Why Children Shouldn't Be Buying Lots of Toys: Experts Reveal Surprising Reasons
12.05.2023 21:38
In most cases, even parents in poor families try to "overwhelm" their children with toys, so that at least the kids don't feel any need for this.
It is believed that this helps the child to have a good time and has a positive effect on his development.
As it turns out, this is not quite the right approach. On the contrary, children should have a relatively small number of toys.
What are the arguments for this approach?
Stimulating creativity
If children have a small selection of toys, they will start thinking about how to use their abilities to the maximum. The child will try to come up with more games with the existing set.
This is an extremely useful exercise for creativity, experts say.
Concentration
Not all adults know that an abundance of toys significantly weakens the ability to concentrate. In order to avoid this problem, it is enough to provide the child with 5 toys.
Thanks to this, children grow up more attentive and focused.
Good habits
Many modern adults surround themselves with things they don’t need at all simply because they have retained this habit since childhood.
If a child always has only the most necessary things at hand, this will greatly help him in the future.
Useful activities
If playing with the same set of toys on a regular basis becomes boring, the child begins to look for alternative leisure options.
Parents should prepare creative kits and fill the children's library with good literature.
