Many families are on the problem this week. During the summer, the screen time may have increased rapidly and it should be reduced again when the school’s work begins.
Pia Penttala, a specialist psycho and family therapist known as supernanny, sees that in families where screen time has increased, screen time has become a problem before.
– There the parents have shot themselves in the ankle that it has been added. If it has already been a challenge, you don’t have to wonder that it is an even bigger challenge when it comes to limiting it. Yes, it is home to the home, Penttala says.
Penttala recalls that two changes in the law of children have been made when moving to the new school. One applies to the age limits for electric kicking and the other is the prohibition on the use of mobile devices in elementary schools.
– They are big factors at school in the fall. I would talk about things in advance. Children may not have internalized them at all, Penttala says.
Penttala sees that there is only one approach angle in talking about the use of mobile devices. The child should be told that it is how it is and there is no room for negotiation. Parents should emphasize the child’s own responsibility and the fact that the child does as he is told.
– Not all things can always be approached with silk gloves or give time to adapt. Our kids are smart and understand. They also know how to play, but they do understand that this is the case now, and there is nothing strange about this, Penttala says.
When it comes to restrictions on the use of mobile devices, Penttala believes that they are only good for children. He believes that the law change supports the school as an institution and gives more ways to influence children’s learning ability.
– When this happens, it also carries outside the school. As the brain learns that “now I am focusing on doing this,” they begin to thirst for action that requires concentration in other points. I really believe that it is good, Penttala says.
