电子游戏和代沟

(2011-06-01 15:18:22) 下一个

最近我家老大迷上了一种重金属的band,好像咆哮体的摇滚乐,弄得家里不得安宁,他一放这个我就恨不能马上给他关掉或者躲出去。他自己说听这个特别励志,歌词或者优美或者气壮山河,还自己学唱这种发声方法,把我烦得够呛。 

里面有一句歌词意思好像是真正的peaceful 是经过 struggle才得来的,挺有哲理的。所以想要peaceful,还要先struggle 

男孩迷恋电子游戏 (女孩也爱DS什么的),恐怕是这个时代对家长的很大挑战,尤其是漫长的暑假即将来临。严防严堵不是办法,而且还后患无穷。我的一个朋友的儿子去年上了Berkeley,他的roommate就整天抱着游戏白天黑夜地玩儿,经常逃课,好在人聪明,还能混个C了事。另一个在国内上大学的女孩也说,她宿舍里4个人,有一个整天玩电脑,晚上不睡觉,搅得其他3人不得安宁。这大都是上大学前家里管的太严了,好不容易解放了,就大玩特玩了。 

其实这也是个代沟的问题,想想我们小时候是不会想到有这种电游的乐趣和烦恼的。我们对电子游戏了解的比孩子们少得多。 

看过一篇分析,说明各种media对孩子(其实也包括大人)的影响,列表如下:

Media

Negatives

Positives

Television Shows (sitcoms, reality shows, docudramas)

Mindlessness

Superficiality

Distortion, such as fictionalized history, altered to reflect cultural or political bias; corrupt values portrayed as normal/acceptable

Draw on available time

Diversion to relieve stress

Information

Socialization, so a child can discuss shared experiences with other children; proper behavior portrayed

Television News Programs

Single-mindedness, or the absence of competing ideas

Brevity, regardless of complexity of issues

Designed for adults, so children can be overwhelmed by pessimism, horrors, challenges

Information

 

Video Games

Replay button, therefore able to ignore consequences

Detachment from reality

Draw on available time

Development of thinking

Stress reduction/entertainment

Coordination development

Opportunity to bond, play a game with your child is like “tossing the ball.”

Internet

Inappropriate information

Draw on available time

Information access

Potential for growth through exposure to other ideas, thoughts, systems, etc.

Opportunity to develop critical thinking in sorting through volume of information

Entertainment

IM’ing/E-mail

Draw on available time

Inappropriate reinforcement of negative ideas, concepts from friends

Social interaction

Information sharing

 

从中可以看出,Video gameInternet的优点方面是显而易见的,多了解一些,可以帮助我们站在孩子的角度考虑问题,从而不至于一看到孩子打游戏就头痛、焦虑,还可以帮他们更好地安排和选择。 

实际上,如果不是限制太多,孩子也会学会自我控制,这是最理想的结果。
