Harm from the computer? Or from parents?

All moral education of children is reduced to a kind example.
(L.N.Tolstoj)
All of us it more-further-is deeper on the Internet. For the world and well-being in a family are necessary now not only love and mutual understanding, but also at least two computers.
And what to do with a problem «children and the computer»? I represent to your attention conversation with the parent which does not limit dialogue of children with the computer.
– You and the truth do not limit "dialogue" of children with the computer?
– No. The computer is included at home constantly and children the same as also I "communicate" with it as required. And there is it at them rather and reasonably. My children live a normal, children's, cheerful, high-grade life.
– Well and how harm from the computer, which everywhere strashchajut?
– WHAT is harmful? Behind a computer harmfully, and in the TV advertising nobility all by heart because at parents it is included all the evening long, – it is not harmful?
– Harm for health – physical and mental.
– It is unhealthy? Modern the monitor, a convenient table-chair, good illumination to blink and be pulled, jump and a window leaf not to close – here and there is no special harm. To sit daily 6 lessons at a school desk too it is not useful.
Harmfully for mentality – so "show" to children in a computer fine, instead of awful. The encyclopaedias training games on any theme and for any age, product of great artists, classical music … – now so much useful and interesting programs and multimedia applications, that eyes run up! And that the child only also does that plays streljalki and browsers – fault of parents. Wines that have not shown another, have not looked and have not studied TOGETHER – here the child and plays only that has copied at the neighbour.
– It is considered, that with the computer it is necessary to limit time of dialogue of the child to 10-20 minutes in day. What do you think of it?
– I think, that first of all it is necessary to limit time spent by parents behind the TV and any household efforts. And to increase time spent with children – to make its so sated and interesting, that no virtual world will seem to the child more fascinating.
– That is, you consider, what parents are guilty?
– And who? Who does a forbidden and sweet fruit of computer games: «Here you will make lessons and I will allow to play». And why not to tell «Here you will make lessons and we will go to park to photograph a decline». And then, having come home to consider and process together these photos on the computer and to make of them cards to girls by March, 8th?
– And what do you think of acquaintance to the computer absolutely small children?
– Remarkably! Now many interesting, qualitative, useful and really developing programs for different age. They were developed by professionals for development of attention, memory, observation, erudition. Here, for example, who will guess suddenly to tell to the three-year daughter about knights. And she has seen them in a computer game and began to set questions. As a result we have constructed the lock of a box, and have arranged in real rytsarsko-printsessnuju an epopee for many months. The computer is a same part of a life of the child, as well as all the rest – books, toys, friends, grandmothers, walks, mugs, employment, creativity, dances, sports … the Main thing – not to replace all it is the computer, and only to supplement.
– How to be to parents? How to find the optimum decision of a problem «the child and the computer»?
– First of all: not to do from this the PROBLEM. It is not present, if parents do not create it. Children study on an example, instead of in words. Here also be for them an example. I work at home behind the computer, but thus I live a various and high-grade life not only in front of the monitor. Children see it and repeat for me. The computer for them – only means, the tool. Same, as paints, scissors and a mosaic. It by means of what it is possible to make and learn something interesting. By the way, skilful using this tool and knowledge of principles of its work not less important also is useful, than the nobility how correctly to hold scissors. Tell to the child well about the computer device. Let it will be not any «a magic box», and a clear design. "Monitor", «the system block», "disk drive" – knowledge of these words important is not less today, than words "hammer". These are realities of a modern life and here precisely it is better to keep up to date.
– By the way, one of modern realities is the Internet. Whether it is necessary to put restriction here?
– The Internet is a well of the information and a dustbin simultaneously. It is necessary to learn to take the child that really is necessary to it: to find the information, to use possibilities for dialogue with set of people. What for you the Internet and the computer? Something useful, doing a life is more interesting and easier, the tool and means for dialogue and enrichment - so? Here also impart it to the child on own example. In parallel with other pleasures and interesnostjami lives – active games, campaigns, good books, songs at a fire, a snow fortress and tea drinking with friends. And the TV hide far away.
– Well and in conclusion of our instructive conversation …?
– Banality. Dear parents, are responsible for a life, health and all-round, harmonious development of children ONLY YOU. Realise it and do not expostulate on a mirror and manufacturers of computer games.

Marina, forgive for tediousness, in a phrase “the Computer for them – only means, the tool. Same, as paints, scissors and mozajka.” - I would correct "mozajka" on ““. I would not write this comment if it has not been assured, that for you it is important to publish well and competently written texts.
(Can erase this comment, I even will be glad to it, because itself I hesitate of this tediousness. To a word "mozajka" at me an old abacus:))
Comment by Airy on November 21, 2007Thanks, Airy.
I will be grateful for your further "tediousness" and amendments. 
Anyway - "rebyonki", sit down the computer faster than take the handle and a writing-book in hands. Regrettably to notice, but even to me, the adult djadke, it is difficult to write already by hand. It is easier to "fill" texts in electronic form and to unpack.
