It’s not easy to talk with teens about their relationship with screens.
Open with a discussion of young children’s tech use
Rather than asking teens to put down iPads, introduce a discussion on babies’ tech use.
Admit your tech problems
One of my students wrote that she would like to prevent the whole family from using tech facilities. Clearly, someone in her home was having some tech use problems.
Keep a balanced opinion
We adults wouldn’t be able to live in today’s society without screens, so we shouldn’t expect teenagers to do so either.
Deal with the topic like you would nutrition (营养)
If children weren’t making good food choices, we would never take their lunches away and make them stay hungry. We would teach them how to eat healthy and help them learn to set new habits:
A.The same should go for technology. |
B.Technology isn’t a bad habit to be got out of. |
C.This will invite teens to talk about the subject. |
D.Teens need face-to-face communication with adults. |
E.One of teens’ fears is that we’ll take their devices away. |
F.So we need to be open about our own tech habits as well. |
G.Here are a few ways that will make the discussion easier and more productive. |
People have probably observed that their stress levels can rise due to a lack of typical psychological (精神的) breaks they get in workplaces. Walking to the tea room to make a cup of coffee, stopping for a chat with one of your colleagues or discussing your plan with your leaders will help you. All of those actions are actually giving our brains an opportunity to recharge.
The workplace banter (打趣) could be worn out when you’re employed from home. The psychological breaks, however, are vital to maintain your stress at the lowest level, so attempt to copy these mini-breaks at home. Besides, you need a proper schedule for yourself. Otherwise, things go against your wishes. For example, one of my friends devoted herself to her business, ignoring her family and her own health. Though she has achieved a lot in her business, now she is in poor health and has a broken home and good-for-nothing children.
One of the toughest issues about working from home is setting boundaries. People tend to overwork at home because they often confuse work and home life. You can reasonably end working at a fixed time and have time to get along with your family members. If you begin the day by bearing this in your thoughts, it’s completely possible for you to stick to it.
At home, you can do a spot of gardening or take a slow relaxing walk within your yard to help increase your memory and overcome depression. Even doing some arts and crafts, reading an ebook or baking a cake may also help. Anyway, you need to take yourself away from the computer screen for a superb couple of hours every day.
As the saying puts it, “Sharpening your knife won’t waste your time for cutting your firewood.” You have good psychological breaks while working from home. Your working efficiency will be improved. Besides, you’ll manage and lessen your stress and create a good family relationship.

Are your children liked by their teachers? All parents want their children to impress their teachers and succeed in school. You can get your children to impress their teachers by following these easy steps.
Make sure they’re prepared. Teachers are impressed by children coming to school prepared to learn. Make sure they have everything they need—pencils, textbooks, erasers and so on.
Require them to be active in class. Teach them to ask teachers questions when they don’t understand something, some children think teachers are bothered by questions, but most teachers are impressed when children take the initiative(采取主动) in asking questions.

Keep your children healthy. If your children are tired and hungry, they won’t be ready to learn. Children need at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night. Feed your children a solid breakfast and prepare a healthy lunch. Provide them with fruit and other healthy foods—apples or bananas are better for them than cookies.
