We are now in a surprising situation.
People who grew up without computers/mobile or with minimal presence of computers/mobile do not know whether to allow their children computers/mobile.
And people who from childhood played and got into iPhones, have not yet grown up to their children. So we do not know how they relate to this.
So I’m on human rights, who have been using a computer since 1988 and a mobile phone since 1996.
Children need to have full access to all technologies. Give them smartphones, tablets, computers, notebooks, smartwatches, gadgets, virtual reality helmets – until they break. Let them take what they can. There are no harmful technologies, there are overdoses and no restrictions.
The most important thing about children’s education is schedule.
If you go to sleep at 9 o’clock, go to sleep at 9. And before that you can build a house with a bunker in Minecraft, why not? If the internet is limited to two hours a day, it is limited to two hours a day. And at these two hours you can watch YouTube videos about dinosaurs, why not?
It is necessary to set limits on time, content, expenses, set parental controls, etc. All the rest, let them explore and learn.
Nevertheless, children in the first grade will already see all possible porn sites and learn all the native words, but at least they should know that parents have taken care that this is not part of an accessible norm. This is the basis of healthy education.
Gadgets do not make children worse. Parents who prohibit gadgets do.
