Most children very quickly become Telemann. The very first cartoons they are hard to pull from TV screens and computers. Often the TV is so emotionally-charged entertainment that the child refuses to even move and play for extra time for cartoons. Any requests to stop watching cartoons little Telemann's not responding. Outright bans open meets or anger or manipulation. Is there a positive way to limit the time of watching TV?

 




First you need to answer the question: why do you need it? What harmful television is still not fully understood the effect of the flickering image on the human brain. At the same time, there are studies confirming the ability of flickering images can cause convulsions. Television is a strain on your eyesight, which may cause its deterioration. Therefore, children up to 7 years is generally not recommended to watch TV. Watching TV for a long time (not only cartoons, but also advertising, news, etc.), the child receives too much information that overloads his nervous system. Communication with the TV replaces the child's communication with the outside world, influencing the formation of values and worldview.

 




Should not then be surprised when the value of your child suddenly will not look like you would like him to vaccinate. Due to the large amount of visual information the child's right brain is developing intensively left in charge of reading. Therefore, excessive TV viewing, a child will develop dyslexia.

For preschoolers limit TV viewing should be 15-20 minutes a day; make the days without the TV; try to organise a day so that it was full of other rich and interesting classes. If you see that your child is already addicted to television, do not scold him, and forbid and try to be less painful for a child to wean him to watch TV. Start to gradually reduce the viewing time. For a start, just for a few minutes. This time, keep for 1.5-2 weeks. Then reduce for a few minutes.

 




Until then, until you reach 15-20 minutes a day. For greater success you can choose the cartoons in duration. Of course, in the age of information technology to fully protect children from TV and computer would be unreasonable. It is important to observe the balance that the source of the TV and the computer is not turned into an object of dependence.
