I believe that in real life, many people will see such a scene. Many children pick up their mobile phones and play with ease. The game is more lively. A recent study found that many children play wechat when they are 3 years old and buy online when they are 7 years old. Is it good for teenagers when they are young?
Recently, the theme activity of youth day of the fourth Guangdong Network Security week -- Guangdong children's network security forum was held. A survey report released on the Forum revealed the new characteristics of children's netizens after "00" and "10".
According to the survey, children are getting younger and younger. In terms of online time, more than 23% of preschool children (3-6 years old) surf the Internet for more than half an hour every day. Previously, a survey showed that adults spend at least one or two hours online on average, and children's' online time 'is not far away from adults.
So, what do children do online? According to the released news, similar to adults, young children also carry out entertainment, consumption, information release and other activities through the Internet. In the 7-year-old group, 24.2% of the surveyed children have studied online game strategies, 61.0% have downloaded games, videos and music independently; 8.5% have online shopping; 14.4% have published pictures, videos or texts on the Internet, and even 4.7% have fans.
It is worth noting that according to the survey, children use social media more and more early. Some children began to use QQ and wechat at the age of 3; by the age of 7, 9.9% of children used QQ and 15% used wechat; by the age of 12, the proportion of children with QQ (87.9%) and wechat (69.7%) was more than half.
Playing wechat at the age of 3 and online shopping at the age of 7 may surprise many parents. Even if children are exposed to new things and technological products faster, they won't be enlightened so early!
In fact, most children learn to surf the Internet without a teacher. Excluding some parents' conscious guidance (in fact, not many parents will lead their children to surf the Internet too early), most children are inadvertently exposed to the Internet in their daily life. For example, when parents are playing with mobile phones, their children snatch them and 'explore' them.
The reason for this phenomenon lies in the lower and lower threshold of access to the Internet and the increasing integration of the Internet and daily life. Imagine that in the era of dial-up Internet access, many adults may not know how to operate complicated computer programs, let alone children. But today, Internet access has changed from a complex thinking process to a "touch era". In front of them is a networked iPad, which can be touched by anyone at will, and the network software will immediately 'feed back' relevant information. It's in this simple 'feedback' that many children acquire the skills of surfing the Internet.
There have been studies in pedagogy for a long time. Children's learning is basically done by imitation. Children can play wechat and online shopping, or imitate their parents' behavior, or imitate according to the guidance of online 'feedback' information, and there are a large number of online chat, shopping and game related content in numerous TV plays, advertisements and even news, which will make children 'enlightened' prematurely.
This is the inevitable trend of the development of an era. No one can escape it, and there is no need to reject it. What we can do is to recognize the objective rationality of this phenomenon and guide children to use the Internet in a scientific way. The truth of "double-edged sword" is well known. It is not necessary to elaborate here, but the key is how to exert the positive influence of the Internet on young children.
First of all, parents should have a clear sense of management. It's also online. It's good to teach early and learn knowledge, but it's not good to just let children spend their time online. On the other hand, it's not surprising that children play games on the Internet. Children are naturally fond of playing games. They just need to guide children to play educational development games, and don't let them indulge in some violent games. After all, it's very important to establish a correct outlook and character from childhood. At present, the outside world has not paid enough attention to the scientific management and behavior norms of the network younger users, and the 'green network' channel specially designed for them has not been well developed and implemented. Presumably, with the increasing popularity of "playing wechat at the age of 3 and online shopping at the age of 7", people will pay more attention to the possible problems of younger netizens.
