Today it is known that I-pads, smart phones and Xbox – the one of the digital forms of addiction. Recent studies using brain scanners showed that all the technique affects the brain frontal cortex, which controls system of the dopamine, responsible for the award, attention, short-term memory – absolutely similar to how the same area does affect cocaine. Technology not only significantly excites the brain activity, but also increases the body dopamine level – as well as strongly as during sex.
The brain of your children, playing electronic games, looks exactly the same as the human brain affected by drug. It is not surprising that it is so hard to drag children from computers, and children become so annoyed. Hundreds of clinical trials testifies the fact that computers increases depression, aggression and hastiness, and may even terminate the child’s relationship to the real world.
When the child goes beyond the threshold of addiction, it is very difficult to cure him. There are situations when the treatment of people addicted to heroin, was easier than a players, lost in the matrix, or children with dependence on the social networking.
Many of the 8-10 year old children spend up to 8 hours per day with digital sources of information, and teenagers – 11 hours. Every third child has been used smart devices or tablets even before they learned to speak. 18% of students, who use the Internet, are suffering from the addiction.
When a person goes beyond the threshold of addiction – whether it is drugs, digital technology or something else – he needs detoxification before it is possible to begin to successfully apply other treatments. In the case of technology – should be no computers, tablets and smart phones. In the extreme cases – need to turn off the TV. Detoxification duration – from 4 to 6 weeks, usually such time is sufficient for the excited nervous system to recover it. However, in our society, swamped by technologies and ubiquitous screens, this problem is very extraordinary. A person can live without drugs and alcohol, and behold, digital temptations lie in wait for him on every corner.
How we can deter children from crossing the limits of this? It is not easy. The point here lies in the fact that in order for the 4-5-8 year old children from sticking to the electronics, must be learned to choose the Lego instead of electronic games, the books instead of the I-phone, nature and sports instead of TV. If necessary, request that children were kept out of the tablets in the school until they do not get 10 years.
Talk sincerely to the children about why you control their time spent with electronics. Have supper with children without electronic devices at the table – kids are always doing the same what are doing their parents.
Psychologists engaged in the upbringing of children, understand that healthy child’s development – a social interaction, creative games and interacting with the real world. Unfortunately, the attractive effect having an electronic world is slowing their development.
We also know that children are more likely to run away from reality, if they feel lonely, they are bored, they have no purpose. As a result, we need to help children to get experience of the real life and interaction with real people. The child engaged in creation and close to his family, much less likely will want to escape to an imaginary digital world. But even if the child feels the support and love, he can be lost in the digital matrix if engage in attractive displays and test their effect. Every tenth person has a predisposition to addiction.

It is the parents' responsibility to get their children off from gadgets. They should not buy one for their toddlers, or at their very early age. Encourage them to engage in other physical activities rather than sitting all day playing games or being in social media chatting with friends. It is very unhealthy. They should enjoy their childhood days playing outdoors with other children.
