How long is it good for children to see the entertainment device screen?

So far, the question " should only allow young children to touch the screen of entertainment facilities for a day?" always a permanent problem in every parent's mind. With the recent research results of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the above question has partly been answered.

>>>Children watch TV for more than 2 hours every day or sick

From the results of their scientific research, the American Children's Science Institute believes that children should only spend an average of a maximum of 2 hours a day on the use of entertainment devices such as TVs, tablets, electricity. voice, game console, etc. for children between 3-12 years old, and children 2 years and younger should not be exposed. If this time is exceeded, young children will increase their risk of illnesses such as eating and sleeping disorders, problems with concentration and studying at school or even leading to illness. obese, lazy to exercise.

From the results of the American Children's Science Institute, ConsumerReports has launched an investigation to get parents' comments on whether to limit exposure to entertainment devices. The answers received from most parents are: "Yes, the family should limit the amount of time it takes to touch screen entertainment for children 12 and under".

A parent named Karen Pisciotta said: "Although tablets, phones . can help children quickly learn almost all the accumulated knowledge in the world in just a few touches. or click, but they still need to learn how to listen attentively, talk in real life, confidently argue, observe carefully and have the ability to control themselves. pictures can never teach them ".

Another parent, Karla Oquenda, said that "Spending too much time with electronic devices makes children become" lifeless "and" stagnant "in communication activities. I only allow my son to use the tablet 3 times a week and only use it for 1 hour at a time, in addition, we agree on keeping our phones out of reach Child's hand when going home ".

Besides, many parents also expressed concern that children today are spending less and less time on outdoor activities, but instead prefer to sit next to more entertaining devices. It is also one of the main causes of the prevalence of obese children in the world today, causing many families to worry.

Some other parents even have a somewhat "negative" method to limit their children to the screen of electronic devices. As Kristen Coberly Warren said, "My family's goal is not to let children touch entertainment devices. We never turn on the TV when there are kids. Don't buy game consoles, . Thanks to that, 3 kids My children are not perfect, but they form their own personalities, possess social skills and do not encounter problems in school, especially they have the ability to read books instead of sitting. hours by computer ".

In general, the rapid development of technology is pushing our civilization day by day. But, the pros appear always have the harmful side. Electronic devices help children acquire knowledge quickly but if used too much, they also lack the knowledge of life, society, ability to work outdoors and many risks of obesity, poor learning middle Therefore, the concern and guidance of parents is very essential and necessary.
