Cyberchildren
Recently computers have been more likely luxury, but now they are almost “primary necessities”. Soon your kid will struggle for the opportunity to take advantage of this miracle of the technical progress. Whether should you resist to desires of the child? Or let him push yourself around?
It is impossible to pull out the child from that environment in which he was born and will live. And if computers have filled their place in our life it would be better to teach children how to be guided in a cyberspace without harm for the health and with advantage for themselves. Paying to much attention only on the negative sides of the question, you can miss many positive moments in your kid’s dialogue with a computer:
1. It helps to reveal and develop abilities of the child.
2. It is nice way of self-training.
3. Develops independent thinking.
4. Strengthens concentration of attention.
5. It teaches the child to switch quickly from one action to another.
The list can be continued farther, but in a counterbalance it is possible to offer not less impressive list of well-known “horror stories”. But you may avoid them if you manage to find the correct approach to the child and to a computer. In fact their further relations depend on their first meeting.
