Who knows all about vision and eye health? Of course, the doctors, and those who creates and produces cartoons and family movies for our children. The film company, Twentieth Century Fox in Association with specialists on child health has developed 5 rules for moms and dads that will help you organize your home cinema experience without harm to eyesight and healthy development of your kids.Rule 1. Not more than one cartoon a day. Let's not be fooled - many families TV works long hours in a row, which affects children's vision in the most pernicious way. Meanwhile, in the first years of life in children and is an active development of the visual system, and the TV has a significant impact on this process.
Tells a pediatric ophthalmologist and mother of two children, Natalia Lokshina: "In this period of excessive pressure on the eye can cause serious vision problems, and therefore, experts do not advise to arrange telesessions children under two years of age. Then the stay of the child in front of the screen can be gradually increased, starting around 20-30 minutes a day. It is considered that the optimum time to view the video for older preschoolers is on the order of hours, and in any case, it is unacceptable to allow kids to watch more than one full-length movie per day. For younger students duration "movie" can be doubled, but the view is necessary to arrange at least one 15-minute break".
Rule 2. Create the right conditions for viewing. You should not watch TV in a completely darkened room, because it is too sharp changes in brightness quickly cause children visual fatigue. If possible, watch the cartoons in the afternoon or evening in a well-lit room.
It is important to put the child right in front of the screen, at a distance of not less than 2, 5-3 meters, on the sofa or chair with vertical back, serving as a support for the spine. Do not train your child to eat in front of the TV, and try to avoid interruptions for lunch.
Rule 3. Watch out for image quality. In dosed quantities watching cartoons, of course, promotes the healthy development of the child. With a lack of a variety of visual sensations in a child can cause amblyopia, there is a delay in the development of the visual analyzer. In this sense, it is important that the image on the screen was clear, free from irritating flicker and other defects. We can not allow familiarity with film for young viewers clouded drab colors and vague silhouettes - the usual companions of counterfeit DVDs and video files of dubious origin. It is very important that on the TV screen the kids saw their favorite characters exactly as they remember their session in the cinema - bright, alive, bearing joy and kindness.
Comments the expert laboratory of psychology of creativity of the Institute of psychology RAS, candidate of psychological Sciences Alexey Alekseevich Medyntsev: "it is Clear that poor image affects our visual system - it simply spoils the sight. However, if for an adult, the result of such deterioration, ultimately, comes down to purchasing sunglasses, it is for a child limitation of view affects all its development. It has long been noted that the defect of any one sense organ can cause isolated "disable" this feature, but leads to a number of physiological abnormalities.
In particular, children with visual impairments psychologists noticed a significant delay in the overall development. They are formed depleted visualizations, learning processes compared to normal children in slow motion, so as impaired vision affects the formation of attention. Partially sighted children have more emotional and anxiety. All these factors greatly complicate the fixture toddler to a full life and require the intervention of specialized psychologists and educators.
In short, in place of the parents, I wouldn't risk the mental development of the child and give it to watch movies or transmission, can ruin the vision".
You can be sure that on the original disks, purchased in retail stores, you will find a clear image free from blur and digital defects inherent pirate records.
Rule 4. Choose good cartoons. Cartoons have a positive effect on the development of imagination, fantasy and emotional sphere of the child. It is very important keep track of which cartoons watching your child: characters must be different (mischievous, restless, quiet), but not to be aggressive to survive not only positive, but also negative emotions, to teach friendship, mutual help and do the right thing.
Rule 5. Watch cartoons together. Nothing unites as a common pastime! Because children are more actively react to watching cartoons than adults, it is very important to maintain their enthusiasm. Baby always want to be able to someone to share their experiences. While watching the DVD and after talk with your child about the characters, together, draw cartoon characters or create a separate story about heroes and play a trick on her. In addition, watching cartoons together with your child gives you the opportunity to explain to him, "what is good and what is bad".
