Parents with children should be familiar with toys. Sometimes they even quarrel with their children about toys. Some family members think that playing with toys will distract their children and make them not study hard, while some parents think that toys are helpful to their children's intellectual development, so they still have to buy new toys for their children from time to time.
So how many toys will have an impact on children's future? Through research, American psychologists found that children with more toys and less toys have a big gap when they grow up.
Case study:
As a full-time treasure mother, Ms. Li is very concerned about the growth of her children. Therefore, in order to make children have no regrets in their childhood, she often buys some toys for them. Unconsciously, the number of toys is increasing. However, this is not a good phenomenon, because children buy too many toys, but bring other negative factors to children.
For example, every time a child likes the new and dislikes the old, or is unwilling to clean up the toys after playing, which also gives Ms. Li a headache. Finally, she realizes that buying so many toys for a child does not help the child grow up, but does harm to the child's growth.
Because there is a big gap between the children and other children nowadays, for example, they are loose and distracted, or they are not very responsible. Therefore, Ms. Li decided to put away the children's toys, and she is no longer willing to buy toys for the children.
So, why do American psychologists say that there is a big gap between "more toys" and "less toys" children when they grow up? In fact, it has something to do with these reasons. Parents should not be careless.
How does the number of toys affect children?
1： Children tend to develop a loose and irresponsible attitude
Children's patience is very limited, so most children in the face of large and scattered toys, may not be able to clean up the toys. If such a state is maintained for a long time, it may lead to children's loose and irresponsible, which is very harmful to the development of children's sense of responsibility and attitude.
2： It's not easy to focus
Children's attention is easy to be distracted, so they need to be highly focused when they are young. If children have too many toys, they will be unable to focus on one toy because they don't know what kind of toys to play with, and eventually they will be distracted and unable to focus on one thing.
3： Children know how to use the value of things
If there are only two or three toys for children, then children will know how to play the value of one thing, because for them, they usually can not play much, so they have to rack their brains to play more toys.
And the opportunity to think and develop in this way can help them be willing to make use of the value of things, not just to develop the performance of things.
4： It's easy to be enthusiastic and persistent about one thing
Three minute heat is a headache for many parents. If children have too many toys, it's easy to play with other toys, and they can't keep a long interest in one toy. Therefore, if a child focuses on one toy, it can make him keep enthusiasm and perseverance for one thing for a longer time, and the child will be more successful.
When parents know that the number of toys will have an impact on their children, they should buy the right toys for their children, because if there are too many toys, they can bring lifelong benefits to their children.
How should parents buy toys for their children?
1. Develop educational toys
There are many toys on the market that focus on children's intellectual development, and such games are generally like building blocks, jigsaw puzzles or other toys that can help children develop their brain power. Parents can choose the right toys to play for their children.
But remember, this kind of toy should interact with children more, so as to help children get started with toys faster, and at the same time, it can play the role of intellectual development in the toy playing process.
2. Toys of family wine type
For example, mini toys that can help children learn how to cook and tidy up furniture, or set meal toys for some human shaped toys and furniture, can be classified as family wine games.
This kind of toys can cultivate children's empathy, expand their imagination, and help them improve their social skills. If it's cooking and furniture games, it can greatly improve their sense of responsibility.
3. Cultivate cooperative toys
The game of cultivating cooperation is actually a toy that can complete tasks with small partners, such as sports games such as football, basketball or badminton, or other toys that can be played at home and need two or more people to play together. These are all toys of cultivating cooperation.
This kind of toys can greatly improve children's EQ and social skills, which is very helpful for children's growth.
