Parents surrender to technology – Diário do Grande ABC

Tablets, smartphones, next-generation computers, digital televisions and even cars panels. It is no use running away. Wherever you look, there it is: technology. Today more democratic, it ceased to be exclusively for young people to be part of the lives of parents this hyper-connected generation.

The manager of St. Bernard Humberto Dotto, 54, is a true aficionado by theme. Interested in science and technological developments since childhood, he now does not open cellular hand, notebook, tablet, PS3, applications, cloud file storage, wi-fi connectivity in the car, social media and plasma TV. Passion can be considered almost an addiction. “I had to get ” disconnect ” ” ”. Earlier, in peace, because he was on vacation, but after a few days, anxiety ran high and just reading e-mails and using the cell “says

Engineering student of Father Bruno, 27, he says that the son pulled the he like the for innovation and technology contributed, inclusive, so that the two narrowed ties. “I served to close in once again from him in the transition to adolescence, creating a common point in a language he understood.”

The technology also helped the businessman Luiz Carlos Soares, 59, and Michelly daughter, 27, the nearer to each other. Earlier this year, the engineer moved from St. Bernard to Germany to study. There were three months of longing, but became bearable with a “helping hand” of the Internet. “During this period, we use Whatsapp and Facetime. Without these tools, it would have been a lot harder, since we would have to use the phone and tariffs would be costly. Rather than talk twice a day, would be twice a week at most, “he jokes.

The connectivity is not only present in the relationship between parents and grown children. Parents of children in general are even more connected, since they tend to be younger and need to be increasingly attuned to accompany this generation that was born just typing.

This is the case of consultant financial planning São Caetano Mark Romano, 30. Gabriella’s father, 3, he communicates daily with his daughter at Whatsapp. “She still can not read, therefore, we communicate by message and by some figures representing something to her, like games, bathing, sleeping, etc. Of course the mother cell, at least for now, “he says.

Even in live relationship, the technology is still present between Mark and Gabriella. “At home, as a parent I use some applications to interact with it. We use games to remember the importance of varied food and fun at the right time, for example. “

The analyst of St. Andrew’s systems Fabio da Silva Polo, 36, father of Raphael, 3, also has as allies Facetime and Whatsapp to kill the nostalgia of small. When the child is in high school, however, another tool comes into play. It is the Children queue without software, which works on all mobile platforms and is integrated with GPS. “If I say ‘I am coming’ ‘by the application, appears on school panel’ ‘the father of Rafael is five minutes away.’ ‘ So they (teachers) already let him ready to leave, I get there and have put him in the car. In addition to relieving traffic at the school gate, it makes children expect if parents linger. Even I, who work with computers 20 years ago, surprised by this news. “

Everything in excess is bad

 Overeating is bad. Drinking too much is bad. To sleep in excess is bad for your health. Why, then, the overuse of technology be any different? Experts said the tool itself, however, is neither good nor bad, but its use can become productive or harmful and generates a change of behavior in society.

“To not be a ” education for the use of new technologies’, we realized much of the population using them in a manner that causes many conflicts for relations, “argues Rafael Dutra, psychologist and educator, specialist in School and Educational Psychology of the USCS (City University of São Caetano do Sul).

According to Professor Juliana Martinez Pieroni, professor of Graduate Studies in Strategic Management of People and Organizational Psychology Umesp (Methodist University of São Paulo), addiction to technology is not exclusive to children or youth. “Parents start to neglect their children’s education ” for lack of time ” because what’s left in the day to day use to be with the technology over to be with the children.”

Furthermore, in the same way that the tools of today can keep people away, it is also possible to do the opposite. “The advantages of being more connected parents have to do with the fact that this allows them to be more inside the world of their children, how to follow school news and topics related to their interests. You can send a Whatsapp’s time for school break wondering how was the test, have some errands, or even a funny video to strengthen ties, demonstrate that you are thinking of the son, who is participating in his life, but not in person “says Dutra.

Parents models

It’s easy to find videos of children that not learned to speak, but I know how a smarphone or small that They are disappointed to swipe the magazine to change the page like a tablet. It seems that they have been born with such skill that the adult takes time to acquire.

“It is very important that parents are aware of examples of behaviors transmitted to their children, because they are being observed and interpreted by them, serving as models of values ​​and references to be followed. It is important to avoid situations of ” do what I say, but do not do what I do, ” Juliana said.

 But what is the limit of technology in family relationships? “Speaking limits is always delicate because each family has its own dynamics, but it is important that they exist and are always clear and well defined.”

If the parent who break the barriers, for example, post a picture embarrassing in any social network, the child needs to position. “It is important that the family create with your children a space for dialogue and constant improvement of conflict resolution. It is important for children to take a stand, saying how they feel in the face of embarrassing situations and feel they have a familiar space that allows him to feel at ease for this exhibition, but also to take care that in their own threads do not expose their own parents ” concludes Professor of the Methodist.
