Addictive things often have the characteristics of numbing pain, forgetting troubles, and making people indulge unconsciously.
For example, most electronic products that children like, certain games or activities, or even eating. Many times, children cannot quit "addiction" because the pain or troubles behind it cannot be dealt with.
If children do not play, eat or do anything, they will feel overwhelmed by worries and anxiety, and they have no way to solve and face them, so they cannot control their addictive behaviors.
Therefore, if you want to get rid of the control of children's addictive behaviors, relying solely on parents' tough control and orders often has little effect. The key is that parents must see the reasons behind their children's addiction and obsession.
The best way to help children get rid of addiction and obsession is to cultivate good habits of self-discipline in children from an early age and help them build internal motivation and self-management ability.
The following are some picture books that can help children get rid of addictive behaviors and build good habits of self-discipline.
Clocks and More Clocks
This book has a very bright and humorous style. The author is the American picture book writer Pete Haggins, who created the famous picture book "Hen Rose Goes for a Walk". In the story, Mr. Jin has four clocks at home, and the time is different. But the watchmaker said that every watch is fine. Why is that? The story seems simple, but it has a little suspense and interesting reasoning.
The painting style is simple and beautiful. When reading, it can remind children why the time of each clock of Mr. Jin is different, and why the watchmaker said that Mr. Jin's clocks are very accurate. By guiding children to think and understand the story, children can understand the meaning of time and have a better concept of how to plan and manage their own time.

This book deeply analyzes the connotation of self-discipline, the role of self-discipline in different stages of life, the process of its effect and specific manifestations, and emphasizes the important role of strengthening willpower in improving self-discipline. What is self-discipline? Self-discipline is to manage yourself well. Sometimes, you need others to remind you. Sometimes, you can also be a role model for others. Self-discipline, start now.
The content of the book is also mostly short sentences. Through some practical examples in life, children can understand that self-discipline starts with small things, and paying attention to small things in life is the first step to develop good habits of self-discipline. Let children understand the big theme of "self-discipline" more simply.
See You Later, Alligator
This picture book is a puppet book. It tells the daily life of a little crocodile and an alligator. In the story, the little crocodile always has endless housework to do, and the alligator is always too busy to help. When and how can the alligator have time to play and work?
The story is vivid and interesting. It is simple but can make children deeply feel the importance of arranging time properly. It makes children understand that managing their time well can not only make their life orderly, but also give them time to play with friends and understand the combination of work and rest, instead of indulging in fun or worrying about study and homework.
Willy with Wimp
Willy in this story was always called a "coward" in the beginning, but he did not escape or give up on himself. Instead, he started exercising, eating nutritious meals, doing aerobic exercises, and learning boxing. His strong body helped Willy regain his confidence.
Willy, who is called a coward, is just like the children who often encounter setbacks in study and life and are scolded by their parents and teachers. This picture book teaches children to face these negative comments positively instead of choosing to escape. Don't indulge in the virtual world because of setbacks, and don't dare to face them. Instead, live positively and regain confidence. This is a kind of precious courage.
