* In recent years, in the midst of the fast-paced world in which we live and the spread of technology, I noticed a great deal of children’s interest in computers, smart phones and iPads, by watching videos, YouTube games, Internet games, and browsing without parental supervision. I also noticed that parents leave their children to watch such things until they turn away from them and not disturb them and cause them problems. Or breaking the holdings of others...or other things...and this is a very serious issue, as we are in the process of canceling the emotional mind of the child and making him vulnerable to the virtual world.

  But what parents don't know is that they destroy the mentality and feeling of their children and make them vulnerable to psychological and organic diseases that may affect children in these stages of life, such as autism, introversion, obesity and many diseases that we may be indispensable for. Therefore, I saw that we are all responsible for our children who are all our lives. We strive We get tired and exposed to the pressures of daily life to ensure them a comfortable life or a decent way of living.

* Then a lot of research was conducted on the use of technology in children’s lives, where you rarely find a child who does not use the iPad or smart phones in his games. There is a close link between the child’s behavior and the upbringing of parents and what is seen in the surrounding environment such as school, friends and the Internet, and from here scientists link the behavior of the child The excessive use of the Internet and the aggressive style of the child and the use that helps to develop his skills, but let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of technology for our children.

Positive side of using technology:

1. It helps the child to learn new things from letters and numbers and link them to the world of animals, thus knowing the shape and name of the animal and linking it with numbers. He can also distinguish fruits and vegetables and can teach him the geography of countries and maps.
2. Some games, activities and programs on the Internet or devices are useful for the child as he learns to finish the stages and think, and there are some programs to develop the mind and mind and these are very useful for the child.
3. Pictured stories are very useful for the child, as they expand the child's imagination and urge him to meditate, imagine and analyze events, and discuss them with parents. He can also express an opinion on them with the family, and the stories before bed help him to relax.
4.  Various programs such as What'sup, Facebook, Skype and other programs help you to communicate with family and friends to strengthen relationships and bonds, especially for family members who are in other countries and to contact parents in case of emergency.
5. The child learns to search for and purify information and then use it in his own knowledge or search or acquire new information, but first needs parental supervision of the child.

Negative side to using technology:

1. The child spends most of his time in front of his own device, whether laptop, iPad, or smartphone, for hours, so that he cannot sit and enjoy with his parents, sisters, or companions, and pushes him to autism and isolation and turns to the virtual world.
2. While the child sits in front of games for a long time, his eyesight weakens and he is exposed to physical damage such as obesity, damage to the brain, memory functions, laxity, and general lethargy of the body.
3. A child watching violent movies or games that contain violence acquires aggressive and violent behaviors that he can apply in reality and have a negative impact on his dealings with family and friends.
4. One of the big problems is that the Internet is without censorship, so it is vulnerable to watching pornographic films, inappropriate content, or murders, and it affects the child's behavior directly.
5. Weak educational attainment, by sitting for hours in front of games or watching movies, the child neglects the study, and this is evident in his weak educational and achievement level.

Some of steps must be taken to improve the mental health of the child :

1. Teaching the child games that stimulate thinking.
2.  Paying attention to singing for them and telling stories before bed, as it develops their language skills and intelligence as well.
3.  Paying attention to healthy food for them, as it helps to build the body and mind in a sound and healthy way.
4.  Learn new skills every day, such as using his spoon and learn to wear shoes.

You must take care of several things with your children, the most important of which are:

Healthy food :

 

One of the priorities of caring for children is to provide a healthy and healthy diet. The child needs 4 to 5 daily meals of fruits, vegetables, grains and meat. Children usually like sweet and salty food, but the distribution of proportions is very important for them in proportion to your child, so they can be deceived, for example, by giving him his meals in ready-made boxes for adults to accept It easily, and he thinks he is eating with you.

Brain development games:

 

  There are many games for children that help them develop their minds in a proper way, such as puzzle games and cube-forming games, and he must be helped in the beginning so that he does not get bored of them and give him the appropriate incentive while configuring the game correctly. Some other games such as installing wooden pieces and forming models have a strong impact on the development of his mental skills and this About my personal experience with my children.

Allocate enough time with your children in the middle of nature:

 

The child needs to explore the other world of trees, plants and the surrounding areas around him. At this age, he loves to explore the surrounding world in his own way, with the guidance of parents and under their gaze, and to take him to the zoo to see the animals on the ground. In general, going out with the child to the outdoors is very beneficial for the child’s mental health and the development of his intelligence quickly big.

And I ask you to attention to the mental and physical health of your children developing your child's intelligence so that they are not exposed to mental illnesses.

And I hope that God will always protect and take care of our children.
