Let children indulge in short videos, and parents can relax for a while, but they don't know that children's brain changes are amazing

It is also a season of returning to the cage. When my child recalls the experience of accompanying her during the summer vacation after school starts, what I feel most is that video games and short videos really affect the child's concentration too much.

During the summer vacation, I took my children to relatives' homes for a get-together. In my impression, children around the age of ten should be the most innocent. There must be endless chatting when they get together, and soon they can play together. Unexpectedly, five or six children in a room sit together, each with a mobile phone, and they will become the "quietest children" in the hall.

Several older players have been playing the game. In their words, this is called "Shanghao". Their eyes are fixed on the mobile phone screen, their hands are pressed back and forth, their mouths are always scolding and pinching, and they complain about the lack of strength of their teammates throughout the whole process, which is mixed with a lot of rude words that adults like me are embarrassed to say.

A few of the smaller ones have shortened the video. They also keep their eyes fixed on the screen and laugh constantly.

These children had a mobile phone in their hand, and they were totally lost in the game or short videos. After spending a day at their relatives' home, I observed that they didn't need to pay attention to the things and people around them, nor what happened around them.

My daughter is basically not interested in mobile phones. Without her brother, sister, brother and sister willing to accompany her, she would read some books by herself, or play with birds and mud in the yard, which has become "out of place". Watching my daughter play alone is quite lonely, I want to "wake up" those children who play mobile phones, let them return to reality together, and play the games that children should play. So I bought poker cards and called them to play "make it 24 o'clock" together. Those children who were busy with "getting on the number" refused at all. My call was not even noise to them. They should have turned on the function of "automatically shielding the real world", still staring at the screen with their eyes flashing, and murmuring words.

It was not easy to wait for two people who would like to play with us, but after listening to the rule of "Gather 24 Points" several times in a row, they were still confused. My daughter and I had fun playing, and then explained the algorithm to them. They were expressionless and gave no feedback. A few minutes later, they returned to their seats again, picked up their mobile phones and continued to flash short videos.

When relatives saw this scene, they explained: "Don't worry about them. They do this every day. Once they pick up their mobile phones, they don't eat, drink or sleep. It's also good. I can save trouble, and they don't bother me. One mobile phone can solve the problem of baby management!"

I often see some children playing happily with their mobile phones on weekdays. In fact, I don't really understand what parents think. Let children contact short videos and mobile games so early. You know, this is something adults will also indulge in. How can children have enough self-control not to play or touch?

Parents often complain that their children do not have enough concentration to concentrate on reading, let alone doing homework. Within three minutes, they began to wander. Only when you play video games or watch short videos can you see that they are completely absorbed in them and reach the level of ecstasy.

Why do children nowadays lack concentration? The reason is that the Internet has divided their attention.

First of all, video games allow them to obtain a virtual sense of achievement and pleasure, so they no longer care about everything around them in reality. When you ask him to read and study, his heart is impetuous and restless, always thinking about the game world, how can he focus on learning?

Secondly, mobile phones enable them to quickly access information from all directions, what are the latest jokes, what are the most explosive news, every minute and every second they are stimulated by new information, and their brain nerves have been in a state of excitement.

Therefore, after putting down the mobile phone, their mental state is empty, and the whole person feels uncomfortable. There is a feeling of being abandoned by the whole world. Only when they pick up the mobile phone again can the psychological comfort be recovered.

As early as 2020, the People's Daily published a group of data on minors' Internet access. In addition to the high Internet access rate of 94.9%, 62.5% of children use the Internet to play games, and 49.3% of children use the Internet to watch short videos. I have to say that this data is really shocking.

Some scientists have found that the brain development of Internet addicted children is different from that of normal children. When children addicted to the Internet are overwhelmed by unrestrained sensory stimulation, the details of brain structure shrink.

I used to watch other people's children playing mobile phones. I also thought that if my child didn't play, she would feel different from other children. I should also moderately let her play games and brush short videos. However, after seeing these children so obsessed in the summer, I told myself that I must not open this "Pandora's Box", and the children's world should have the happiness of children.

Especially for students, we have always emphasized attention. If you want children to focus on learning and real life feelings, let them stay away from mobile phones and use books, sports, camping, story telling, chasing and fighting on holiday days There are many other ways to replace the temporary happiness. Only in this way can children really feel happiness in reality and not indulge in the "garbage" happiness.
