I don’t know if the current parents have a similar experience. Whenever I’m walking on the street, when I see some children holding their phones and talking to their parents about certain short video sites, I can’t help but feel a chill behind my back. , Walk around them, for fear that they will suddenly imitate some strange behavior in the video...
Admittedly, my prejudice is a little bit heavier, but it is just for the sake of self-safety. After all, the child is Innocent and lively, their little heads are innocent, and a whim does not mean that they are not kind.
I just think that besides choosing to forgive, it is better not to give them a chance at the beginning, and to approach them carelessly. Therefore, even if I heard a child watching a video on the bus, I would stand farther away silently. If I saw it on the train, I couldn’t sleep peacefully. I needed to keep an eye on those who need to be close to myself for a few hours. Little ancestors, afraid that they suddenly jump up and throw things at me.
When I found out that I had this mentality of avoiding it, I couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Children are innocent and innocent. In Tagore’s poems, they are flowers that go to school. They come and get together one after another. People will feel happy when they see it. Why do they become like this? Are there monsters that need me to avoid?
But the reality is embarrassing: On August 22, 2019, two girls imitated a short video to make popcorn with a can at home. One of them had a body burn of 13%, and the other had a severe burn all over the body. The burn area reached 96% and he finally passed away at 11 am on September 5.
As for the various cases in the past, it is also shocking. A 6-year-old child imitated the video and stuck himself into the wall, but was finally rescued by 119; the child who imitated the video used a knife to chop something and hurt himself ; There is a child who imitated the "tape sticking door" game and hurt his younger brother ……
Does the child understand what he is doing?
Don’t understand.
When faced with the topic of "imitating video", many of us always think very contemptuously, "How can imitate it? It seems dangerous. "Fools do it", but it turns out that even if most people see it as dangerous behavior, many adults imitate it.
For example, some parents take their children to imitate "The child bends over and stretches his hands from the middle of his legs, and the adult grabs the child’s hand and lifts the child 180 degrees. In the action of turning over, pulling up and holding in his arms, there are reports that a father in in Wuhan lost his hand while turning his daughter over, and the child’s head hit the ground and his spine was severely damaged.
Adults are like this, let alone children?
So, if adults are rational, are children "sensible"? Still the same answer-I don't understand.
The negligence of many of us on child safety education stems from the lack of a clear understanding of the child’s situation.
We all know that children grow up under the careful care of their parents from 0-6 years of age. In this process, most "reliable" parents will pay attention to the safety of their children since childhood, and Try to avoid children from contact with sharp objects, prohibit children from climbing on high places, etc., especially for children's small toys, for fear that they will put them in their mouths and eat them without paying attention.
Therefore, when children enter the childhood stage of 6-12 years old, they actually do not have an accurate understanding of "danger". They only rely on their animal instincts to avoid "danger". And intuition, as well as the habit of many years under the education of parents.
When a child opens a short and interesting short video, he is like opening a new world. The child will not feel the danger of the behavior in the video for the first time, but his own desire to explore And curiosity wasIt was greatly aroused, and my heart was excited and impulsive, and I immediately wanted to try.
-However, this attempt seems to have no price in their eyes.
2. Why are children not afraid of
Why are children not afraid of the safety hazards in these short videos? Are the children really not aware of it? Are they afraid of failure and injury after watching these videos? This is the question that can be asked from the perspective of an adult.
The thrilling actions of the short video appear to most children of 6, 7 or even 10 years old, the degree of danger is far less real than the excitement.
1. Because I don’t understand, it’s true.
When we watch a "thrilling" short video, we can intuitively feel how such a video brings people To stimulate the sense-they are all perfect cases of successful shooting, no matter how dangerous the behavior, such as "wrong use of alcohol lamp, directly heating the Erlenmeyer flask, regardless of the bacteria on the inner wall of the bulb, directly used to make coffee, use alcohol lamp barbecue "Regardless of whether these behaviors are wrong in theory or how unworkable in practice, the video has undergone editing, selection of raw materials (removal of failure cases), and even fraudulent means (posing of the processed final product) Wait, to convey to the viewer "Just follow this, you can get such perfect results."
And the authors of these videos, never know to give their videos with "dangerous behavior, do not imitate" tips.
Why do children trust and practice to imitate? Because everything in this video, judging from the child's shallow experience, it is too real . As if as long as you do this, you will definitely succeed.
Why do some adults imitate these dangerous videos like children? It is precisely because they have the same lack of knowledge or experience, even if they feel a little danger as adults, but because these "tall" videos look so organized, the "theories and steps" are presented. Then the head is right, just like punching and kicking in the blind spots of these children and adults, isn't that "I don't read many books anyway, what you say is what you say"?
2. Like magic, first deprive your senses
"Deprivation of the senses" here is not a sophisticated theory, the way it is displayed in the short video is also very simple— -It is precisely because everything in the video is "sealed" on the phone screen.
In other words, if this dangerous action is done by the "old irons" in front of you, the strange noises made by the props in the "fun to death", or the wrong use experiment The dangerous smoke and strange smell produced by the props are all displayed in front of you. It is estimated that if you lend your children ten courage, they dare not try it by themselves.
Many of the post-production videos we see will make "better" adjustments to the sound and picture in the video, not to mention those because The part that fails and encounters danger will never be released to children.
The short video needs "success". Only "success" can contrast sharply with "thrilling excitement", will it have great appeal and increase "click-through rate".
We can find that many short videos that have not been post-production are played with super-volume "Popular Divine Comedies", and the movement seems to be heard across ten streets. And when people are watching such short videos, the brain’s attention is partially distracted. Even if you stare at the screen, the brain still needs to process sound information, and people are more in the process of watching it. It is easy to feel tired.
When the brain feels fatigued, vigilance and rational analysis ability, reaction ability, etc.When the brain processes the information transmitted by the video, it is easier to think that the content of the video is "credible, normal, and not dangerous."
Not to mention that many children’s entertainment is very poor. When they see an interesting video, they will watch it over and over again, and it’s fun to repeat the process of watching it. In the middle, the brain will gradually improve the degree of adaptation, even if you watch something that feels "a bit scared" once, watch it a few times and laugh a lot, it becomes the source of "I can".
Having said that, I would like to know if there is any way to make all parents prohibit their children from using short videos? Wouldn't it be better for you to do a documentary? Is the big dinosaur not cute or the little tiger is not beautiful? You want to watch the short video?
