THE ROLE OF TEACHERS AND PARENTS IN THE PREVENTION OF COMPUTER DEPENDENCE IN SCHOOLCHILDREN
The article discusses the role of teachers and parents in the prevention of computer addiction in schoolchildren. The author gives an analysis of the psychological and pedagogical literature, which considers this problem from the point of view of various scientists. The problem under study is that many parents forget that their child, due to age, needs constant, but accurate intervention and control over their leisure time, but few of them ask questions about the ways of his “digital” free time, about the benefits and harms of a particular game, about the content of the sites he visits. The author comes to the conclusion that teachers and parents should take preventive measures in the form of education or focusing their attention on other interesting activities in the real world. If this does not happen, and the younger student still shows signs of computer addiction, then teachers of different specialties should regularly maintain contact with their parents and work in the same bundle.
