Cyberchildren: how to avoid problems
Set a good example to a child how to use computer
If the daddy spends whole days before computer, and mum periodically vanishes in a cyberspace for some hours a day, it is rather difficult to expect from the child reasonable attitude towards computer. You can long and persistently explain that you are already adult and you can afford it. Your offspring will grow up, and already in 8-9 years will feel «quite adult» so it will be possible for him. So, even if it is too hard for you, you should limit computer time within the day. Exception is made by the cases when you work at home, but this situation easily can understand even three-year tiny tot.
Learn the child to relax
Any time spent before computer is connected with the certain strain. Eyes suffer above all. Teach the child several simple exercises for eyes. The most simple - to look into the distance for 2-3 minutes, it will be enough for eye muscles to relax.
Insure yourself from computer dependence
To make forecasts is very always difficult. But if the computer will be only a part of an everyday life of your child – it is nothing to worry about. If he goes in for sports, communicates with friends, spends a lot of time with parents, he won’t have neither interest, nor time to spend whole days sitting at home before computer.
