Would you let your
kids wear watches? If you have to choose some thing between watches and
cellphones to award your kids, what’s your choice and why? See the answers
through the full article.
I know it might
be an odd question but I have to ask. Should kids wear watches? Different
people that come from different backgrounds may have different answers.
Watches, since their first introduction, have been defined as necessity of time
devices and ornaments of trend and fashion. My point that kids should wear
watches are based on the three aspects listed bellow.
Watches help kids to form a good habit. One of the
most valued characters that can determine a person’s credibility, personal
influence is his promise keeping ability. And that character is especially
reflected in the practice of keeping his time. A watch perfectly helps this by
reminding its wearer the time at the ease of a simple glance. Keeping a wrist
watch, one could probably never miss meetings or some other important
arrangements. Human are the creature of habits. To form a good time keeping
habit, one need to establish the principle from his childhood. I think put a
watch around a kid’s wrist is a not a bad idea to do. A watch serves not only
mere time device but also a symbol of mindset to keep his time.
Watches help parents save money and concerns otherwise
they will receive big figures phone bills and other issues caused. Years ago,
few people had cell phone. Today, walk outside and it seems like everyone has a
cell phone glued to their ears – including elementary school kids. Are this all
right? I mean give such a sophisticate device to a 10 years old or even less is
really reasonable? Apart from the phone abuse or lost issue, the physical hurt
of the early use of cell phone to a child has been reported. Cell phone causes
eye pain, poor eye sight and sleeplessness. Many children stay too late with
their cell, just text or talk with friends through their cell. Other potential
danger is still uncertain but surely it exist. I know the parental concerns of
safety. Their primary purposes of giving their kids a cell are keeping them in
touch when needed and calling emergencies. But we can not rely on a cell and
think nothing will happen to them and children also need independence to grow.
From my part, cell phones should not
give to kids until they can use them and understand well why they get them. As
to the fact of many parents choose cells as the presents to their kids, my
advice is save your money and the troubles by giving a watch instead!
A watch reflects history, fashion and the characters
of its wearer. Each type of watch has hundreds years of history, and own a
watch means own a piece of history. Tell your kids the history and culture
behind the watch when you give them one. Watch represent fashion. Watches have
been marketed as a trendy accessory or a gadget in a variety of designs and
colors. Though trend has nothing to do with kids, but they will find ones they
like. Also a watch can reflect the characters of its wearer. Choose a watch has
the proper type and style to your kids helps mode healthy and positive
characters.
