Many parents have a cognition: online games are really harmful!
Many parents have a trouble: helpless in the face of their children's addiction!
Many parents have a consensus: learning three tricks solves the urgent need!
Online games are an objective existence that cannot disappear from the world. Although the state has strictly controlled online games, including real-name login, including restrictions on the login time and duration of minors, there are still children who use their "ingenuity" to break these restrictions in various ways.
This reminds us parents that prevention is not preventable. As a parent, have you helped your children develop good living habits? Has it helped children realize the core logic of online games? Have you helped your child build healthy personal hobbies? These are the weapons against addiction, you know?
First, develop habits
What does it mean to make a habit? Simply put, it is to cut off the child's dependence on online games. Responsibly speaking, the vast majority of children who are addicted to online games are addicted to three reasons: first, lack of parental companionship; second, there is no sense of achievement in reality; third, there is no channel of communication in reality.
How many children are accompanied by their parents, and if their parents are willing to do something meaningful with him and are interested in him, they will choose to play online games? Do they really prefer online games to their own parents? As parents of our children, how many opportunities have we given online games?
When you stop what you think is very important and run to accompany your child, you close the distance between yourself and your child, and you successfully "separate" the relationship between your child and online games.
In real life, it takes a lot of effort to make a little progress in learning, and it is not easy to achieve a little success in other fields. But in the game, the achievement can be achieved with the touch of a finger, so the online game will give the child such a strong stimulus.
Think about it from another angle, in real life, do we provide our children with some sense of accomplishment? When you carefully observe that he has made some small progress in a certain aspect, when you see that he has been working tirelessly for a certain goal, will you encourage him in a timely manner from the heart and give him a sense of accomplishment? For children, the sense of accomplishment obtained by the encouragement of their parents is more precious than the illusory sense of achievement in online games, have you ever thought about it?
I'll ask three more questions: First, when your child takes the initiative to communicate with you, can you let him finish his words? Second, will you interrupt your child halfway through his speech and self-righteously speak his opinion? Third, will you refuse to accept emotions when your child just wants to talk to you, and just provide him with a lot of rational words so-called "methods"?
If you especially like to interrupt the child, if you are particularly reluctant to accept the child's emotions, over time, he will not treat you as his own person, the reason why he is not willing to communicate with you - when he communicates with you, he will feel great pressure, and his emotions will not be understood by you.
Do you know? In online games, it is very easy to communicate with others, there is no pressure, you can say whatever you want, and you don't have to think about the consequences. So, as a parent, can you make the communication between your child and you easier and smoother? This will also alleviate his dependence on online games.
The above is the part of the habit, specifically, the three keywords of companionship, achievement, and communication. Let's talk about meeting the world.
Second, see the world
What does it mean to see the world? We all know that well-informed people, usually have a wider range of knowledge, and are generally not easy to be fooled, right? If you've been to an online game development company, learned about their operating model, and known their development direction, it's hard to indulge in online games because you're too familiar with their routines.
Of course, not every parent has a way to take their children to a game development company, so you can also listen to Mr. Miao talk about the routines of the game development company, and then find an opportunity to tell your children about it.
The development companies of online games are definitely concentrated camps for xueba, who are not only technically skilled, but also have first-class intelligence. Game companies don't make money, and they certainly can't afford to raise these school bullies. So how do they make money?
One is the length of time the player uses, and the other is the player's recharge of money. It is easy to understand how many adults are throwing thousands of dollars into online games, let alone minors, I will not say much about this, focusing on the length of use. The longer each player spends on the game on average, the higher the valuation of the game company, the easier it is to raise funds, and the variety of business collaborations continues to flow.
Those high-IQ geniuses of the game company must study how to make players addicted to the game, all the charming storylines in the game, all the exquisite game graphics, all the strong confrontation conflicts, all the close player communication, are the routines that attract you to spend more time playing the game, and they are all "glue" that sticks you to the game.
You are attracted by the excitement of the game, but you don't know that behind the wonderful game is harvesting your scythe. No one likes to be cheated on by others, and so do children. When children know the routines of game companies, will they still be addicted to games? There must be a large number of people who will deeply regret their original addiction.
Third, look for alternatives
After talking about meeting the world, let's talk about finding alternatives. Playing games is definitely going to take a lot of time, and whether children can put excessive game time into other things is a question worth thinking about every parent.
I provide you with three ideas, one is to find some healthier games, preferably stand-alone games, play with children, both can get closer to the child, but also can keep him away from online games;
The second is to let children focus on game programming, let them fall in love with programming, programming is a weapon to get high salaries in the future;
The third is to find some sports to replace online games, sports can also make people relax, happy, but also promote physical health. The most important thing is that the vast majority of children do not contradict their favorite sports activities, which are determined by youth hormones.
Develop habits, companionship, communication, and a sense of accomplishment; see the world, learn to bully, routine, and not be deceived; find alternatives, stand-alone, programming, and go to sports. Three tricks to go on, online games are not addicted, have you learned? Will your child be addicted to online games? What methods have you used? Do these methods work?
