Gadgets have long been a part of children's lives, and it is impossible to completely exclude them — and it is not necessary. It is important to build competent rules that will help a child use technology safely and without harm to the psyche.
1. Clear time frames
Psychologists recommend limiting screen time depending on age: younger students — no more than 1-1.5 hours a day, teenagers — up to 2 hours outside of school. The main thing is to follow the daily regime.
2. Content under control
Allow only those apps and videos that match the child's age. It is advisable to watch new content together in order to understand what affects the child.
3. Personal boundaries and security
Teach your child not to share personal information, not to correspond with strangers, and always tell adults about suspicious situations.
4. A healthy alternative
Gadgets are not the enemy, but a child must have activities outside the screen: sports, walking, creativity, communication.
At the Novaya Istra resort, much attention is paid to active leisure activities for children — this helps to balance the digital environment and live communication.
