09.07.2024 08:15
A child's desire to receive a new toy or other trinket as a gift should not go unnoticed.
It is not enough to explain to the child that there is no place to put the toys at home. Perhaps there is a problem that needs to be solved.
Experts explained why a child constantly asks for new toys and how to deal with it.
Reasons
1. There is an opinion that such behavior indicates the child’s desire to constantly have new sensations.
2. Perhaps the child is trying to attract attention and lacks parental love.
3. The problem may lie in the parents themselves, who have spoiled the child, fearing whims due to refusal.
How to fight
Firstly, it would not be a bad idea to establish and observe certain traditions in the family.
For example, when gifts are given on holidays and under other circumstances, but not because the child wanted a new toy.
Secondly, ask the child why he needed this particular toy and why the old similar one no longer suits him. This will help children begin to understand their desires.
Thirdly, try to start spending more time with your child playing or involve him in helping with housework. It is possible that he really does lack parental attention.
