Turn your son into a genius ... Turn off the TV. The Blog

When I heard makes ñ Madonna you do not let your children watch TV, I thought "go pretentious hypocrite." I always thought that watching television when you're a no ñ or used to improve your education. "Who can forget series as it was once the Man"?

For many, our knowledge of Henry VIII or of the Catholic Kings, comes or has been modified by
documentaries and films we've seen ... So, when
my daughter Agnes came to this world for 8 to ñ os, we were delighted to discover the wonderful world of children's television 12 hours a day.

Recalling information excessively long hours, and the few moments of animated drawings
we had in childhood, we were delighted that our daughter could enjoy
an offer as wide.
Besides all this, Inés can enjoy the miracle of DVD, allowing you to see
all Disney movies during a weekend at home, rather than wait for a
ñ you to rerun "101 Dalmatians" during school holidays. By working the two, we think that Agnes needed to make the TV company ñ ed.
Teletubbies The brothers were virtual. And we needed him to see the TV to
have moments of rest. Agnes has never slept a whole night through, and since I had a
to ñ or after waking up several times, gets up at 5 in the ma ñ ana with full batteries. But it seems we were not alone. Studies show that neither ñ our country you pass in front of a television or a computer 4 hours a day, which
spend almost 3 hours watching TV.

This study shows that television stations increasingly are used as ñ or electronic eras. I must confess I took the quilt to the living room, put on a DVD, and stealing naps of 30 seconds, while she was engrossed with their favorite movies.

any head was better than sleeping, and if she saw design programs ñ ated by national television to educate our children, everyone would benefit. We could not be more wrong.

It was not until two ñ os, when I read that the Australian government and recommended that ñ Children under two to ñ you do not they saw on TV, and two to five ñ os, one hour daily maximum. By then, Ines and I was in college.

While news of Australia, I was terrified, I did not realize the relationship between the lack of school success Agnes, and the enormous amount of hours of television that had been exposed since neither ñ a.

During its first three to ñ school years, we think that her grades could be explained by the second or ñ a younger class, compounded by an unfortunate second course, which had 5 different teachers in the same subject.

again have hope in their third course, when Agnes had a particularly brilliant teacher, whom she adored. But when his notes come at the end of the course, the results were still terrible.

I nés was far behind in the reading level of your class, your grammar was terrible, and almost never finish their homework. We were shattered and desconcertados.Ya know all parents think that our children are wonderful, but I'm sure that Agnes is not stupid.
has a great capacity for observation, is fun and has lots of vocabulary for their age.

The granproblema, as we realized was that I could not concentrate on anything. When my sister gave her a cross stitch kit for the summer holidays, Agnes lost all their enthusiasm in a mere two minutes. At that time we turned on the light bulb.

Inés has attention deficit disorder. Once we realized what was wrong, many things made sense. Every time I brought friends home, and had started a craft project, which ended with enthusiasm, but Agnes had left a few minutes to do cartwheels, playing the piano at three minute intervals, or run around the house. He also explained why, to the dismay of her mother writer, had never finished a book. I searched the Internet, and found all the information.

All tests on the effects of excessive television development and ñ years. A 2004 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics described it clearly: "The Early television exposure is associated with attention problems when they reach 7 to ñ years of age." There was, in my computer screen, written by the highest authorities: too much TV when I was little to ñ had fried my brain or ñ a.

In that moment of desperation, someone lent me the wonderful book "The brain transforms itself
" by Canadian Dr. Norman Doidge. Here, we explore the concept of "neuroplasticity," which suggests that the brain can change constantly. Dr. Doidge gave me hope that he could "desfreir" brain de Inés, con sólo frenar el consumo de televisión. Pero, ¿ cómo hacerlo sin que parezca un castigo?

Después de preguntar a otros padres, me sorprendió saber cuántos de ellos ya tenían restricciones sobre la televisión. Una familia había eliminado la televisión por completo. Habían acordado ver alguna película de vez en cuando, pero nada más. Por cierto, este es el sistema que sigue Madonna.

Para otras familias, sólo se podía ver la tele después de las 6 de la tarde, o sólo se podía ver TV an hour a day, whether television, Internet, or video games. Began to decrease hours of television during the Christmas holidays. Four weeks later, we got just saw on TV an hour a day, besides the occasional DVD that we saw the family. L or talked to Agnes, and I was surprised how eager to try, even though it took effort and sacrifice on my part. I had to find time to play with it, when normally I would have gone to my room to dive into Twitter or Facebook, while she looked for a television program. Best of all, I also enjoy it.

cook together, play board games, do puzzles, and we have not hooked a children's card games. In fact, it reminds me of my childhood, when we had to suffer more blackouts because of a faulty electrical network, the whole family got together to play cards in the light of a lantern. A particularly happy memories for me. By the way, Inés read book on their own, and until the end. And finally, the news we expected. Just a couple of weeks after the Christmas holidays, when I spoke to one of his teachers and said "I do not know what you've done
with Agnes, but totally changed. Today has been fantastic during the class, has not been distracted for a moment. " The story was repeated with all teachers, to your tutor was to me at the school gate, " Inés is not ñ to new! Will also studies that I will put it in a more advanced class. I do not know what you've done, but it works "

And to think all the effort that had to do was give a button ... to turn off the television.
