My son who is 14-year-old, loves internet so much, he has been sitting at his computer all day except school hours, surfing internet. I am really worried about his physical and mental health. Dose anyone has same experience? Dose anyone can share with us how he/she help the kids on this problem?

    孩子一定都有玩的天性,找到他户外活动的兴趣点,一定会有成效

    Children like playing, a nature way. To find his interest in outdoor activities must be helpful.

    是呀。现在的孩子和我们过去相比,室外活动真是少多了。电视,游戏,上网,占用了他们大多数课外活动时间。现在的孩子和朋友交往也大多是打电话,发电子信件,网上聊天。真是应该想些办法让孩子们多到室外活动。

    Yes. Nowadays, kids have less outdoor activity compare with our childhood. Television, electronic games, Internet, most of them occupy the time of extra-curricular activities. The children exchange ideas by phone, e-mail, online chatting with their friends. Really should think more and more ways for kids to go outdoor activities.

    在固定的时间安排喜欢的户外活动,或是体育运动,像楼主所说的建立一
    种条件反射,这样孩子就会自然形成一种习惯。

    Let the kid attend his favorite outdoor activities or sports at some time, like you said that establishing a kind of conditioned reflex, so he will form a good habit naturally.

    我的外孙以前也很优秀,现在也遇到类似问题!我请他好好总结一下,上学的主要任务完成的怎样?上网的目的首先要加深理解课堂老师讲的内容并予习下一节课的内容,提高课堂听课效率.

    My grandson was very good student before, now has encountered similar problems and I asked him to think about what is the main task of school and to use the Internet to deepen his understanding of what school teachers taught and prepare for the next class, in order to improve the efficiency of his study.

    您还这么关心孙子的教育,我很感动。相信您的孙子不会辜负您的希望。会成为一个优秀的好孩子。

    You care about your grandson’s education so much, I am very touched. I believe your grandson will be an excellent boy.

    One point from psychology about this is the kid has anxiety. Internet has a lot of content so that the kid is overwhelmed by that and forget his/her anxiety temporarily. That is why it is so hard to get rid of it.
    So, find some ways to let them release their anxiety is important.

    English is very welcome!
    Good point!Sometimes, I think it could be my fault, because I was focusing on working too much, did not pay enough attention on my son. Yes, let them reading a book and then discuss on it together. Enrolling him to a sports club……

    By the way, one of the goals of the website is to bring English, Chinese and Japanese speakers together and sharing ideas. I plan to translate comments to other two langauges, what do you think, Kathy?

    Too much time on the computer is a growing habit. The reality is that online communication and games are fun, and there are a limited supply on there. Internet play is the encouraged passive time in social groups and even in the schools. The best defense for a parent is to establish computer use rules and utilize a means for your child to succeed at them. You can read this article for more information if you would like:
