Children's age is changing in the digital era. Once the children of the ages played with lego, now they are playing I pad.
There are many benefits of busy parents in children's addiction to digital devices like Eye Pad.
The feeling of responding to the delivery of digital equipment may be rattling, but what is the need to have fine muscle control for writing?
Sally Peyin, a leading specialist in children's therapy in England, observed that the digital era children have lost those skills.
He told the British daily Guardian that when the children are given pencil after entering the school, they can not catch it properly, because they do not have the basic skills needed to use them.
"It takes strong control over the hand muscles of the fingers to use the pencil to turn it around. It requires a lot of practice and opportunity to achieve that skill."
Penn said that having the opportunity to use digital tabs and smart phones, the ability to grab pens or pencils in children and the use of it is drastically reduced.
He said the ability of the children to use the muscles in the use of such type of toy, rope or elastic tactile block is made of blocks. "It does not happen using the i-Pad".
In the UK, more than half of the households have digital tablets and at least 76 percent of smartphones in the family as Offcom of the communications sector.
Dr. Jane Madewell works with an organization that works for the handwriting. He said that the presence of digital devices in the house is increasing, the use of pencils in children is decreasing.
"Once upon a time the children saw their parents writing papers on the pen, now they see parents are texting on the mobile phone, as a result the children's first education system has changed."
However, he said that while the use of the tab, the ability to rotate the muscles of the finger is broken at one point, it may not have been there yet.
"There has been no research that says that if a tab is used by a child, only a finger scratcher is created and he will lose the ability to hold the pencil." However, he said that the importance of writing hands is immense.
A study in 2016 shows that all students write lecture notes in their hands, they can remember them very well and their ideas are very clean. Those who take notes on the computer or tab can write a lot, but they can not remember later.
Especially for children, the importance of hand writing is a lot. "Writing a letter in hand, complicated use of fingers, children have to do a lot of exercise for them, and children get knowledge through them".
Researchers are divided on the importance of hand writing, but the fact is that the handwriting is decreasing.
In one study in 2014, a three-and-a-half-year-old adult population did not write anything for six months.
However, the handwriting is still essential in the education world. Many things to write from the primary school to British to the university are still written in hand.
But as the previous day, it's going to say that the move of writing words by adding letters to the curly letters in a beautiful way.
Dr. Maidwell says that the good handwriting is not an issue, but the real thing - holding handwriting skills, if it is wasted, then the risk of childhood learning can also be hindered.
