Your child's request for a television in his room may be seen as a normal request by some parents. However, the side effects of this may be more than you think.
Scientific studies on this subject show that the main harms of children in the developmental age are having a television in their room and watching it frequently, as weight gain.
Unfortunately, many technological devices, especially television, harm our children in many ways, in terms of attracting children, who should be physically in the most active period of their lives, to a stagnant life.
Experts investigating this issue concluded that children with a television in their room sleep less and are at risk of obesity by constantly eating snacks while inactive in front of the screen. The change in the values of the body mass index at the age of 12 of a child who has a television in his room at the age of seven has shown how serious this issue is.
Of course, there are not only physical side effects, but also problems in their emotional development. As soon as he gets home from school and starts living virtual, the child can be in the same home but away from his family, in a lonely and withdrawn mood, prefers to spend time alone with these technological products instead of spending time outside.
In the nursery, he can watch programs that are not suitable for his age, movies with violent content and news. In this case, the psychology of the child is negatively affected.
Communication between parents and children who watch TV in separate rooms deteriorates. When parents come to work from home, they spend the time they would spend together separately and become estranged from each other, causing the communication between them to be broken. They can become unable to chat together and cause loss of family sharing.
Parents have a great responsibility for the correct use of technology by children. It is necessary to save children from the influence of devices such as televisions, computers, smart phones, and to allow them to spend time in the outdoor environment where they need to live. Today, the problems of technology addicts have become so disturbing that centers for the treatment of these addicts have begun to be opened.
It is necessary to prepare environments where they can socialize and play the physical games they need to play outside with their peers.
In this regard, it is necessary to know that it is not healthy to consciously give unlimited freedom to our children.
