Parents havetrouble taking kids
一项为慈善机构“儿童行动”所作的调查发现,英国的许多父母发现让自己的孩子去做作业比让他们关掉手机、笔记本电脑或电视更容易。以下是 BBC 罗伯特•皮戈特的报道。
Action forChildren questioned 2,000 parents and found that almost a quarter struggledto restrict their children's screen time. In comparison, only about a fifthsaid they found it difficult to persuade children to eat healthily or goto bed on time. Homework was a problem for only one in ten parents.
Recent researchfrom Cambridge University found that long periods in front of a screen underminedchildren's performance in exams. An extra hour every day of screen time at theage of 14, correlated with a lower score at GCSE at the age of16, equivalent to two grades.
Action for Childrensaid unplugging youngsters from electronic devices was also important tobuild
strongrelationships with parents which made children better able to communicate withadults and less susceptible to bullying or abuse outside the home.
