– When we see that parents from the age of three give phones, tablets to their child so that he does not cry, in fact they do not play, do not communicate with the child, do not read fairy tales in the evening … Hence, many psychological questions and problems arise. Until the age of seven, psychological functions arise, and they are formed in the game, in communication with adults, with parents, with dad and mom. The same is true in the classroom, in elementary school,” the Minister of Education added.
A day earlier, Vladimir Medinsky, aide to the President of the Russian Federation, at the Moscow teachers’ council proposed to ban schoolchildren from using smartphones during classes as an experiment.
