At the age of 3, I started online classes?"Small glasses" appears at a low age trend

As children's "touch screens" are getting younger and smaller, they are not uncommon for "small glasses" at the age of three or four and five or six. The Ministry of Education has issued guidelines to suggest that young children from 0 to 3 -year -olds disable mobile phones, computers and other video -type electronic products, and children aged 3 to 6 should also try to avoid contact and use. However, the reporter found that with the continuous broadening of the online class market, the trend of low aging online lessons is obvious. While exporting anxiety to parents, the impact of electronic products on children's vision cannot be ignored.

During the low age online, the eyes "can't afford to hurt"

Fun English Enlightenment Course, Children's Music Enlightenment Class, early teaching lessons at home ... As the summer comes, various children's lines on the Internet are hot, and many courses are "2 years old and can be available in 2 years." Advertisement such as 6 -year -old children's English.

According to data released by the National Health and Health Commission, the overall myopia rate of children and adolescents in my country in 2020 was 52.7%, an increase of 2.5 percentage points from the previous year. Experts believe that the phenomenon of myopia is worthy of vigilance. Li Lihua, director of the Tianjin Ophthalm Hospital Optics Center, said: "The age of myopia is increasing, and the time of" touch screen "is an important influencing factor." Teachers in a kindergarten in Beijing also told reporters that "the children in the former class occasionally occasionally the children of the big class occasionally There will be a condition of myopia. Now the students in the middle and even small classes have detected myopia. "

The online lesson is long, but there is no time to exercise

In order to protect young children's vision health, my country has issued a number of guidelines and opinions. The "Guiding Opinions on Evolving the Connection of Kindergarten and Primary Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education proposes to strictly control the time and frequency of children's use of electronic products, and the single use time should not exceed 15 minutes.

But in fact, most children's network lessons have obviously exceeded the recommended duration. The reporter dialed more than ten online lessons to consult and found that the mainstream online lesson is about the live broadcast or recording. The length is mostly between 15 minutes and 40 minutes. Some courses will rest once in the middle. "Children's vision is still developing, which has obviously exceeded the scope of children's vision." Li Lihua said.

Some online teachers admit that children in the Internet class are getting younger. In order to meet market demand, the institution began to develop children under the age of 3 last year. Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Education and Science, believes that the physical and mental development of children under the age of 6 has not reached the level of online teaching. Several teachers also believe that the learning effect of children under the age of 3 is not good.

Different from the popularity of the online lesson, children's exercise time is difficult to guarantee. The "Children's Adolescent Iopia Prevention and Control Light Action Work Plan (2021-2025)" jointly issued by the Ministry of Education, including the Ministry of Education, pointed out that strengthening physical education and extracurricular exercises, focusing on ensuring students' 1 -hour sports activity time every day and off -campus. Last October, the "Advanced Impice Prevention and Control Technical Guide (updated version)" released by the National Health and Health Commission in October once again clarified this requirement. However, the reporter randomly interviewed a number of parents and teachers that it was difficult to achieve.

Need to protect the health of children together

"The age of 0 to 6 is the critical period of children's vision development." Li Lihua emphasized that long -term use of electronic products and lack of outdoor activities may cause long -sighted reserves that consume children, causing myopia earlier.

Tan Sijie, director of the physical testing and sports prescription research center of Tianjin Institute of Physical Education, suggested that the time for children's outdoor aerobic exercise should be appropriately strengthened. "While improving the physique, aerobic exercise will play a positive role in alleviating eye muscle fatigue. Daning the sun will also promote the absorption of nutrients such as vitamin D and calcium. To a certain effect. "She suggested that children perform aerobic exercise such as balls and running and jumping. Children with young age can throw paper planes or sandbags.

Experts also emphasize that in addition to the impact of children's vision, sitting on the Internet for a long time and incorrect sitting posture, it is likely to affect children's spine health. At present, spine -side bending has become the third largest disease that endangers the health of children and adolescents in our country after obesity and myopia.

"The aging of the Internet lesson is not just harmful to children's body." Chu Zhaohui believes that too much pressure on children under 6 years of age may cause more growth and development problems. It is good for children's physical and mental health.
