What should I do if my baby likes watching cartoons? These tricks to deal with

Many children like to watch cartoons very much, but everyone knows that watching cartoons for a long time is very bad for children’s eyes and even harmful to their health. Many parents are very distressed about this, so today I will teach you some effective solutions.

The first solution to your child's love of watching cartoons: correct thinking

First of all, we need to correct parents’ wrong ideas about cartoons. It is not the children’s fault if they love watching cartoons. Put yourself in their shoes and think about why children love watching cartoons? Most of the reasons are that parents are usually busy with work and rarely devote their energy to their children, so children can only watch cartoons to pass the time, and parents are unable to make cartoons play their original role.

The second solution to children’s love of watching cartoons: set a time limit

Generally speaking, children should not be allowed to develop the bad habit of watching TV as soon as they get home from school. The time for children to watch cartoons must be set from an early age. Even if the child cries, the original time must not be extended without reason. For example, kindergarten children can watch TV for 20 to 30 minutes at home in the evening. Reasonable TV viewing time can be set according to children of different age groups.

The third solution to your child’s love of watching cartoons: accompany your child

Parents can watch the film with their children when they are free, and explain the content to them with appropriate words. After the children understand, they may ask a few questions for them to answer, so as to stimulate their thinking ability, instead of just letting them enjoy visual or auditory stimulation.

The fourth strategy for children to watch cartoons: provide activities

In daily life, parents should provide their children with more interesting and diverse activities, such as puzzles, origami, painting, playing ball, etc., to enrich their lives. They can also take their children out to play on holidays, which is more conducive to the all-round development of their children. Children should not be limited to watching TV.

The fifth solution to your child's love of watching cartoons: choose the right CD

It is recommended that parents buy some children's books that come with story animation CDs. Not only can they read the stories repeatedly but they can also move along with the animations, thus increasing children's interest.
