Childrens are missing the pen in the Digital era!

Children's behavior is changing in the digital era. At one time the children of the age group used to play with Lego, now they play on i- Pad.

There are many benefits of busy parents in children's addiction to digital devices like i- Pad.

The feeling of responding to the delivery of digital equipment may be rattling, but what is the need to have fine muscle control for writing?

Sally Peyin, a leading specialist in children's therapy in England, observed that the digital era children have lost those skills.

He told the British daily Guardian that when the children are given pencil after entering the school, they can not catch it properly, because they do not have the basic skills needed to use them.

'The pencil takes a firm control over the fine muscles of the fingers to turn it around. It requires many exercises and opportunities to achieve that skill'.

Miss Penn said that having the opportunity to use digital tabs and smart phones, the ability to grab pens or pencils in children and use them was drastically reduced.

He said that the ability to use children's muscles in the use of such toys, such as building blocks, ropes, or elastic straps are made of blocks. 'It does not happen using the i-Pad'.

In the UK, more than half of the households have digital tablets and at least 76 percent of smartphones in the family as Offcom of the communications sector.

Dyan Madewell works with an organization that is campaigning for hand writing.

He said that the presence of digital devices in the house is increasing, the use of pencils in children is decreasing.

"Once upon a time the children saw their parents writing papers on the pen, now they see parents are texting on mobile phones. As a result, the education system of children has changed.

However, he said that there is still no time to say that the ability to rotate the finger muscles on the tab once was lost.

'There has not been any research that says that if a tab is used by a child, only finger scratches are created and he will lose his ability to catch pencil'. However, he said, the importance of writing in hand is immense.

A study in 2016 shows that all students write lecture notes in their hands, they can remember them a lot later and their ideas are very clean. Those who take notes on the computer or tab can write a lot but can not remember later.

Especially for children, the importance of handwriting is a lot. 'Writing a letter in hand, complicated use of fingers, children have to do a lot of exercise for them, and children get knowledge through them'.

Researchers are divided on the importance of hand writing, but the fact is that the handwriting is decreasing.

In one study in 2014, a three-and-a-half-year-old adult population did not write anything for six months.

However, handwriting is still essential in the education world. From British to elementary school to university, many students still have to write their hands.

But as the previous day, it's going to say that the move of writing words by adding letters to the curly letters in a beautiful way.

Dr. Maidwell says that the good handwriting is not an issue, but the main thing - holding handwriting skills, if it is wasted, then the education of children is at stake.
