<p>The modern generation of children is growing in the world of technological progress triumph, and few of them will surprise with a laptop or tablet. And this is not surprising, because they begin to use them practically from the "diaper". Therefore, it is quite natural that over time, concerned parents begin to notice that their children spend more and more time near the gadget, and against this background, dramatic conflicts and psychological problems arise.</p>

<p>But everything begins quite innocently. Mom and Dad, using the achievements of civilization, simply take their child on a toy or a cartoon included on the tablet, and for them it is quite convenient: the son or daughter does not indulge, do not run along the minibus, the houses behave calmly, do not interfere again, capricious - some positive aspects, which do not look. Psychologists note that mothers at an early stage are even proud of such "achievements", showing off to friends and acquaintances that: "Sashenka already understood how to call grandmother on Skype!" Or "My own cartoon includes". However, with the advent of the time when it's time to go to school or a preparatory group, mom and dad begin to notice that the son is quite difficult to distract from the cherished gadget and focus on other activities. In this regard, between children and parents there are scandals and quarrels that cause stress in the baby, and he neutralizes them with the help of the same tablet - that's the vicious circle for you.</p>
<p>Parental care operates according to the principle that if something is harmful to the child, every dad and mother will do their best to prevent their child from doing so. For example, in every family they know that dessert is only after the main dish is eaten, so dad and mother are ready to go to all sorts of tricks and apply various tactics so that the kid ate a hot soup first, and only then sweets. The same applies to the desire of a child to drink cold water in the heat or with an unwillingness to warmly dress in the damp October day - adults carefully struggle with these manifestations of children's whims, because they know that it's worth ignoring this, and the beloved little daughter or daughter will get a bad habit that will later be more difficult to correct.</p>
<p>In this case, there is a natural question - why with all these tablets and smartphones there is such a number of problems? Why do they begin to influence the child's psyche? Psychologists distinguish several aspects in this problem:</p>
<p>• new technology attracts children's attention with their bright pictures and rhythmic music in applications, there is an activity that is qualitatively different from that that the child observes in reality, it is not surprising that a child accustomed from an early age to a smartphone will give him a greater preference;</p>
<p>• Do not deny that for parents it is simply convenient. When the carapace is busy with another toy in the tablet - mom and dad well, you can safely clean up in the apartment, cook in the kitchen or chat with a friend;</p>
<p>• most moms and dads generally do not present themselves until they encounter this firsthand that the computer can do some harm to their offspring;</p>
<p>It is because of the last item of the previous list and this article is written. It is intended for those who believe that games and applications do not harm their offspring in any way, and cartoons are a great way to distract from crying and pampering. The next 10 points will concern the consequences that uncontrolled viewing of animated series and "hanging up" in computer games in children cause:</p>
<p>1. A huge influx of information on the brain causes the inevitable overload of the psyche. Concentration on the storyline of the main characters of the cartoon, a constant change of pictures, a musical theme in the background - this dispels attention and then it is difficult to dramatically move from the virtual world to reality. Do not forget that in the knowledge of the world with the help of the tablet screen, movements of the limbs and trunk are not involved at all, that is, the muscles of the body do not participate in the transfer of information to the brain, which is fraught with all sorts of delays in development.</p>
<p>2. For the child, the state of stupor, absent-mindedness and "falling out" from the present time becomes common. It becomes difficult for him to part with the tablet or laptop for a long time.</p>
<p>3. It is possible that a phobia may develop or nightmares may begin to occur. This is due to the fact that in most of the plots of modern games are put all kinds of monsters: vampires, revived dead, werewolves. It is not surprising that all these horror stories are transferred to reality. This is the most common reason why parents turn to a psychologist for advice.</p>
<p>4. Do not forget about such "software" in terms of static pastime things like a corrupted posture, a constant look at the monitor - "sits" the vision, enthusiasm for what is happening on the computer screen, spoils the appetite and knocks down the regime of the day.</p>
<p>5. Insidiousness of tablets and smartphones is that they deprive those familiar things that used to bring joy. The fairy tale told by the grandmother - does not carry away, launching of boats after a rain - it is boring, it would be desirable one - to kill more monsters and to look new series of the cartoon. Even communication with peers becomes only a distraction, which distracts from the usual pastime.</p>
<p>6. New-fashioned technology teaches the child that everything can be returned, if the character is dead, then it can be resurrected, if something went wrong, you can always load the saved game. This confidence gradually flows into life, sometimes leading to nightmarish consequences. If the kid is accustomed to the computer screen, then it is already difficult to accustom to work and responsibility, because everything is done with the mouse, click or key, fast and fun, but in life you need to apply strength and a lot more time.</p>
<p>7. Psychologists say with confidence that the "lion's" share of modern quarrels in the family occur around the laptop or tablet, as before - around the TV. Dad and mother, trying to influence or fence the baby from their influence, do the very simple thing - forbid. But it's not so easy to forbid anything to a child who has already got used to that favorite game is always at hand. Cries, tears and threats begin. The child sharply experiences the prohibition of the cherished thing and begins to hate his parents quietly.</p>
<p>8. The characters of the animated series and films that children around the world watch, greatly affect their identity, goals and beliefs. The boy begins to want to resemble the Spider-Man or Batman, the girl - to the Princess or Queen, while ignoring the development of her own "I". A similar effect is played by role-playing games, in psychological practice cases are known where the child has become so accustomed to the character of the game that he began to speak with his cues and behave accordingly.</p>
<p>9. "Shooters", "shooters", "rpg" - the majority of modern game genres are based on murders, shooting, chases and other manifestations of deviant behavior. In a child who is carried away by such games, the lines between caress and violence are gradually erasing, and the level of humanity and empathy is sharply reduced.</p>
<p>10. Having once slipped a laptop to your child in the hope that it will distract him from pampering and crying, you risk in time that you stop understanding your son or daughter who will not have a special desire to talk to you or ask your advice - because everything it can answer the computer.</p>
<p>Finally I want to add that adults should be as long as possible to delay the acquaintance of the youngster with fashionable technology and virtual reality, educating him in a classical way - reading stories at night, drawing with him, walking, talking. Do not tear the baby away from the real world, because he can give him much more than a virtual one. Learning to use a laptop is a matter of three days, so do not sacrifice all of your childhood for this.</p>
