Studies have made the news on television and again our children. What do they say? too much television is not good for our children. The mere presence of a television in the nursery can be a deciding factor in how well your children do to be academic. Children today are being "connected"
What is the solution? Limit TV. Move the TV on you kids 'rooms'. Participation is what they see.
Okay. We are moving into television in a commongive our kids time limits. So now what? One comment I hear often when people ask me about the token for the TV program that is now that my children? Our children are so used that is not connected to know what to do. You are bored.
No matter if your children are 6 or 16, the answer is the same. It 's time to teach our children how to play again. After a period of rest and play are important life skills. How else their imaginations begin to work alone is back?
Start with theto help play the following ideas for your kids in their unplugged:
Or a game. Dig Out Your games. Checkers, chess, Monopoly and Sorry! These are all great games.
Dig or playing cards. Go Fish, Old Virgin, War ... There are other card games as a specific one out there. You can also teach your children how to play Solitaire.
or is a bookworm. Go to the library in your home or your community. Scour the thrift shops and flea markets. Beshare a portion of a book. There are also some great audio books in the library. You can also audio books at second-hand shops, department stores and online.
Hands-on or fun. Pull out the clay or play dough. Your guy may roll his eyes at this, but you would be surprised how you sit down to think and speak with it. (And you do not go and buy pasta - that will help a lot. A recipe is includedbelow.)
Build Or something. LEGO, Lincoln Logs and K'nex. How many of our children still have these in the back of their room? Not for this designer pieces? Try creating structures using toothpicks and connecting them with peas. Sounds strange, but it works! As the structures dry they become more stable and can keep for a while '.
or go outside. Outdoor games like marbles, jacks, and hell, heaven not only occupy your kids, it also strengthens coordination skills. Too hot or too cold? The garage, basement and / or kitchen floors will work fine.
Or become an artist outside. Buy a tub of colored chalk from the local discount store and give your children a theme to create their own masterpieces on the sidewalk in front or behind. Take pictures of them for your family album.
These are the ideas? Of course not. But if our children to choose one of these "offline" activities or the ability to connect your TV or data> Games and select what you are going? If you disconnect your children, they will learn to play again, simply because they have nothing else to do. You can find more activities to entertain around.
Be a lament for a little frustration or prepare "the children. It is normal. There is so much easier to sit in front of a screen with mindless entertainment. It will not take long and your children will be able to other things that do, instead of connecting and tuning areWorld.
