“Parents, we have a problem. Each time we play less with our children. And when we do, we are more aware of the mobile than the game. And so you don't play. ” Thus begins the 'meñifiesto' of Cayro de Games, in an awareness campaign called #JuegaConTusHijos.
It is about enhancing the game between parents and children when the latter demand it (because sometimes they will want to play freely with their friends). And to call attention to the number of times the first 'disconnect' of their children to devote to review instant messages on the mobile (added to all the distractions that cause to be pending notifications on twitter, or comments on other social networks) . It is a striking and very funny action, based on an observation, is it true that if you do not use the pinkies, the smarphone falls to the ground? Well, those of Cayro have focused on that. The free 'application' that is downloaded from its website, consists of some rubber bands to immobilize those fingers, so that - even if we wanted to - we could not pick up our phone.
Now seriously: Children need more attention than our virtual friends, surely more than once you have thought about it. And surely other times you have justified yourself: 'it is not so much time that I dedicate'; but it is because they are 60 minutes a day computed in about 150 times interrupting activities. And much of that time is not dedicated to really important things (because when we have to say something to a friend inexcusably, we will look for a good time and call to hear his voice, which is an added value).
The 'meñifiesto' includes points like (you will see how they are very right):
Children when they play they have much funnier occurrences than the photos that friends send you. And you know.
Hahahaha they cool a lot more when your children do them live than when they write them to you in a message.
The best technology you can give your children is called "a little while with you."
The main excuse for not playing with children is that "I don't have time", which shows that not playing makes you have no imagination to invent excuses.
There is no app that gives the hugs your daughter gives.
If you take a day without a mobile phone than a day without seeing your children, we have a problem.
Children who don't play today they are the elders that will make tomorrow a more boring world.
You don't need toys to play. To play you need to want to play. And your children's favorite game is with you.
Let's say it clearly, current communications through technology, or rather a significant proportion of them, they have a fairly absurd component that adds nothing to personal relationships. But what about the children? What do they learn with this? In a few years you can put yourself in his place (although late, the truth) when you become teenagers, hold conversations by whatsapp (or any of the others) instead of telling you the things of the 'insti'.
Children will be happier if your presence at their side is not only physical ... that's for sure. You add up? “Smart phones vs smart kids. The game starts"
