More and more parents realize that excessive use of electronic products can easily bring many harm to children. However, with the growth of children's age and the gradual development of technology, mobile phones and other electronic products have become part of our lives , and it is not realistic to completely eliminate children's use. So, at what age can a child use a cell phone? How should children use mobile phones in a healthy way? Let's take a look at it next.

Mr. Li is a post-95 baby dad. He chose to enter the marriage hall with his girlfriend when he just graduated, and the two soon gave birth to a lovely baby. As a young father, Mr. Li's thinking is extremely advanced, and he is willing to accept avant-garde educational concepts. Although elders believe that mobile phones are harmful to children, they should not use them too much .

But Mr. Li felt that everyone in modern society uses mobile phones, and children are no exception, and he also believes that using mobile phones too early can promote children's brain development and make them smarter. Therefore, not only does not prevent children from using electronic products, but whenever the baby is disobedient and crying, Mr. Li will take out the tablet and play cartoons to send the child away, in exchange for a moment of silence.

There is no doubt that Mr. Li's behavior is extremely inappropriate and will certainly cause serious harm to the child. Although mobile phones have become a part of our lives, there are still many negative effects on children. If children are allowed to use mobile phones without planning and restrictions, they are undoubtedly harming children.

What are the effects of unplanned and unrestricted use of mobile phones on children?

1. Affect vision

The screen of the mobile phone is small and the colors are too bright, which can easily attract the attention of children. And whether it is playing cartoons or conducting online education, children need to constantly stare at the small screen. If parents cannot make reasonable planning and restrictions, long-term use will cause children's vision problems and premature myopia.

2. Destroy concentration

Many children are obsessed with mobile phones because of cartoons and games. The reasons for these elements to attract children are similar. They are all through intense musical stimulation and colorful animations to create sensory attraction for children. As a result, the child is highly focused when watching the mobile phone, and the parents do not respond to any shouting beside them. In fact, this method greatly destroys the child's concentration. When the child is used to this high-frequency attraction, in the future study and life, he will think that the teacher's lecture is too boring, and it is difficult to concentrate on the classroom. .

3. Delay brain development

Many children react very quickly when using mobile phones and can quickly learn many new functions. Some parents feel that their children have become smarter by using mobile phones. In fact, excessive use of mobile phones will not only make children smarter, but will delay their brain development and affect their IQ. Because the child is passively receiving the information transmitted by the mobile phone in the process of using the mobile phone. Without the conversion of thinking logic, the brain does not get the corresponding operation, and it will become dull after a long time.

Therefore, parents should strictly control the time that children use mobile phones, and let children use mobile phones to a limited extent at suitable times. At the same time, we must respect the age and growth laws of children, and must not allow children to act arbitrarily.

What is the right age for children to use mobile phones?

1. Starting from 18 months, you can watch online courses appropriately

From 18 months of age, parents can choose some interactive online classes for infants and young children to watch with their children. It can cultivate the child's limb strength and reaction degree, and can also satisfy the child's curiosity. However, parents need to pay attention that the distance between the mobile phone and the child should not be too close, and the use time should not be too long, 10 to 15 minutes each time.

2, 2-4 years old, accumulating no more than one hour per day

When children reach 2 to 4 years old, with the continuous development of early childhood education, the need for children to use mobile phones also increases. At this time, parents need to help their children adjust the content of the mobile phone to avoid excessive violence or content that is not suitable for children to watch on the mobile phone. And the cumulative time per day should not exceed one hour, otherwise it will bring great damage to the child's physical and mental health.

3. Video calls can be used earlier

Some parents are busy with work and cannot be with their children for a long time. Faced with this situation, parents can make video calls with their children. Video calling has relatively few harmful effects on children, so it can be used earlier. Moreover, the parent-child relationship can be enhanced in the interaction of video calls, which helps to cultivate parent-child relationship, and also allows children to feel the care of their parents.

What problems should parents pay attention to when children use mobile phones?

1. Planned and moderate use

When children use mobile phones, parents need to pay attention to making plans in advance, and clearly inform children of the content of the plan, and determine the rules for children to use mobile phones. Do not exceed 20 minutes at a time, increasing the cumulative time per day as you age. However, according to the recommendations of the relevant departments, the cumulative time per day cannot exceed two hours before the child is 6 years old.

2. Don't use your phone before bed

One hour before the child goes to bed, parents need to be careful not to let the child use the mobile phone. Because when the child is using the mobile phone, the spirit will be in a state of high excitement and concentration, and this emotion cannot be relieved for a long time. Therefore, if parents let their children play with mobile phones before going to bed, it will cause the children to be unable to sleep, affecting their daily routines and their growth.

3. Strengthen the arrangement of outdoor activities

If you want children to reduce their dependence on mobile phones, then parents can appropriately strengthen the arrangement of some outdoor activities and bring their children to play together. Playing together between parents and children is far more attractive to children than mobile phones. Parents can take their children out to visit the Science and Technology Museum, or they can go shopping or take a walk in the community. The company of parents will make play more meaningful, and it will also reduce children's dependence on mobile phones.

During the use of electronic products, electromagnetic fields interfere with the central nervous system of the human body. The central nervous system of young children is in the developmental stage, and the World Health Organization has issued an official announcement: Electromagnetic fields are harmful to children's health.

With the development of technology, mobile phones affect every aspect of our lives. And the growth of children is completely inseparable from mobile phones. Whether it is online class teaching or homework punching, children need to complete it through mobile phones. Therefore, parents need to look at the problem of mobile phones rationally, help children make reasonable plans, and let children use mobile phones healthily on the premise of respecting the law of children's growth.
