Child psychologists say that the later, the better.
There are several serious disadvantages to early accustomment to computer games.
The computer can interfere with personal development. At preschool age computer games should be replaced by didactic ones. Playing didactic games, children learn about the world, develop, learn to communicate.
Computer can not be a substitute for friends. Good, if the child already has friends and communicating with them gives him pleasure – then you can allow and computer.
- When giving the child access to the computer, consider not only the age of the child. The peculiarities of his psyche are also important. If the kid is excitable, computer games, even educational, will exhaust his psyche and cause overexcitement. Sitting at the monitor for hours, the child loses his appetite and does not sleep well.
- Another danger – the emergence of negative character traits. All day playing “roving” and “shoot”, the child becomes withdrawn, unsociable, does not want to go out, constantly fighting with his brothers and sisters for the right to play.
- Serious strain on eyesight. Prolonged strain of the eye muscles while sitting at the monitor can lead to significant visual impairment.
- Weak finger motor skills will lead to writing problems in school.
- There is another serious danger in early inoculation to computer games. Many mothers complain to the child psychologist that the child refuses to read books.
Yes, he has learned to put letters into words with the help of educational computer games. But reading even small texts in a book does not attract him, he is only used to bright pictures and rapidly changing video games.
Obviously, it is necessary to be careful with the computer, so that the baby does not fall into computer addiction.
