Many babies love watching TV, which is a headache for parents. In fact, parents and friends should reflect that their children are like a blank sheet of paper, and whatever you give them, they will learn. There is a direct relationship between children's love for watching TV and their parents. Watching TV for a long time is not beneficial for a baby's physical, visual, and language expression abilities. So, what if a two-year-old baby loves watching TV?
What should I do if a two-year-old baby loves watching TV
1. Parents can guide their babies to stay away from TV and take them outdoors to play and interact with nature when they have free time. For example, playing with water or sand is both acceptable.
2. When at home, don't put your baby aside. You can maximize the richness of your child's life, such as playing more games with them, listening to music, telling stories, and so on.
3. You can prepare some fun and educational toys for your baby, which can effectively divert their attention from TV.
4. You can set a time for your baby to watch TV, and then turn it off as soon as the time is up. For babies before the age of five, it is best not to watch TV for more than 30 minutes at a time.
5. When watching TV, babies should keep a certain distance from the TV, preferably about 5-7 times the diagonal of the TV screen.
6. In daily diet, it is important to provide babies with foods that are rich in vitamin A and beta carotene, such as animal liver, cod liver oil, eggs, milk, etc., to alleviate visual fatigue.
The harm of two-year-old babies watching TV
1. The visual nerve development of young babies is not yet sound. Watching TV for a long time can make babies prone to nerve fatigue, visual blurring, eye soreness, and vision loss.
2. The electromagnetic radiation from television can damage a baby's immune system, and the charged dust in the air can also cause rashes on the baby's skin.
3. If a baby watches TV for a long time, their activity time will be relatively reduced, and their movements and fine motor skills will not be well exercised and developed.
4. If a baby becomes addicted to watching TV, it is likely to cause social disorders, introverted personality, language delay, and other symptoms that are detrimental to the baby.
5. Frequent switching of TV screens can seriously affect the development of a baby's right brain.
