Ukunikeza ingane yakho isikhathi sesikrini sokuyithulisa kungenza intukuthelo ibe KABI, ososayensi bayaxwayisa
- Ukugwema ukucasuka kwengane yakho ngesikhathi sesikrini kungase kuvele kubangele ukucasuka okukhulu
- Abazali akufanele basebenzise imidiya njengendlela eyinhloko yokulawula imizwelo yengane yabo
- Abacwaningi baseMelika basebenze nezingane ezisacathula phakathi kwesibili nezintathu nabazali bazo
- Izingane ezivame ukugcwala imidiya yedijithali zazinemizwa enzima lapho zisuswa
Ezivivinyweni, abacwaningi baseMelika babone izingane ezisacathula ezineminyaka emibili nemithathu ngemva kokuba ikhathuni ababeyibukele iphele ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
Abazali baphinde babuzwa imibuzo ngokuthi bathembela kangakanani ezintweni zika-elekthronikhi, okuhlanganisa ama-TV, ama-tablet, amafoni nama-video games, ukuze behlise umoya wengane yabo.
Ojahidada ababejwayele ukunikezwa izinto ze-elekthronikhi ukuze bavimbele ukucasuka babe nemizwelo eyeqisayo lapho bekhishwa, bathole ochwepheshe.
Nakuba ukuvumela ingane encane idlale ocingweni noma kuthebhulethi kubonakala kuyindlela engenabungozi yokuyiphazamisa lapho inzima, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lokhu kungenza ukusabela kube kubi kakhulu futhi kube kubi kakhulu lapho kususwa.
Abacwaningi beluleka abazali ukuthi kufanele bakugweme ukusebenzisa ama-smartphone namathebulethi njengesu labo eliyinhloko lokugwema ukucasuka okungaba amahloni endaweni yomphakathi.
'Abazali kufanele bagweme ukusebenzisa imidiya njengendlela eyinhloko yokulawula imizwelo yezingane zabo,' kusho umlobi ohamba phambili wocwaningo, u-Sarah M. Coyne e-Brigham Young University e-Utah.
'Lokhu kungase kuhlobane nokuthuthukiswa kwamasu emithombo yezindaba ayinkinga ngesikhathi sobuntwana.'
Abazali basebenzisa njalo imidiya ukuze basize ukulawula 'imizwa enzima' yengane yabo, ikakhulukazi lezo ezinomoya onzima kakhulu.
Kodwa-ke, alukho ucwaningo oluhlole ukuthi lokhu kungase kuhlotshaniswe kanjani nokuthuthukiswa kokusetshenziswa kwemidiya okuyinkinga ebuntwaneni.
A Ucwaningo lwango-2016 lwathola ukuthi abazali bavame ukusebenzisa imidiya njengendlela yokuthulisa noma ukuphazamisa izingane zabo ezincane lapho zithola imizwa enamandla.
Kodwa abazali abakhuthaza imidiya ukuze baphazamise izingane emizweni yazo kungase kube 'isu eliyingozi' futhi kungase kuholele ekusetshenzisweni okuyimpoqo kamuva ekuphileni, kusho abacwaningi baleli phepha elisha.
Ocwaningweni lwabo, basebenze nezingane ezisacathula ezingama-269 nabazali bazo ukuze baqoqe imininingwane ngezinto eziningi - isimo sengqondo, 'ukusetshenziswa kwemidiya okuyinkinga' kanye 'nokulawulwa kwemizwelo yabezindaba'.
Ukulawulwa kwemizwelo yemidiya empeleni kuyizinga abazali abavumela ngalo izingane zabo ukuthi zisebenzise imidiya ukuze zizithulise.
Ukuze bahlulele isimo sengqondo somntwana ngamunye, abazali bagcwalise uhlu lwemibuzo olulinganisa ukunemba kwezitatimende eziningi mayelana nengane yabo.
Imibuzo yayihlanganisa 'ngenkathi unenkinga yokuqedela umsebenzi, kukangaki ingane yakho icasuka kalula?'
Abazali baphinde babika 'ngokusebenzisa imidiya okuyinkinga kwezingane' - okuhlanganisa 'lapho ingane yami inosuku olubi, imidiya yesikrini ibonakala iwukuphela kwento eyisiza ukuba zizwe kangcono'.
Abazali basebenzisa njalo imidiya ukuze basize ukulawula imizwa enzima yengane yabo, ikakhulukazi lezo ezinomoya onzima kakhulu.
Ukulawulwa kwemizwa yemidiya, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kuklelisa izitatimende ezifana nokuthi 'uyinikeza kangaki ingane yakho umakhalekhukhwini, ithebhulethi, noma enye idivayisi yemidiya ukuyisiza ukuyigcina izolile uma ungaphandle komphakathi?'
Abacwaningi baphinde babona indlela ingane ngayinye esabela ngayo lapho isiqephu sochungechunge lwe-TV lwezingane lukaDaniel Tiger's Neighborhood simiswa kungazelelwe ngaphambi kokuba siphele.
Imiphumela yabonisa ukuthi amazinga aphezulu okulawula imizwelo yemidiya ayehlotshaniswa nokusetshenziswa kwemidiya okuluthayo kanye nemizwelo eyeqisayo lapho imidiya isuswa - njengezingane eziziphonsa phansi, ziklabalasa futhi zikhale.
Abazali bezingane ezisacathula ezikhungathekile noma ezinzima kungenzeka kakhulu bathembele kwabezindaba ukuze bagweme ukucasuka, nokudala okuthile komjikelezo we-viscous.
Abacwaningi baxwayisa ngokuthi ukusebenzisa imidiya esikhundleni sokubekela izingane ezisacathula eceleni nokufundisa izingane ezisacathula ukulawula imizwa eyinkinga kungase kuphazamise ikhono lengane lokufunda ukulawula imizwa yayo, okubalulekile kamuva ekuphileni.
Besebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokulandelela iso, ochwepheshe base-UK bathole ukuthi izingane ezisetshenziswa kakhulu isikrini sokuthinta nsuku zonke zazishesha ukubheka ezinye izinto lapho zivela ngaphakathi komugqa wazo esikrinini sekhompyutha.
Abakwazanga futhi ukumelana nokuphazamiseka uma kuqhathaniswa nezingane ezisacathula ezingenalo noma eliphansi lokusebenzisa isikrini esithintwayo, ukuhlola kutholakele.
Ngokuka-Ofcom, amaphesenti angama-63 ezinsana ezineminyaka emithathu kuya kwemine asebenzisa ithebhulethi ekhaya ngo-2019 - asuka kumaphesenti angama-28 ngo-2013.
Kukholakala ukuthi lesi sibalo sizobe sesikhuphukile ngenxa yemishini eminingi ekhaya, ngenxa yesidingo sokuhlala uxhumekile ngesikhathi sokuvalwa.
