Mobile phones have long been integrated into the daily life of every family, and now basically everyone has a mobile phone. Leisure activities have also been replaced by mobile phones, which has led many children to become addicted to mobile phones, and some children even play mobile phones without sleeping at night.

1. Let children understand the dangers of playing mobile phones at night
Children do not sleep all night and play with mobile phones. Students are under great pressure every day. If they choose to play with mobile phones secretly at night, they will have to wait until very late to go to bed, which will greatly affect their learning and mental state the next day. Therefore, parents should try to persuade their children to focus on learning. Playing mobile phones at night will do great harm to their eyes, which will greatly affect their ability to attend classes.
2. Specify the time to play mobile phones
The more children are not allowed to play with mobile phones, the more interested they will be in mobile phones, so parents can allow children to play with mobile phones, but they need to specify the time for playing with mobile phones every day. Parents can extend or shorten the time according to their children's performance, for example, they can watch mobile phones for half an hour after school, and they can arrange time in the morning and afternoon for the rest on Saturday.
3. Divert the child's attention
Many times, children play with mobile phones because there is no better way to relax. Parents can help children develop hobbies, such as painting, reading, basketball, musical instruments, dancing, etc. Once a child has a hobby, he or she will do something interesting in his or her spare time. He or she will gradually shift his or her attention to hobbies in the game, and will naturally not indulge in mobile phones.
4. Take more children out to play
Did you find that children stay up all night playing with mobile phones basically because they stay at home every day and have no space for activities. Therefore, parents should take children out to play instead of playing with mobile phones, so that children have no time to play with mobile phones and divert their attention from playing with mobile phones. If you can't go out and play, you should stay at home. Parents can also chat with their children more. On the one hand, it can improve the parent-child relationship, and on the other hand, it can release the children's boredom of playing with mobile phones.
What's the reason why children don't sleep at night and play with mobile phones
1. Parental influence

It is almost impossible and not completely correct to let children completely isolate mobile phones. Since it is a part of life, it has a reasonable value of existence. The more positive parents' attitude towards mobile phones, the more correct children's attitude towards mobile phones can be.
2. Children lack companionship
Without the company of parents, children feel lonely and have no place to appeal. The rich and colorful content information in mobile phones impacts children's vision and brain, and children are more likely to be interested in it, immersed in it and forget about loneliness, boredom and boredom. Mobile phones have become another entertainment partner to accompany children instead of parents.
3. Limited entertainment
Because parents are busy with their work or lack of awareness of family education, they do not give useful guidance to children after they finish their homework, and children cannot find other better things to replace mobile phones, so mobile phones have become the most convenient choice. From this aspect, it can also be said that children's extracurricular life is scarce. It can also be said that parents have not done a good job in guiding in this regard.
4. Interpersonal needs
Children at school age are in the development period of communication with their peers. They are happy to be with their peers and find a sense of existence in the peer group. They contact, share and have an inner dialogue with their classmates through the network, which is the demand and form of their communication.
How to guide parents when children do not sleep at night and play with mobile phones
1. Parents as good role models
Parents' words and deeds affect their children all the time. Before criticizing and accusing children of indulging in mobile phones, parents should reflect on whether they often act as "bow heads" in front of children? Parents should set an example and play a good role in setting a good example with their positive and practical actions
2. Agree mobile phone usage rules
Adults are lack of consciousness to put down mobile phones at any time. Parents should not overestimate their children's self-control. Scientific and effective external control is essential. Install management software on the mobile phone, and parents can control it remotely, reasonably and effectively control the time of children's playing mobile phones, and make a reward and punishment agreement.
3. Strengthen parent-child interaction
Sometimes, when parents are busy with work, they will have no time to take care of their children. Children want to have parent-child interaction with parents, but they are also rejected by parents for being busy with work. Children who have not received emotional feedback from their parents for a long time are prone to emotional loss on the way of growth. Their ability to distinguish right from wrong has not been fully established. Without knowing the harm of mobile phones, they are easy to find emotional loss from mobile phones, and gradually become addicted. Only by strengthening interaction with children can children consciously reduce the time spent playing mobile phones.
4. Good communication
Keep children away from mobile phones, and good communication with children is the key. Parents should not see their children playing with their mobile phones and become furious and scold their children. This will only make things worse. Instead, they should patiently persuade and guide their children step by step.
5. Cultivate children's self-control
In fact, many young students like to indulge in playing mobile phones, mostly because their psychological needs cannot be met in the real world. Too many parents or teachers deny and scold them, which makes it difficult to gain a sense of achievement and value in real life and study. In addition, young students have insufficient self-control, so they are easy to indulge in them.
Therefore, parents need to help their children develop their self-control and give them a sense of time when to learn and when to play games.
