The digital world has changed the lifestyle of most children all around the globe. And parents must make digital resolutions for their children. These resolutions can make your children equip with digital technology and most of all improve their relationship with the people around them.
Yahoo.com Parenting shared some resolutions for families with children in 2016. These involve helping your children search the digital world responsibly, productively, and safely. According to the site, young children should be thought more on how to explore the digital devices that are available to them.
Instead of just using these gadgets for entertainment, show them that these are not just for playing games. Teach the kids that they can send messages in email, look for facts about their favorites and even use a map. Parents can also teach them how to use a calculator. These can make them more knowledgeable in the digital technology and not only focusing in playing games.
Another advice from Common Sense Media is to utilize the devices to enhance the relationships of parents with their children. One example of this is sharing your phone's camera roll or Faced Timing with Grandma or other family members or friends.
Set an example to be a media critic to your child. Let your children think deeply about the game or shows they are watching or books they are reading. You may ask them "Who write this book?" "What is he trying to convey?" or "Who made this?"
Make use of the creative apps that are downloaded in your children's gadgets. You may start an online scrapbook or let your children draw objects in some art and drawing apps or gather favorite things on Pin Interest. Teach them also how to make a video and how to use the slide. These things can develop the skills of your children. Lastly, instill to your children that they have to put away their gadgets during family time. By setting an example, your children would learn the value of family time.
