Xa uSteve Jobs, umseki we-Apple, wabuzwa ukuba abantwana bakhe bacinga ntoni nge-iPhone, wathi, "Abayisebenzisi. Asiyivumeli ekhaya."

Leyo ayisiyompendulo engenacharacteristic yenkosi yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu. Nditsho nesikolo saseSilicon Valley phantse asinaso kwaphela ubuchwephesha obuphezulu. igama lakhe ngu Isikolo saseWaldorf kwiPeninsula kwaye asizivumeli ii-iPhones, ii-iPads, iikhompyutha, njl njl. Esi sikolo sithi i-75 pesenti yabazali babafundi baso ngabaphathi kwiinkampani zobugcisa obuphezulu.

Yintoni malunga nezikrini abanye babavelisi abacebileyo behlabathi abafuni ukuba abantwana babo bavezwe?

Kuthiwa umprofeti uSamuweli weza endlwini kaYese ukuze athambise ukumkani olandelayo wakwaSirayeli. Wafika, wajonga abafana abasixhenxe ababeziinzwana, wababona bonke bekufanelekela ukulawula. Kodwa wayengenaye lowo wayekhethwe nguThixo engqondweni.

“Kuba iNkosi ayiboni into ayibonayo umntu; ngokuba umntu ukhangela umphandle, uYehova ukhangela intliziyo.” ( 1 Samuweli 16,7:XNUMX ) UYehova ukhangela imbonakalo yangaphandle.

Yintoni eyaxhobisa uDavide ngaphezu kwabantakwabo ukukhokela? Iinkcukacha ezikule ngxelo zibonisa ukuba wachitha ixesha elininzi kwindalo, enyamekela izilwanyana yaye ephucula ubuchule bakhe bokuqamba iingoma.

UEllen White, oye wabhala ngokubanzi ngezona ndlela zibalaseleyo zokukhulisa abantwana, wathi ngombandela wokwakhiwa kweempawu eParadesi: “Owona msebenzi uluncedo kuphuhliso kukunyanyekelwa kwezityalo nezilwanyana.Education, 43)

UMhlophe ukwabeka ingcamango engqongqo yokuba “ukususela kwiminyaka esibhozo ukuya kwelishumi ekuphela kwegumbi lokufundela labantwana elifanele libe kwindawo evulekileyo, phakathi kweentyatyambo ezidubulayo kunye nembonakalo entle yendalo. Ubuncwane beNdalo kufuneka ibe yincwadi yakho kuphela.« (IMfundo yamaKristu, 8)

Ukukhathalela izityalo kunye nezilwanyana kunye nokuchitha ixesha ngaphandle kuvakala njengenguqu kwihlabathi eligcwele izinto zokudlala zobugcisa. Yintoni ethandabuzekayo malunga nezikrini?

"Emva kokusebenza kunye namakhulu eziyobisi ze-heroin kunye ne-crystal meth addicts, ndingatsho ukuba ukunyanga umlutha we-heroin kulula kunokuphatha umlutha wesikrini," kusho uNicholas Kardaras, umbhali we AbaKhanyayo abantwana: Njani umlutha weSkrini uqweqwedisa abantwana bethu.

I-Kadaras yenye yeengcali eziphezulu zokulutha e-US. Kwincwadi yakhe, ucacisa ngokweenkcukacha indlela ukusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji enyanzelekileyo kunye nokukhotyokiswa kwezikrini kunokuba yingozi ngokwengqondo ekukhuleni kwengqondo yomntwana njengokukhotyokiswa ziziyobisi. Ngophando olubanzi, izilingo zeklinikhi ezinamakhoboka esikrini, kunye namava onyango lwezinye izikhoboki ezahlukeneyo, umbhali uphonononge inyani ephazamisayo yokuba abantwana "bayonakalisa kakhulu ubuchule babo" ngokuvula rhoqo izixhobo zabo.

Njengabazali abaza kuba ngabazali okanye abo baye baba ngabazali, loo mgca wokugqibela ufanele usenze sihlale phantsi size siphawule. Ngaba kusenokwenzeka ukuba ukuba phambi kwesikrini ebudeni baloo minyaka yokukhula kudodobalisa isakhono sokuphila somntwana? Impendulo ngokucacileyo nguewe.

Kutheni ubuchule bokuyila bubaluleke kangaka? Uphononongo olwenziwe yiYunivesithi yaseOxford uqikeleloukuba ama-47 eepesenti emisebenzi asemngciphekweni wokunyamalala ngenxa yomatshini wokuzenzela kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini izayo. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba abantwana bethu babe nethuba lokukhuphisana kwihlabathi elisebenzayo okanye ubuncinane ithuba lokusinda kunye nempumelelo kwiminyaka ezayo. Ukuba i-automation isongela isiqingatha semisebenzi yethu, bubuphi ubuchule obunokwahlula ngokuqinisekileyo kumndilili? UMark Cuban, usomashishini waseMelika kunye nosozigidi ukholelwa ukuba "abaqeshi kungekudala baya kuzingela abaviwa abagqwesileyo ekucingeni nasekucingeni nzulu" (2).

Ukukhulisa abantwana akulula kweli hlabathi lanamhlanje. Xa iimfuno zobomi zisiza kuthi macala onke, kuyavakala ukunika umntwana i-smartphone okanye ithebhulethi ukubagcina bexakekile. Kuthekani ngemidlalo yevidiyo, umzekelo? Ngaba siyazi ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni ebuchotsheni bolutsha?

Nangona kunjalo, ngemidlalo yevidiyo, umntwana uhlala kwaye adlale ukulwa-okanye-ukubhabha iiyure ekugqibeleni kunye nokukhawuleza kwe-adrenaline. Akulunganga oku. Uphando lubonise ukuba isizukulwana samva nje semidlalo sonyusa kakhulu amanqanaba e-dopamine. I-Dopamine yi-neurotransmitter edlala indima ephambili kwiindlela ze-neurological zolonwabo kunye nomvuzo, nakuyo yonke into enxulumene nokulutha. Uphononongo lubonise ukuba imidlalo yevidiyo yonyusa amanqanaba e-dopamine njengesondo kwaye phantse njenge-cocaine. Le combo ye-adrenaline kunye ne-dopamine yimpambano ephindwe kabini ekhobokisayo.« (3)

Sonke siyazi kakuhle le meko. Umntwana uncanyathiselwe kakhulu kwiscreen okanye kwimidlalo yakhe kangangokuba angathanda ukuhlala kwihlabathi lenyani kunokonwabela ilizwe lokwenyani. “Isizathu sokuba le mpembelelo ibe nkulu ebantwaneni kunabantu abadala—nangona sonke sibazi abantu abadala abaninzi abangamakhoboka esikrini—kukuba abantwana abakabi nayo incam yangaphambili ekhule ngokupheleleyo, inxalenye yengqondo enoxanduva ngezenzo zethu, izigqibo zethu. kunye neempembelelo zethu." (4)

Iingcali ze-neuropsychologists zanamhlanje zibona i-lobe engaphambili njengesihluzo kunye neziko lomyalelo elithatha isigqibo malunga nembono yethu yehlabathi kunye nendlela esohlula ngayo okulungileyo kokubi. Ikwayisihlalo soBukrelekrele bethu boMvakalelo. Uphando luye lwafumanisa ukuba le nxalenye yobuchopho ayiphuhli kude kube kwisiqingatha sokuqala se-5 kwaye ukuphuhliswa kwayo akugqitywa kude kube phakathi ukuya ekupheleni kwe-XNUMX. (XNUMX)

Okubangela umdla, kuba kuSirayeli wamandulo wawunokuba ngumbingeleli kuphela xa uneminyaka engama-30 ubudala.

"Uphando lubonisa ukuba ukusetyenziswa kweziyobisi kunye nokusetyenziswa ngokugqithisileyo kwesikrini yonakalisa i-lobe yangaphambili kwaye yehlise into engwevu kuloo ndawo yengqondo. Imidlalo evuselela kakhulu yi-whammy ephindwe kabini: ayipheleli nje ekukhobokeni, kodwa umlutha uzenzela ngokwawo ngokuchaphazela inxalenye yengqondo ethintela ukungangxami kunye nokukhuthaza ukwenziwa kwezigqibo ezilungileyo.« (6)

Ngokufuthi iZibhalo zibhekisela ebunzi. Ngaba uThixo ubeka itywina lakhe okanye uphawu apho, okanye uLusifa uphawu lwakhe. Oku kuyinyani ngakumbi kwi-prefrontal cortex (i-forebrain). Sisihlalo sokugweba, isimilo nesimilo, kunye nobuchule bokuyila kunye nokucinga okuphangaleleyo.

“Abantwana bakaThixo batywinwe emabunzini abo,” wabhala uEllen White. "Akusilo itywina okanye umqondiso onokuthi ubonwe, kodwa ingqondo kunye neyomoya ukuzinza enyanisweni ukuze kungabikho nto inokuyishukumisa."maranatha, 201)

Sibeka onke amathemba ethu kwisizukulwana esilandelayo ukuba sidlulise intonga yethemba. Masihlale sisenza izinto ezintsha kangangoko sinako, nokuba oko kuthetha ukubuyela kwikamva.
