The answer is inevitable, buying cell phones for children has become a social phenomenon, children without cell phones will become inconvenient for life, but giving the cell phone to the child, but also on the child's learning will have an impact. As parents, we need to teach our children how to use their phones properly.

If parents refuse to buy a cell phone for their children in order not to delay their studies, it will only put the child in a predicament that is out of step with his or her peers, which is also another kind of harm to the child.

Since we can't refuse children to have a cell phone this thing, then we should consider how to let children use the phone correctly, cell phones for children's learning, is a double-edged sword, the use of good to help children learn, and the wrong use, it will affect the harm to the child's schooling.

Second, learning can be done with the help of cell phones, but not dependent on them

The advantage of cell phones is to be able to access the Internet, and the Internet can help children solve many learning problems, textbooks, and test papers in those things that do not understand, children can also be efficient on the Internet to find the relevant answers and ideas to solve the problem, which has a very good role for independent learning and answer, parents will also be much less pressure to tutor.

But this requires the child to know to master a degree, many children to greedy for convenience, and often are not willing to think, directly on the Internet to find the answer even, this is one of the reasons that will affect the learning. Teaching your child how to properly use the phone as a learning tool, do not let your child rely on the phone, is a point that parents need to pay attention to.

Three set a good time for children to use cell phones

For young children, there is no clear feeling about the time to use cell phones, and many times children play with cell phones all day long. Therefore, as parents, we need to intervene to provide a good time for children to play with cell phones and regulate the use of cell phones.

For example, you can stipulate that children can only play on cell phones after school, or during rest time, before going to bed to parents to keep the phone, can not bring their own into the room, to avoid children in bed secretly playing cell phones, through the way the rules, so that children gradually learn to self-discipline.

Fourth, train your child's ability to resist the temptation of cell phones

For older children, indulging in cell phone games is a very common and serious problem, especially for teenagers, who are often cell phones, cell phones take up too much study time, which will affect their daily study, so it is especially important to train children to resist the temptation of cell phones.

On the one hand, we need to let children realize that learning is the most important thing at the moment, not because of cell phones and waste of their studies; on the other hand, we also need to let children know that, no matter what time, long time addiction to cell phones is a harmful thing, we should have self-control for cell phones.

Important note: Buying a cell phone has become a real trend, parents should not block it, want to avoid the impact of cell phones on children's learning, then we must let children learn how to properly use the phone, the phone into a learning tool, rather than a daily indulgence, wasted pastime tools, training children to resist the bad temptation of cell phones.
