Upbringing style: Live game or computer? Tablet or interactions with a teacher?

       In the modern world, learning with the help of tablets and mobile phonesis very common; various educational games have become popular. Of course, this is due to high accessibility and incredible variety.

        Then why do psychologists still believe that teaching a child must necessarily include interaction with a person – with a teacher? (any person with whom the child feels easy, interested, protected can play the role of a teacher)

Those from whom we learn are rightly called teachers, but not everyone who teaches us deserves that name.

(Johann Wolfgang Goethe)

        A   Real World is a source of development for a child.

        Game is the main Method of child’s development.

        This is a FREE GAME where a child can create, invent, construct, connect, find solutions.

        This is a Creative Spontaneous Game that has no direct purpose to educate!

        Computer games are not free games.

        In any computer game, you always move within the framework of the plot conceived by the game programmer.

        Many will object: “But Minecraft, where the player himself builds and creates his own spaces!”

        Please note that, for example, in Minecraft, the player can only build from materials that are programmed by the creator of the game. The given scope of tools, materials is limited by the ideas of the designer. In fact, man cannot create himself.

        If one always play only according to patterns, then he/she loses the ability to create.

        And this is the very skill that allows a person to build his own life in the future, create it not according to a template, but from within himself, independently, becoming the creator of his life. This is the ability to embody what was conceived, it is creativity and purposefulness.

        Remember how a Child examines the world around with interest, reaches for a toy, wants to touch it, crush it, lick it, take it in his mouth, throw it and see how it flies and what will happen to it when it falls. He interacts with the living world, sees the reactions of the world to his actions.

        In a live game, you can touch, smell, taste, feel texture and temperature.

        You can constantly invent something, you can change something, redo it.

        You can make something out of nothing - that is, solve a life problem.

         A Free game develops intellectual abilities, emotional intelligence, communication skills.

And this is the development of the ability to make decisions in the future, set goals and achieve them, get out of difficult situations, seeing the variety of plots.

        Tablets and mobile phones are, of course, easier to organize. You give a tablet to your child, and dowhatever you need.

But the Child cannot understand at the level of logic that live game is important for the development of all spheres of his life. Also, a child has no developed willpower to use it.

        For sure in the absence of the right organization, the child will choose the tablet, because it's easier. (like many adults will choose to watch a movie over gymnastics)

The task and responsibility of the parent is to create conditions for the child so that he can develop,

play, interacting with the living world.

And step by step, create his own model of a happy and successful adult!
