Boredom and heat make most children "otaku"

The summer vacation is nearing the end, but for many children, this win should be a colorful summer life, but become unusually monotonous and uninteresting. According to a survey released August 7 by the Shanghai 12355 Youth Public Service platform, more than 60% of primary and secondary school students spend half of their vacation time at home. Parents busy at work, schools in the "suspend business", so many primary and secondary school students helpless became "curtilage children." According to the relevant survey shows, in the online vegetables, pets, weaving "scarf", playing online games, so that a lot of "curtilage children" will spend a lot of time on the Internet. A pupil parents helpless post complained: "Now go home, children are only QQ and I spoke." ”

Recently, the Department of Sociology, Nankai University, Tianjin Youth Psychological Counseling Center, a survey of nearly 500 students in Tianjin primary and secondary schools showed that 68% of students during the summer vacation through QQ, micro-blog, website and other means of social activities, daily Internet time more than 6 hours. Even 15% of students have never been out of the house since the summer holiday and have been "soaking" on the internet.

A "whenever" white-collar memory of their summer vacation: "A holiday, our hearts are ' flying '." Visit the park or the suburbs all day long. A summer vacation down, people tan, but also make a lot of new friends. Today's children will only ' house ' at home, immersed in the virtual world, lack of practical social. In fact, true happiness and happiness must come from the real world experience. ”

China Youth Research Center in 2010, the third "China's Children's development status" survey showed that the network has become a common platform for children and friends to communicate and connect, is an important way to build their interpersonal relationships. Often and sometimes online with classmates and friends and other acquaintances chat children accounted for the 50.9% of all children.

Just took part in the middle school students to the reporter told reporters his summer vacation day: Get up after the first thing is to open the computer, boarded QQ and net, see friends dynamic, leave them a message; then play games, chat, and the day passed quickly ... Small dong also want to go out to play a game, can always think the days too hot, and can't find peer partners, had to continue such "curtilage".

Nearly half of internet users are keen on social networking sites, according to a August 2010 report on the health of Chinese Internet users, published in the 39 Health network in 2010. Among respondents under 18 years old, 57.4% of them had been up in the middle of the night to net, QQ farms and other community sites, "stealing vegetables", compared to other age groups of people interviewed more.

The report pointed out that the 18-year-old netizens, are in the growth and development period of the youth, most of the mind is not mature, self-control is poor, easy to indulge in entertainment and can not extricate themselves, is "virtual social dependence" one of the major groups.

Shishing, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at Peking University, has written that social interaction is the basis for forming and sustaining social relationships. Healthy and perfect social communication mechanism is of great significance to promote the harmonious development of society. In social networking, the two parties no longer need face-to-face communication, but rely on various network tools, in a "physical absence" of the way to interact. This kind of "body is absent" type of communication interaction, is impacting the traditional social relationship foundation.

According to the "Guangming" report, Shishing and other people have conducted a study on the Internet, the results show that at present, 18.3% of netizens because of the internet to reduce the daily contact with their parents, 28.8% of netizens because of the internet and reduce the daily contact with relatives, neighbors time. Similar to the situation in recent years in Europe and the United States, the development of social networking has inevitably exacerbated some aspects of social alienation.

BEIJING, August 10 quoted foreign media reported that a study in the United States, often on the "Facebook" (That is, "Facebook", the famous social networking site-editor note) or other social networking sites, young people in schools are mostly low, and can cause psychological problems and narcissism trend. The researchers surveyed the students ' concentration in 15 minutes, and they were surprised that students were constantly thinking about refreshing their Facebook pages. "They can't concentrate for about three minutes." Psychologist Larry Rosen said, "The more social networking sites, the less focused." This leads to a drop in their grades. "Teenagers under the age of 13 will be more anxious, depressed and can cause insomnia and gastrointestinal problems if they overuse social networks."

Shanghai 12355 Youth Public service platform psychologist Shing that parents because of life, work pressure, simply let children "curtilage" at home, ignoring their psychological needs, easy to cause them to appear autistic emotions and extreme behavior. Children stay at home for a long time in the physical and psychological growth is very unfavorable, more for the children to arrange outdoor activities, on the one hand can squeeze off the children at home, on the other hand can cultivate their self-confidence and ability.

Lu Shanyao, an expert on family education at the Shanghai Academy of Education, said in a media interview that the "blocking" approach to social networking sites was not appropriate. Now many children's social networking sites have introduced "anti-addiction" settings, Rules: 24 o'clock to 6 in the morning to shut down the server, set each child's continuous Internet access time is 45 minutes, timed to remind the movement; children who live online for more than two hours a day can not get "mole beans" (a virtual reward), The speed of the game also slows down.

He suggested that parents can set a certain amount of Internet time per week, more than this time to limit children to be punished, so as to establish a "network need to control" awareness, training their self-control ability.

Shing suggests that free summer camps can be organized by residents ' neighborhoods or streets, not only to allow children to find playmates in the community, but also to reassure parents about their safety. Nankai University Internship Base guidance teacher Wanghongxiang also suggested that parents can be the children's summer life arrangements for a rich, piano, painting, outing, community activities are a good choice. Only in this way can we return these "curtilage children" to a real childhood.
