Hi friends all. May we always be in the protection of Allah SWT.
On this occasion I want to post some posts. Hopefully useful for all of us.
Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, implements strict rules about giving gadgets to his children. It also specifies the minimum age of children allowed to own a mobile phone. This should be imitated by all parents.
Who does not know Bill Gates? He is one of the richest men in the world, and he is the creator of modern technology in the computer industry.
If talking about technology, of course Bill Gates knows best what is good and what is not.
This world-class computer boss has three children who are teenagers. As a person in the technology world, surely he knows when the best age to give mobile phones (mobile phones) or gadgets in children.
In an interview published in Tenplay, Bill Gates asserted that children should NOT be allowed to own a smart phone or gadget before the age of 14 years.
Parenting experts (parenting education for children) and technology experts agree with Bill Gates. Because research has also proven that letting children touch technology too early can adversely affect children.
Bill confesses, that he and his wife Melinda set strict rules related to giving gadgets to his children. Even though their son protested the rules, he remained firm.
We do not allow anyone to hold the phone while eating. We also did not give our children a cell phone before the age of 14, though they complained that their friends already had a mobile phone before the age of 14, Bill Gates said.
The following is a list of rules regarding the use of technology, which Bill Gates and his wife have applied to their children.
Prohibit their child from owning a mobile phone before the age of 14 years
Limit screen time, so they have more time to spend with family
Not allowed to carry mobile phone at meal time
Determine the hours applicable for viewing television and mobile phones every day so that children can go to sleep earlier than other children.
Adverse effects of gadgets on children
Children can be exposed to the bad influence of the internet, are also vulnerable to the victims of predators who roam the internet, or bullying in the digital world
Influencing children's brain development
Make the child becomes lazy to move, so the motor system slow to develop
Influencing the development of mental and social health. Children who are addicted to internet and gadgets can not socialize well, so he has no friends to play
Makes children dependent on gadgets, so he can not be independent in solving problems.
Children become slow in thinking.
Although recognized that the Internet also has good content and good for the development of children. However, if not selective and restricted, excessive screentime may adversely affect the child.
As a parent, we have to be bold in deciding the rules related to giving gadgets to children. Even if your child complains about this, you have to stick with it.
The late Steve Jobs, the boss of Apple's world-renowned gadget brand also stated that he forbade his children to use the latest technology.
It certainly opens our eyes, that technology experts themselves do not let their child be exposed by technological sophistication too early. They allow their children to grow normally, and befriend the surrounding environment. So that children can grow well.
Let's make the lesson to be more assertive in the rules of using gadgets to our children at home.
