Modern children have many more opportunities than their parents. At the same time, parents by default consider smartphones to be the cause of all troubles.
Allegedly, gadgets affect children’s studies, behavior, and even their attitude toward their parents and vice versa.
Swiss scientists thought about the question of the relationship between parents and children and conducted an interesting experiment.
It turned out that parents lose the trust of their children, and children do not want to communicate with their parents because they devote little time and attention to them.
Research details
The researchers formed three groups of parents.
The first were instructed to play with the children for 10 minutes.
The second ones also had to play with the children, but after 5 minutes they were distracted by some important paperwork.
The third, like the second, also had to be distracted during the game, but this time to work with the tablet.
At the same time, parents of the second and third groups had to continue to play with their children even while working.
Conclusion
Of course, the children demonstrated the lowest levels of positive emotions in groups No. 2 and No. 3, and there was no particular difference between whether adults worked with papers or an electronic device.
Scientists have come to the conclusion that children do not care about their parents' occupation. The main thing for them is the attention they receive.
Previously, we talked about why it is important for parents to learn how to cope with stress .
