How to wean the child from the computer

Distracting a child up to 8–10 years from a monitor is easierall you need to do is switch his attention to other, equally interesting things. At an early age, children are more inclined to communicate with their parents, talk about their thoughts and deeds, so they are more willing to respond to an invitation to spend time together. Show your baby that the real world is more interesting. Go for a walk together, pick up puzzles, draw and just play. Even if you have little time, find a couple of hours for the child. Either add him to your classes, let him help set the table, give him a piece of dough when you cook, talk to him, sing while you do household chores. Get rid of the bad habit of a teenager more difficult. To distract him for joint pastime is not always obtained. A number of activities will be required:

• limit the time for playing games on the computer;
• come up with a punishment for violating this clause;
• Encourage meeting with friends, allow them to visit;
• Praise for achievements in the real world;
• do not spend your free time at the monitor with the child;
• send a teenager to a creative circle or sports section.

But do not ban the computer at all, such measureswill lead to the opposite effect. Computer is not an absolute evil. With proper, metered use, it has a positive effect on the development of the child. Just control which games he plays, which sites he visits, how much time he spends at the monitor, and the addiction will not even appear.
