孩子們使用媒體時如何獲得最大效益?

The family that plays video games together stays together. When parents become digital mentors, children can learn empathy and resilience and prepare for careers. From NPR's Life Kit, Here are four ways to make media work for your children.

一起玩電子游戲的家庭是團(tuán)結(jié)的。當(dāng)父母成為數(shù)字向?qū)r，孩子們可以學(xué)習(xí)同理心和適應(yīng)力，為職業(yè)生涯做好準(zhǔn)備。美國國家公共電臺的《生活工具箱》欄目，為你的孩子帶來的四種發(fā)揮媒體效益的方法。

1. Whenever possible, share screens with your kids.

盡可能與孩子分享屏幕。

With the littlest kids, treat screens like a picture book. As they get older, bond over movie nights and video game time, and talk with them about what they're playing and watching solo. Prompt them to reflect on the positive lessons and the negative messages they're getting — a process called "active mediation," which helps you connect with your kids and helps them become more media savvy.

對于最小的孩子，把屏幕當(dāng)成一本圖畫書。隨著他們年齡的增長，通過晚上看電影和電子游戲跟孩子聯(lián)系在一起，并和他們談?wù)撍麄冏约赫谕媸裁春涂词裁?。鼓勵他們反思他們得到的積極的教訓(xùn)和消極的信息——這個過程被稱為“積極調(diào)解”，它可以幫助你和你的孩子建立聯(lián)系，并幫助他們更加了解媒體。

2. Balancing screen use is about much more than time.、

平衡屏幕的使用不僅僅是時間的問題。

Rather than focusing on controlling the amount of time a child is clocking on screens each day, look at the overall balance of the child's day. Is your child getting enough sleep? Are you managing screen-free family meals? Are there any behavior problems? And make sure media time is balanced among consumption, creation and connection — such as video chatting with the grandparents.

與其專注于控制孩子每天盯著屏幕的時間，不如關(guān)注孩子一天的總體平衡。你的孩子睡眠充足嗎?你組織過無屏幕家庭聚餐嗎？行為上有什么問題嗎?確保媒體時間在消費、創(chuàng)造和聯(lián)系之間得到平衡——比如與祖父母視頻聊天。

3. Check the content presented on the screen

對屏幕呈現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容把關(guān)

Most popular children's apps are bogged down with ads. Autoplay can lead to some inappropriate content. Be the guardian when they're younger, and keep the conversation going to lay the foundation for kids to make wise media choices as they get older.

大多數(shù)受歡迎的兒童應(yīng)用程序都有廣告。自動播放可能會導(dǎo)致一些不合適的內(nèi)容。當(dāng)孩子還小的時候，監(jiān)護(hù)他們并保持談話，為孩子長大后明智地選擇媒體打下基礎(chǔ)。

4. Look for what's positive about kids' screen time so you can help those positive things grow.

看看孩子們的屏幕時間有哪些積極的方面，為此你可以幫助這些積極方面發(fā)展下去

We don't get far as parents if we always condemn our kids' interests. Help them find safe, positive outlets.

如果我們總是譴責(zé)孩子的興趣，我們作為父母就不會走得太遠(yuǎn)。幫助他們找到安全、積極的渠道。

Consider that video games might help your child engage with reading — and that reading fiction about a pop band might be a way to connect with others.

想想看，電子游戲可能會幫助你的孩子閱讀，而讀一本關(guān)于流行樂隊的小說可能是一種與他人聯(lián)系的方式。
