Psychologists do not advise violating children's personal space by demanding passwords for smartphones and social networks.
However, it is necessary to control the time children spend on smartphones.
Why it is necessary to limit the time children spend on smartphones and how to do it correctly, child psychologist Daria Dugentsova told OSN .
Cause
The problem deserves attention because uncontrolled use of gadgets causes addiction.
It develops in adults and children.
It is necessary to limit it, because otherwise people, both adults and children, go into dreams, into digitalization, and addiction really is born, says Dugentsova.
At the same time, a child psychologist calls addiction to gadgets a disease.
How to fight
Currently, narcologists, psychiatrists, child psychologists and just psychologists are working on the problem.
In the meantime, adults are advised to teach children by personal example.
And there is no better option than to ask yourself, “Why am I sitting there? Why do I really need this?”
It has been noted that most often people spend time on smartphones out of boredom or to suppress some emotions.
But if we are talking about repressing emotions, then the expert referred this question to therapy.
Here you need to find out the reason for the action, what the person wants to get rid of and what he wants to see in the present.
