Children should be addicted to online classes at home

Hu Xinhong

Recently, the citizens of Shengde (pseudonym) family from Sihong County, Jiangsu, are very worried. It turned out that the 400,000 yuan he used to sell his house to repay his debt was played by the "bear boy" at home to play gifts, play online games, and finally only 0.23 yuan was left on his bank card.

In response to the need to fight the epidemic, online education has been carried out in various places, and some scammers took the opportunity to target primary and secondary school students in online classes, so that many primary and secondary school students were deceived. According to a notice issued by the Fuyang District Bureau of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau on March 11, 32 students in the district suffered online fraud in just one month, an increase of 146% compared to 13 cases in the same period last year, including the youngest 7 years old. The maximum amount of cheated is more than 70,000 yuan.

Home-based anti-epidemic online classes must not be used by scammers. To this end, the public has called for strengthening education on fraud prevention for children. Of course, online education requires a good "anti-fraud course", but it is even more important to take an anti-addiction course. A typical example is a "bear kid" who spends 400,000 yuan on home gifts.

The situation is more than just one. An 8-year-old "bear boy" in Guangyuan, Sichuan Province, used his father's mobile phone to take online lessons. He played games while his family was not paying attention, and recharged the game. Mr. Hu of Jiangbei, Chongqing suddenly found that his bank card more than 10,000 yuan was gone. Checking WeChat payment records and seeing that the full screen is all about buying game coupons, he knew that it was his 12-year-old child.

"Bear Kids" live streaming gifts and playing online games is a problem that usually exists, and large-scale online education has given them more and more opportunities to enlarge it and present it to the public. In particular, some rural children whose parents are not under the supervision of their grandparents are more likely to be addicted to it. A few 400,000 yuan "bear kids" were swiped, and the bank card was obtained under the grandmother's eyelids, and the password and "brush face" verification were also obtained.

To fully implement online teaching, you need to be careful not to let your child take the opportunity to play games. The relevant departments have clearly reminded them when they started "suspending classes without stopping school". Unfortunately, due to many factors, anti-addiction education is still not satisfactory. Based on the special circumstances of home study, apart from reminders, it is difficult for schools and teachers to make effective efforts. Parents will undoubtedly shoulder more responsibilities. For example, parents can turn on the teen mode, and try to prevent minors from knowing the payment password of the third-party payment platform, so as to avoid unauthorized consumption.

Teenagers are addicted to games, often in the absence of family life, parent-child interaction, and absence of family supervision. How to prevent addiction, in addition to technical supervision, parents need to show more care to their children, communicate more with children on equal terms, care more about their physical and mental growth, and accompany children to participate in rich extra-curricular activities and let them know the game The vast world beyond. It ’s better to be sparse, go deeper into the child ’s inner world, and understand what they think and think so that guidance can be effective.

In the long holiday period brought by the epidemic, how to do online education to prevent addiction has tested all aspects of wisdom. Fundamentally speaking, the key to online education to prevent online games from taking advantage of lies in correcting children's values ​​and cultivating children's ability to learn and manage independently. With correct cognition and a firm spirit of self-discipline, naturally will not be easily addicted or rewarded. On the other hand, even if we guard against death, I'm afraid we can't prevent it.
