22.06.2023 00:01
Many moms and dads are familiar with this situation: they just managed to buy a new toy for their child, and it’s already broken.
Of course, it's very unpleasant: it turns out that the money was thrown to the wind. You want to scold the child for ruining a doll or a car.
And yet, there is no point in punishing your son or daughter. You need to act differently.
The first thing you need to do is to understand the reasons for this behavior of the baby.
Why does a child often break toys?
The most common reason is the baby's curiosity. He wants to know what the toy is made of and what is inside it.
By the way, there is nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, it is very good that the child becomes a "researcher".
Oddly enough, by breaking toys, a boy or girl gains certain knowledge and skills.
He finds out how the teddy bear got its particular shape and how the car moves.
But sometimes a child starts breaking toys because of stress or fear. Here we have a more complicated situation.
What should parents do?
If the appearance of a mountain of broken things is connected with the child's curiosity, then buy him those toys that are very easy to assemble or disassemble - without the need to break anything.
It is also worth telling the child how and from what toys are made. It makes sense to show the corresponding video. Having received the necessary information, the boy or girl will most likely no longer want to break their thing.
But if it’s a matter of emotions, then you may need the help of a specialist.
