Ukuba ii-GPs zisibuze imibuzo yobuzali kuhlolo lwethu lonyaka, kukhuselekile ukuthi ixesha lesikrini liya kuba sesinye sezihloko ezinokuthi zikhuthaze i-bluff (inyaniso enesiqingatha, eyona nto ingcono). Kodwa xa kufikwa kwiintlobo zemithombo yeendaba ukusuka kweyona ilungileyo ukuya kokubi, imidlalo yevidiyo ithelekiswa njani nomboniso wabantwana oqhelekileyo? Ngaba olu nxibelelwano alunampilo ngendalo ebantwaneni, okanye ngaba luqhelekile kunendlela engeyongozi—mhlawumbi ide ibe luncedo—indlela yothethathethwano? Inyaniso isenokuvakala iqhelekile, njengoko isesinye esisebenza kwizigqibo ezininzi ezahlukeneyo zobuzali: Enoba imidlalo yevidiyo inempembelelo embi okanye eyakhayo ixhomekeke kwizinto ezininzi, ubuncinci bubuntu bomntwana ekuthethwa ngaye.
Oko kuthethiweyo, xa kufikwa ekufezekiseni loo ndlela ilungeleleneyo yobuzali sonke esiyilwelayo, ulwazi ngamandla. Qhubeka ufunda ukuze ufumane ezinye iinkozo zobulumko koomama abathathu, umntu ofikisayo kunye nogqirha wengqondo yezonyango UGqr. Bethany Cook —bonke banento abayithethayo ngabantwana abadlala imidlalo yevidiyo. Umfanekiso opheleleyo unokukunceda ukuba ufikelele kwisigqibo sakho.
Bathini Oomama
Lo mzobo awunakuphikiswa, kodwa bavakalelwa njani abazali ngale ndlela yokuzonwabisa ibe yinxalenye yobomi bemihla ngemihla babantwana babo? Sabuza oomama abathathu—uLaura (umama kumntwana oneminyaka esi-7 ubudala), uDenise (unina wabantwana ababini, oneminyaka esi-8 neli-10 ubudala) noAddy (umama kumntwana oneminyaka eli-14 ubudala) ukuba bame phi na. Nantsi into ababeyithetha.
Q: Ngaba uyayibona into enokwenzeka yokuthatheka (oko kukuthi, utyekelo lokukhobokisa) ukukhula malunga nokudlala imidlalo yevidiyo? Ngaba ubudlelwane obunempilo kunye nesixhobo bunokwenzeka?
ULaura: Ndingathi unyana wam unobudlelwane obuhle obunempilo kunye nemidlalo yevidiyo. Asizange sijongane nayo nayiphi na ingqumbo yomsindo xa ilixesha lokuyeka ukudlala ... kwaye ucela iTV rhoqo kunemidlalo yevidiyo, ngokwenene.
UDenise: Ngokuqinisekileyo ndicinga ukuba imidlalo yevidiyo yenzelwe abantwana abangamakhoboka. Umzekelo, abantwana bam bathanda ukudlala enye ebizwa ngokuba zii-Roadblocks, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba umdlalo uyabavuza [ngamabhaso, amanqaku, njalo njalo] ngokudlala ngakumbi.
U-Addy: Unyana wam oneminyaka eli-14 ubudala uyawuthanda kakhulu lo moya. Njengomama oxakekileyo ongatshatanga, kulula ukulibala ukuba iiyure ziye zadlula kunye naye ucofa icofa apho. Ndizama ukuqonda ukuba kulula kangakanani ukuba ingqondo yolutsha, engekaqini, iqeqeshelwe ukuchitha ixesha elininzi eqongeni. Kwaye ndingalindeli ngokupheleleyo ukuba umntwana wam osemngciphekweni akwazi ukuxhathisa eyedwa into eye yavela kakhulu, inzame yeshishini elikhulu lokumbambisa-kuba impendulo yam yokuqala kusetyenziso lomdlalo wevidiyo okhobokisayo nguwe. Uyenzile. INTONI?
Q: Zeziphi ezinye izinto ezikuxhalabisayo ngabantwana abadlala imidlalo yevidiyo kunye nohlobo lovuselelo abalunikezayo?
ULaura: Kukho into yokuba ... nje ngoko uvuselelo oluninzi, umvuzo okhawulezayo-ukwaneliseka kwangoko-kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndinexhala malunga noko kuba ikude kakhulu kwinyani. Siphinde sidlale imidlalo ethile enzima, ukuze ndibone ukuphoxeka. Ndivakalelwa kukuba kukho ithuba lokusebenzisa ezo mvakalelo, kodwa ukuba besingayazi indlela yokumxhasa, ndiyayibona indlela enokuba ngamava angathandekiyo ngokweemvakalelo.
UDenise: Ngokuqinisekileyo andiwuthandi ulwaneliseko olukhawulezileyo olubandakanyekayo. Uninzi lwemidlalo lubandakanya ukusebenzisa imali ukuthenga izinto kwaye ndiziva ndinexhala ngabantwana abanolo hlobo lwamava okuthengiselana besebancinci. Ngokubanzi, ndicinga ukuba imidlalo yevidiyo ingcolisa ngakumbi ubuchopho xa kuthelekiswa nemiboniso yeTV.
Addy: Ngenene kuye kwafuneka ndifunde indlela enzima yokubeka imida, kwaye luthethathethwano oluqhubekayo. Ekuqaleni kwe-COVID, umzekelo, xa wonke umntu wayejongana namaxhala ethu ixesha elininzi, ndafumanisa ukuba... umrhumo wokuqala. Emva koko, ndiye ndathatha imidlalo yakhe yevidiyo iinyanga, kwaye ngoku ubuyela kuyo. Kufuneka kubekho isincamathelisi sesilumkiso kwiibhokisi zomdlalo wevidiyo: Abazali abaninzi abazi ukuba imidlalo yevidiyo emininzi, ngaphandle kokuba uphumile, vumela umdlali asebenzise ikhadi letyala (abalifunayo xa beqala ukudlala ngomrhumo oqhelekileyo) yenza ukuthenga okongeziweyo kwi-app. Ngokumalunga nokuziphatha, ndiye ndaqaphela xa edlala imidlalo yevidiyo ngaphandle kokunqumama, uyacaphuka kwaye aphelelwe ngumonde.
Umbuzo: Ngaba ubeke nayiphi na imigaqo malunga nexesha elichithwe udlala imidlalo yevidiyo, okanye ngaba ufumana abantwana bakho bezilawula ngokufanelekileyo?
ULaura: Imithetho yethu kukuba [unyana wam] unokudlala kuphela imizuzu engama-30 ukuya kwengama-45 ngosuku ukuba udlala yedwa. Kananjalo asimvumeli ukuba adlale kwi-intanethi ukuze angaze asebenzisane nabanye abantu ngelixa edlala ... sivakalelwa kukuba kukho umngcipheko wokhuseleko oluninzi ngaloo nto. Ekubeni simvumela ukuba adlale ixesha elifutshane, siyamxelela ukuba ayicime ngaphambi kokuba azenzele ngokwakhe ... kodwa andiziva ngathi ugxininisa kakhulu kwimidlalo.
UDenise: Sithembele kwizibali-xesha ezibonwayo ukuze abantwana bazi xa ilixesha lokuyeka ukudlala. Iinkqubo zikwayinto enkulu xa kufikwa kulawulo lwexesha abalichitha kwimidlalo yevidiyo.
Addy: Xa [unyana wam] efumana ikhonsoli entsha yomdlalo wevidiyo yeKrisimesi, ndiza kuyilawula nge Isangqa , uhlobo lwesitshixo sokubulala endinokusisebenzisa ukucima izixhobo zakhe zombane ndikude. Andiqinisekanga ukuba imithetho yam iza kuba yintoni kwixesha elizayo, ndisebenza nomqeqeshi wabazali ukuphuhlisa imigaqo malunga namabanga kunye nemisebenzi yokugcina kunye namalungelo omdlalo wevidiyo.
Q: Zeziphi izibonelelo ocinga ukuba imidlalo yevidiyo inokubonelela ngayo, ukuba ikhona?
ULaura: Ndiziva ngathi kukho izibonelelo malunga nokudlala imidlalo. Imidlalo esiyidlalayo ibandakanya ukusombulula iingxaki ezininzi, impumelelo kwiinjongo. Ndicinga ukuba ilungile ngokwenene ukulungelelaniswa kwamehlo-udlala imidlalo yentenetya. Kwaye kukho ukwenza izigqibo: Kumdlalo wePokémon kufuneka athathe isigqibo malunga nendlela yokusebenzisa amanqaku akhe ukuthenga izixhobo kunye nokukhathalela iPokémon yakhe. Ndikwathanda ukuba inxibelelana kancinci kunomabonakude.
UDenise: Abantwana bam badlala nabahlobo ukuze basebenzise incoko ngelixa bedlala, kwaye ndicinga ukuba imeko yoluntu ngokubanzi yinto entle, ngakumbi ngexesha lobhubhani xa wonke umntu ephoswa yile nto. Abantwana bam ababini badlala imidlalo kunye [ngaxeshanye, kwizikrini ezahlukeneyo] kwaye oko kubonelela ngamava okusebenzisana phakathi kwabantakwenu.
UAddy: Ngokukodwa ngexesha lokuvalelwa, lincinci ithuba lokuba umntu okwishumi elivisayo ancokole, kwaye imidlalo yevidiyo yindlela amaqela abahlobo anokuthi anxibelelane ngayo ekude. Ngoko ke, yenze ukuba umntwana wam okwishumi elivisayo angabi likheswa. Yinxalenye yomphongolo wakhe wokuchitha ixesha kwi-intanethi kubandakanya i-app apho afumana ulutsha olungakhethiyo kwilizwe lonke ukuba luxoxisane ngezopolitiko kunye-kwaye umntwana wam undixelele malunga neencoko ebenazo nolunye ulutsha oluneembono ezahlukeneyo zezopolitiko, ngoko ndiyaqikelela ukuba kulungile?
Ukuthabatha koMtsha
Ngoko uthini okwishumi elivisayo xa ebuzwa imibuzo efanayo ngalo mbandela? Umlandeli womdlalo wevidiyo oneminyaka eli-14 esenze naye udliwano-ndlebe ukholelwa ukuba i-medium inokufundisa ngokuqinisekileyo, ecaphula i-Call of Duty njengomzekelo-umdlalo awuncoma ngokumfundisa okuninzi malunga noongameli bangaphambili kunye neziganeko ezithile zembali ezifana neMfazwe Yomlomo. Nangona kunjalo, xa ebuzwa ukuba imidlalo yevidiyo inamandla okuba yingxaki, akazange aphendule: i-100 yepesenti ewe, andikholelwa ukuba ibangela ubundlobongela kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo iyakhobokisa. Kwakhona wagqabaza ngobunzima bakhe bobuqu bokumodareyitha xa edlala kwixesha elidlulileyo—amava ngokungathandabuzekiyo azisa uluvo lwakhe lokuba abazali bafanele babeke imida yexesha: Iiyure ezintathu ngosuku kubantwana abaneminyaka eyi-14 nangaphezulu, nabangaphantsi kwelo xesha, iyure enye ngosuku.
Imbono yobuNgcali
Okubangel 'umdla kukuba, imeko yesayikholoji yengqondo ihambelana ngeendlela ezininzi kwiimbono zabazali kunye nomntwana esithethe naye. Kanye njengenkoliso yezinto zobomi, imidlalo yevidiyo inokuba mihle okanye ibe mibi, utsho uGqr. Cook. Oko kuthethiweyo, ukungathathi hlangothi kwakhe kuza ne-caveat ebalulekileyo: Abazali kufuneka balumke ngobundlobongela kwimidlalo yevidiyo, njengoko olu hlobo lomxholo lunokubangela ubuthathaka, isiphumo apho abantwana baye banciphe ngokweemvakalelo kuvuselelo olubi okanye oluphikisayo. Ngamanye amazwi, ukuba ufuna umntwana wakho aqaphele izinto ezimanyumnyezi ukuba ziyintoni na, qiniseka ukuba izinto ezinjalo azibonakali rhoqo kwimidlalo yevidiyo ukuba ibe yinto eqhelekileyo.
Ngaphandle koko, uDkt Cook uqinisekisa ukuba amandla okuba likhoboka lokwenene: ingqondo yomntu ifakwe kwintambo yokunqwenela uxhulumaniso, ukwaneliseka kwangoko, amava okukhawuleza kunye nokungaqiniseki; bobane banelisekile kwimidlalo yevidiyo. Waba yintoni umphumo? Ukudlala imidlalo yevidiyo kukhukula iziko lobuchopho nge-dopamine-amava amnandi ngokungathandabuzekiyo anokwenza uninzi lwabantu lufune ngakumbi. Nangona kunjalo, imidlalo yevidiyo akufuneki ibhalwe njengolunye uhlobo lwechiza eliyingozi ekufuneka liphetshwe ngazo zonke iindleko. Ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo lomdlalo umntwana wakho anxibelelana nawo, umdlalo ophakathi unokutyebisa. NgoGqr. Cook, imidlalo yevidiyo inokuba negalelo ekuphuculeni ulungelelwaniso, ingqalelo kunye nokugxila, izakhono zokusombulula iingxaki, ukuqonda kwe-visuospatial, ukunyuka kwesantya sokusebenza, ukuphuculwa kwememori, kwezinye iimeko ukuqina komzimba kwaye kunokuba ngumthombo omkhulu wokufunda.
Okukwintsusa? Imidlalo yevidiyo ibhegi edibeneyo-ngoko ukuba uthatha isigqibo sokuvumela umntwana wakho ukuba ayidlale, lungele ukuthatha okubi ngokulungileyo (kwaye ubeke imida eqinile ukuze uphakamise izikali ukuya ekugqibeleni).
