Speaking of cartoons, parents really love and hate them.
When Xiong Wa is noisy, annoying and disobedient, as soon as the cartoon is opened, the world will be quiet and peaceful in an instant. It is simply a sharp weapon to coax her.
However, children fall in love with cartoons, and are easily fascinated by watching TV. Their eyesight drops and they lack social intercourse.
In fact, for children, childhood without cartoons is incomplete, but childhood without cartoons is a pity.
Animation has both advantages and disadvantages. If you choose the right resources and guide them well, animation can also combine education with fun.
In the information age, with the explosion of resources, the choice of cartoons has become diversified.
How to choose cartoons for children? How to correctly guide children to watch cartoons?
There are so many cartoons, how to choose for Eva?
1. Bright colors and cheerful rhythm are cartoons suitable for children?
Wrong!
Ophthalmologists stressed that the child is at the peak of visual development, the scene changes too fast, the color impact is too strong, the child seems to concentrate, but it is not conducive to the development of concentration and vision.
Moreover, the rhythm in the animation is too fast, and the child’s brain has no time to think and deal with it, which will also affect the child’s understanding.
Therefore, the first selection standard is to pay attention to the selection of cartoons with soft colors and slow rhythm.
2. You can choose cartoons that are popular on the market and everyone is watching?
Wrong!
Not all children can watch cartoons as long as they are cartoons. The classification of cartoons needs to conform to the children’s age, understanding ability and psychological development. Do not blindly follow the trend.
Foreign movies and TV plays have a classification system, and each cartoon has a clear audience age orientation. There is no clear classification in China, but parents can screen from these points.
1 ~ 2 years old: choose cartoons with short lines, single theme, easy understanding, close to daily life cognition, conducive to habit cultivation and language development.
3 ~ 4 years old: choose cartoons with lovely characters, bright colors, simple and compact plots, stories, more daily lines and educational significance.
5 ~ 6 years old: According to the child’s gender, you can choose cartoons with strong interest and slightly exaggerated movements, which can guide the child’s social development, knowledge and understanding of the world.
3. The programs broadcast on TV can be watched after being screened by the TV station?
Wrong!
The quality of cartoons on TV is uneven, and many sources with improper views are often criticized. Because of the misleading of bad cartoons, cases of children being injured also occur from time to time:
The 10-year-old girl imitated Logger Vick and cut her sister’s face with a chainsaw.
The little boy imitated Grey Wolf to roast mutton and burned two boys in the same village.
The 7-year-old boy imitated Logger Vick to transform the fan and his whole hand was twisted into the high-speed rotating fan blades.
There are many violent scenes and vulgar language in cartoons such as “Bear Haunts” and “Pleasant Goat and Grey Wolf”, which are often broadcast on TV stations, setting a bad example for children.
Although these cartoons are very popular with children, they are crude and vulgar and cannot give children a positive education.
4. Boys like Superman and girls like princesses. Is it no problem to choose the type that children like?
Wrong!
Boys all have heroic dreams, and there is no lack of violence in superhuman cartoons such as < < Altman > > < < Pig Man > >. After watching them, children are easy to attack everywhere with weapons and stage scenes of Superman fighting monsters at any time.
However, the girl’s favorite < < Ba La Xiao Mo Xian > > includes intrigues, vulgar language, violent fights, and occasionally the plot of boys flirting with girls.
Children’s learning ability and desire are very strong, and the characters in cartoons have a subtle influence on children from appearance to language expression, behavior and thinking mode.
Parents need to be good [quality inspectors] and strictly control cartoons [idols].
How can I show Eva the selected cartoon?
Step 1 Limit viewing time
Suggestions from the American Academy of Pediatrics: Children under 18 months of age had better not watch TV; Children aged 18 months to 2 years old should not watch the screen for more than one hour a day, and it is best to stop and rest every 20 minutes.
Use the [20-20-20] rule: For every 20 minutes of viewing the electronic screen, turn your eyes to a place at least 20 feet (about 6 meters) away and look out for at least 20 seconds.
Step 2 Play on TV
When watching, you must keep a distance from the screen and pay attention to your sitting posture.
Mobile phones and tablet computers are easy to cause children to sit awkwardly. It is more recommended to use TV to play, so that children can sit more comfortably and have more spacious activity space.
3. Beware of Bad Advertisements
Even if the quality of cartoons is guaranteed, there is no guarantee that advertisements with adverse effects will easily appear before the cartoons, so try to block advertisements or advertising time to let children rest.
4. Reject TV Nanny
Don’t let cartoons become tools for watching children. Accompany children to watch and discuss together, and carry out education and guidance in time can help children distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and avoid the formation of bad habits.
Animation is not a scourge, nor is it a comforting tool for parents to get away. Excellent animation is a happy memory in children’s childhood.
If parents can watch, laugh and study with their children, then this memory will be warmer and sweeter.
