Experts identify five main reasons that, in their opinion, prompt children to spoil or break toys.

Not all of them are considered harmless and not all of them can be explained by curiosity or a desire to learn more about how everything works inside.

Doesn't live up to expectations

Here the scenario is something like this: children can expect that instead of a broken toy they will be bought a new one.

Therefore, they try to get rid of what they don’t like, even in barbaric ways.

Time spent watching TV or playing on gadgets can make a child aggressive.

In this case, the child will vent his discontent, irritation and anger on toys.

Curiosity
