How to organize your child’s time before the computer.
Prepare computer workplace for your child
First of all, take care of conditions: whether it is comfortable and convenient for your kid to sit at the computer table. The furniture should suit the child’s height; the distance up to the monitor should not be less than 70 sm. Do not put the computer place near the window as the monitor may flash.
Do not save money on a computer
Modern computers are not so dangerous to health, as their predecessors. Special attention should be given to the monitor. The most safe variant is a plasma screen.
Do not put a computer in a nursery
At least until your child will be 8-9 years. To this age you can cultivate healthy attitude to a computer.
Strictly determine time frameworks
For children till 6 years - no more than half an hour, for more grown-up - from one up to one and a half hour with a break for a rest. At the beginning find a new interesting toy to which they can be switched at once after dialogue with a computer. In any case, in the given question your position should be inexorable and firm enough, in fact it will help to protect you and your child from possible problems in the future.
