Why do kids prefer the Internet and digital technologies? How to persuade them to leave the tech world and go back to the world of books? Tips for moms.

A telephone or a book? How to spend your free time? People of all ages face this question. But if it is easier for adults to make choices, little ones are often being absorbed with a variety of games, movies, and cartoons, and completely forget about books. Parents' complaints and dissatisfaction begin from here that their child is not a book-lover and spent all day only with a computer or phone. WHY Why do babies prefer the Internet, telephone and digital technologies? It turns out that this is mainly due to their self-affirmation drive. The point is that the child has more freedom and control over the situation in front of the computer (for example, when the child decides his next action during a computer game and performs it himself). In contrast, reading a book is more passive act. The child only perceives the material in front of him, but has no influence on the course of events. This advantage of Internet is becoming a great attraction for children. HOW How to persuade children to break away from the tech world and return to the wonderful world of their books? Here are some tips for parents to solve this difficult problem: - You do not have to wait until your child reaches the age when he/she decides to read on their own. Since childhood, children need to get to know and relate to books. Books for young children should be very attractive and fascinating, with absorbing design, bright colors, fun games. It is preferable to place these books in different accessible corners of the house so that the child can meet them everywhere and become interested in them. - It is important to limit your child's time spent online or on the TV screen. This should be done at an earlier age, as children gradually become more independent and difficult to control. - Exemplify for your children. It is no news that children very often imitate their parents. So the best way to instill a love for reading in your toddler is to do the reading yourself. That way, they will understand that it is a good and useful occupation. - It sounds simple, but you should not forget to praise your child for reading a book. Of course, encouragement should sound as natural as possible. The most important thing is all this should be very natural. Teach, exemplify, explain, but never force a child to read without his or her own will. Forcing a child to sit in front of a book can put him under psychological pressure and trauma, which will later have the opposite effect. Help Your Kids LOVE BOOKS ․․
