5 things a child should do beyond the screen

Click follow ✨

To receive skills for children. 😊

📱 Children don't have to be "away from the screen" all the time.

But just as important is having time...

❤️ played with the family.

📚 heard the story.

🌳 went out to explore the real world.

💬 talked and questioned.

🧩 has done it yourself.

These simple moments are the basis of childhood learning, thinking, and development. 🌱

Research from WHO, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Harvard Center on the Developing Child suggests that play, talk, and interaction with adults play an important role in early childhood brain, language, and learning skills.

Because good growth is not caused by reducing the screen alone, but by increasing the "quality time."

In the real world.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ที่ได้สังเกตเด็ก ๆ รอบตัวและได้ลองทำกิจกรรมเหล่านี้จริง พบว่าการเปิดโอกาสให้เด็ก ๆ ได้เล่นกับพ่อแม่หรือผู้ปกครอง สร้างความสัมพันธ์ที่อบอุ่น และส่งเสริมการพัฒนาภาษาอย่างเห็นได้ชัด การเล่นด้วยกันช่วยให้เด็กเรียนรู้คำศัพท์ การสื่อสาร และเห็นความสำคัญของการทำงานร่วมกัน นอกจากนี้ การฟังนิทานก็เป็นอีกหนึ่งกิจกรรมที่ทำให้เด็กได้ฝึกทักษะการฟังและจินตนาการ บ่อยครั้งที่เด็กจะถามคำถามจากนิทานซึ่งช่วยกระตุ้นความคิดและการตั้งเหตุผลได้ดีมาก สำหรับการออกไปเล่นกลางแจ้ง เช่น การสำรวจธรรมชาติหรือเล่นที่สนามเด็กเล่น นอกจากจะช่วยให้เด็กได้เคลื่อนไหวร่างกายแล้ว ยังเป็นโอกาสให้เด็กสังเกตรายละเอียดรอบตัว ฝึกสมาธิและความคิดสร้างสรรค์ บทสนทนาในชีวิตประจำวันระหว่างเด็กกับผู้ใหญ่ ไม่จำเป็นต้องยาวหรือซับซ้อน แต่ความต่อเนื่องในการพูดคุยกันช่วยพัฒนาทักษะภาษาและสร้างความมั่นใจในการแสดงออกของเด็กได้ดี สุดท้าย การให้เด็กได้ลงมือทำกิจกรรมต่าง ๆ เช่น ระบายสี ต่อบล็อก จับคู่ หรือทำใบงาน จะช่วยสอนเรื่องสมาธิ การแก้ไขปัญหา และการคิดวิเคราะห์ ซึ่งเป็นพื้นฐานสำคัญของการเรียนรู้ในทุกด้าน โดยรวมแล้ว ไม่จำเป็นต้องเน้นเพียงแค่การลดเวลาหน้าจอ แต่ควรเน้นการสร้าง "เวลาคุณภาพ" ในโลกจริง ร่วมกับพ่อแม่และผู้ใหญ่ เพื่อเสริมสร้างพัฒนาการและเติบโตอย่างสมดุลของเด็กในทุกมิติ

The first slide introduces the topic: "What 'too much screen time' can look like in behavior." It states that these signs are often unexpected and easy to miss, encouraging readers to swipe to learn more about child development and screen time effects.
The second slide explains why screen time matters, detailing how screens affect developing brains. It highlights dopamine spikes, the still-forming prefrontal cortex, and clarifies that behaviors are signals of a dysregulated nervous system, not character flaws.
The third slide describes Sign #1: Intense meltdowns when screens turn off. It explains this as a nervous system crash due to dopamine withdrawal and suggests giving a 5-minute warning and transitioning to active play.
