If this is the case, then this news is very useful for you. A new initiative has been started in the schools of West Bengal to get rid of mobile addiction in children and engage them elsewhere.
55 teachers of 50 schools in South 24 Parganas of West Bengal have been trained. Now they are teaching chess to children in school. Experts believe that if children are engaged in playing chess, then mobile addiction can be overcome, and their thinking ability also increases. In the second phase, teachers of all the schools of the district will be trained.
Teachers were given training for the first time.
According to Tapas Sarkar, Secretary of South 24 Parganas Chess Association, which gives chess training to teachers, this training has been started for the teachers of schools for the first time. This project has been started to save children from becoming mobile addicts. According to Krishnendu Ghosh, School Inspector of Jayanagar Circle, chess will increase the calculation ability of children, inspire teamwork, and lead to mental development.
Playing chess develops these abilities.
• Chess is a mental game in which a new strategy has to be made with every move. This develops the thinking ability in children.
• Patience is required to play chess, and this quality is very important for children.
• Chess, a game of making strategies, develops the thinking ability in children.
• Chess increases calculation and reasoning power. It also motivates to make moves with confidence.
• Complete concentration is required while playing chess. In such a situation, the child can learn to focus on a task.
• Every day, there is something new to learn in this game. Through this game, he will try to improve from his mistakes and can become better day by day.
These are the disadvantages of mobile addiction.
According to a survey by US-based mental health research organization Sapien Labs, watching mobile too much increases the risk of mental health problems in children. Children's memory can also be affected. The reason behind this is that increasing screen time can increase the level of the dopamine neurotransmitter in children's brains. This has a profound effect on their physical and mental health. At the same time, according to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, excessive screen time can cause problems like anxiety, insomnia, depression, and obesity.
Parents will also have to take initiative.
If you want to get rid of this addiction in children, then parents at home will first have to reduce their screen time. Keep the mobile away from yourself while eating, going to sleep, and especially pay attention to the fact that when the child is around, do not be busy with the phone, but talk to them, spend time with them.
Fix the time for the child from eating to sleeping, waking up, reading, and playing outdoor games, and in this way, give him only some time in the day for screen time. So that he can focus better on other things, and mobile addiction is reduced.
To get rid of mobile addiction in the child, it is important that, apart from studies, you engage him in new creative activities. Like painting, music, dance, making new crafts, etc. If you want, you can arrange a class for this or do something creative with him yourself.
If you want to get rid of mobile addiction, try to keep the phone away from the sight of the children. Especially when they are going to sleep, do not keep the mobile nearby. Do not make the mistake of buying a phone for the child at an early age.
