Screen Time、電子奶嘴等對小朋友有乜唔好嘅影響,真係好多親子網站嘅「月經PO」,我哋POPA都講咗唔少次。有趣嘅係,對比幾年前好多父母都好緊張,依家大家都開始感受到孩子呢個世代接觸電子產品,根本就避無可避。
Screen Time愈多,影響愈大?
咁作為父母,明知有唔好嘅影響,又唔可以唔畀小朋友接觸,咁點好呢?今次真係要多謝大阪大學嘅教授Kenji J. Tsuchiya,佢嘅研究畀咗個好好嘅建議我哋。
佢呢個研究,追蹤咗885名年齡介於18個月至4歲的兒童,並觀察三個關鍵要素之間的關係,包括:2歲時每天平均的Screen Time、2歲8個月時戶外遊戲的時間,以及在4歲時透過行為量表評估測試所得的溝通、日常生活技能和社交能力等的分數。
Screen Time「負作用」一招可以減輕
研究最終發現小朋友2歲時Screen Time 愈多,去到4歲時嘅溝通能力和日常生活技能就愈差,而戶外遊戲雖然無法好似魔法咁完全消除呢啲壞影響,但戶外遊戲仍然可以將Screen Time對日常生活技能的負面影響降低近20%,而喺2歲8個月時花更多時間在戶外遊戲的兒童在4歲時的社交能力亦更好。
實不相瞞,呢個Post係喺AI嘅協助下完成,就連我哋都日日同螢幕打交道,下一代必然都要接觸電子產品,無法躲避,不過千祈唔好忘記螢幕以外仲有好靚嘅綠草藍天,大自然有真正嘅魔力,幫助我哋平衡返身心~多啲帶小朋友去郊遊遊,一定有益處~
