Hello guys, its another time to write a blog here in this community.This is one thing that had happened this past few days as the kids used to stay at home.
The kids nowadays are usually exposed in gadgets, social media and any other online games that kids are usually doing. As a mother, I feel worried everytime my kids are playing their gadgets. This few days, its our kids semestral break for 1 week. From the time they wake up, they usually hold their phones.
But, recently, I observed have started to learned how to draw, she used her gadget to search some tutorial in you tube and make her own version of artwork. I was happy about, instead of viewing videos, she's now on her drawing book.
This is her drawing tonight as she finished it, she's very excited to show it to us. She said it's an island with coconut. By the way, she used to practice the coconut for two days now, and it's just tonight that she did it. If you flip the phone, you can see the drawing of her brother, they had a competition who did a nice art with island and coconut. But, I don't choose any of them, I just take a photo, so that no one will get mad with the other.
This last photo is her practice time on how to draw with eyes of cartoon characters, which also takes time for her to make it.
So far, from my observation, I have observed that when kids spend more time with gadgets, they missed to lived like a normal child, who plays with their friends. They also become weak, because they lack with physical activities or exercise. When it comes to emotional aspect, they are easily get mad with their siblings, short tempered, and even had a different way of talking to their friends by using the language that they heard online.
How pitiful it is, that the kids life was turned fast as the gadget has developed their minds with the trend of this world. At a very young age, they cannot tolerate mistake and fault with friends, they lose the ability to be patient. This is how did the technology affects them, by thinking as if things just happen so instantly.
As a parent, I am very much concern with how did their life gonna be, when they just go with the flow in this season of thier life and even in the coming age.
I hope that my children, will grow in a normal life like the way we are before when we we're still young. They need our guidance as an elder to show them and taught our young people on how to manage their life and time responsibly.
It's my desire that kids will play physically, like running, and other traditional games, and bathing in the rain, which can only happen at their young age of life.
My daughter's improvement with her art, might not be permanent, but I'm thankful and hoping that she will continue to keep herself distance from gadget,so that she can enjoy her life as a kid.
Live life with love.
