother of a two-and-a-half-year-old baby.
I think our current experiences will be very similar, so let me share a few stories about my baby and me.
1. One day when I was about to feed the baby, she suddenly said to me, Mom, I have grown up and I don’t need to be fed by my mother anymore.
Then he began to eat with a spoon in a decent manner. Although it was a little spilled, it can be felt that the child has become aware of his self-care ability.
The old mother suddenly felt that her child was so sensible all of a sudden. Then she thought, where did she learn it?
It turns out I learned it from cartoons.
2. Sometimes I am having fun with my children, but suddenly I have something to deal with and I can’t get away. I will say: Mom, can I show you Peppa Pig?
Often at this time, she takes the initiative to refuse. I don’t want to watch, I still want to play with my mother.
3. "Mom, can I see my brother George?" I usually agree to the child, but the premise is that I agree with her on the quantity.
So, every time an episode ends, she will tentatively ask me, Mom, can I watch another one?
If you get a positive answer, the child's face will instantly overflow with joy.
If the answer is no, in most cases, even if you don’t want to, you will say, Mom, I’ll give you the phone.
In fact, the issue of watching cartoons has troubled me for a long time. Later, I figured out some truths during my exploration: 1. Watching cartoons appropriately for children can help them learn knowledge.
They will unconsciously imitate the content while watching.
For parents, what they have to do is to choose quality and educational cartoons for their children to watch.
2. Parents’ companionship will make children’s lives more interesting.
A baby's life is very simple, eating, drinking and playing.
Without anyone to play with, they can only seek other sustenance. At this time, cartoons are the best choice for their cognitive scope.
Parents should choose a variety of games, toys, etc. to help their children develop a wide range of interests and cannot just rely on cartoons.
Of course, you must also lead by example and set an example for your children. You cannot play with your mobile phone or watch TV all day long.
3. Establish a sense of rules in children from an early age and continuously strengthen and consolidate them.
Children can be molded, and they are allowed to watch cartoons if they want, but they must not follow their temper.
By limiting the number and time of the agreement, children can be taught to keep their promises and to do things within the rules. At the same time, it can also cultivate children's better character.
Therefore, cartoons can be watched, but they can only be used as part of children’s entertainment, and parents need to guide and give full play to the educational role of cartoons.
4. I think the key point is the company of parents. What else can attract children besides watching cartoons?
Can you play games? We didn’t watch TV or mobile phone before we were two years old. Now, when we are three years old, we watch cartoons for half an hour every day and then turn them off by ourselves. I will hug her and clearly tell her that turning off the TV by herself is a great thing.
Things show that we can control our own desires.
Of course, I will occasionally ask to watch it for a while. I will make arrangements based on the situation of the previous few days. If she turns it off every time she watches it, she will be allowed. If there is any case of turning it off, I will ask her whether she turned it off last time or this time.
Don't want to turn it off either?
I would accompany her to read picture books and play games, or go digging in the soil. In short, if there are no cartoons, parents will have better alternatives.
Hello, I am a high school teacher and a mother of two babies. I am happy to share my views and practices!
My eldest son is 6 and a half years old this year. He watched TV for the first time in kindergarten after entering kindergarten!
Not to mention the traditional saying that watching TV will damage children's vision, more importantly, exposure to TV from a young age will have a great impact on their future learning. If they are used to watching TV with colors and pictures, it will affect their later learning.
Ability, they will find the relatively monotonous classroom boring, and it will limit their thinking ability, leaving little space for children's imagination, which is not conducive to the development of imagination.
It will also affect the development of language ability. Research shows that infants and young children learn language mainly through interactions and situations with adults.
If babies in the language learning period watch too much TV, it will affect their language development ability and even their brain development.
