Television And Children. Is It Entertainment Or Harm?
Nowadays TV, computer have become a part of kids’ life, many parents seat children at the screen, which is increasingly replacing old grandmother’s tales, my mother’s lullabies, talk with my father … The screen becomes the main “educator” of the child.
Such a pastime is convenient not only for children but also for parents. In fact, a child does not stick, asks nothing, no risk and at the same time receives impressions, learn something new, attached to the modern civilization. However, this seemingly safe job may entail very grave consequences not only for the health of the child (visual impairment, lack of movement, spoiled posture), but also for his mental development. At the present time, when the first generation of “screen children’ IS growing up, these effects become more apparent.
One of them – IS the lag in the development of speech. In recent years either parents or teachers often complain about delays in speech development: children begin to talk later, speak a little and poorly, their speech is poor and primitive. Special speech therapy aid is needed for almost every group of kindergarten. This pattern is observed throughout the world. For the last 20 years the number of speech disorders has increased more than in six times!
The speech that child hear from the screen remains little meaningful set of hearsay, it does not become “their own”. Therefore, children prefer to remain silent, and express themselves with cries or gestures.
Speech – this is not only a means of communication, but also a means of thinking, imagination, and mastery of his behavior, a means of understanding their experiences.
Educators and psychologists have increasingly noted the inability of children to concentrate on some occupation, lack of interest in the matter. These symptoms were summarized in a picture of a new disease – “lack of concentration. This disease is particularly evident in the learning process and is characterized by the fact that children do not stay in any classroom, quickly switch over, feverishly seeking to change impressions. These children need constant external stimulation.
It became difficult for many of them to perceive information at hearing – they cannot keep in memory the previous sentence, and to link individual sentences. Audible speech does not cause them any images and stable impressions. For the same reason it is difficult to read: understanding individual words and short sentences, they cannot keep them in memory as a result of not understanding the text as a whole. Therefore, it is uninteresting, boring for children to read even the most good books.
Another fact which is noted by teachers – is a sharp decline in imagination and creativity of children. They lose the ability and desire to do something. They do not force for the invention of games, they get bored drawing, designing, and they did not care and does not excite anything.
A fully human development of the child is only possible in an intensive and continuous communication with older relatives. No hardware, no, even the most sophisticated and adapted for children media can replace a live person, can overcome the cultural meaning of surrounding things. If a child at an early age is deprived of full interaction with adults, this sense and the whole human culture remain closed, strangers, unused, and the inner world of baby is empty.
