How to guide children to play games correctly?

1. Game contract

First of all, how long did each game last? According to the age of the child, you can set the time to play games, relax on weekends, and of course take a proper rest in the middle. Second, when can I play games? For example, it is stipulated that games can be played after today's learning tasks, and the time can be stipulated according to some daily arrangements of children, so that normal study and life can not be affected by playing games. Third, abide by the agreement. After the conclusion of the agreement, it must be implemented in accordance with the agreement and may not be changed at will. For example, children say that I will play for two hours today, and I will not play tomorrow. This request is absolutely unacceptable, but if I don't call today, I will call for two hours tomorrow, and I can consider it without affecting other arrangements for tomorrow. In other words, you can apply for a debit card, but not a credit card.

Need to communicate with children and discuss with each other to complete. When communicating with children, parents must be calm and consider the problem from the child's point of view. The agreement reached through communication will convince the children, and the next step is of course implementation. Execution is also the key.

In fact, insisting on implementing the agreement is also a kind of cultivation of children's self-control.
