Impact of Buying Lots of Toys for Children

People’s economic conditions are better now, so when dealing with the matter of buying toys for their children, many parents are adhering to the "buy you can buy" point of view. After all, when most parents were young, because of economic reasons, I don’t have many toys, so I don’t want my children to live a childhood without toys like myself. This is how Alex's parents think, so in Alex's life, the most important thing is toys.

When I was a child, saw some baby toys and she was very happy, and when her mother saw toys that the baby was interested in, she would immediately buy them for Alex. Alex was also very happy holding the toys, and Alex's mother was naturally very pleased.

However, with the passage of time, Alex's attitude towards toys has changed. In the past, every time Alex got a toy, he would be happy for a long time, and he loved his toys very much, and a toy can be played with for a long time.

However, later, Alex was more inclined to "buying toys". After buying, Alex usually played once and stopped playing. It seems that he has lost interest in toys. What is even more puzzling is that if Alex Zhu saw similar toys outside, and Alex still had the desire to buy them. In fact, Alex's situation is a bad performance.

How will buying too many toys for my child affect my child?

It is true that parents want their children to have a good childhood, but parents sometimes have to pay attention to their own behavior. If they buy too many toys for their children, they may have some bad effects on their children.

Impact 1: Children don’t know how to cherish

Alex’s performance is very typical. In fact, in children’s minds, toys are cherished, but if parents often actively buy toys for their children, or too easily meet their children’s needs for buying toys, they will Cause children to have a habit of not cherishing toys. Because children feel that as long as they like it, they can get it, and it makes no difference whether to cherish it or not.

Once this habit is formed, it will directly affect the stability of the child's mindset, causing the child to become less cherished in all aspects, including material and emotional aspects, instead of just staying in toys.

Impact 2: Problems with children's values

If the child gets the toy too easily, it will cause the child to misunderstand the value of the toy and think that the value of the toy is very low. This is a kind of inertial thinking, whether it is an adult or a child, it will be easy to get, that is, the value is low.

However, because the child has not established the correct values, this situation will directly interfere with the formation of the child’s values, causing the child to have some incredible behaviors and ideas in the future. For example, the child will think that candy is more than a drone toy. Value, even using your own drone toys to exchange other people's candy, objectively, this value is very problematic.

Impact 3: Children's concentration is affected

If the child has too many toys, it will also have a great impact on the child's concentration. This is actually the aspect that has the greatest impact on children's personal abilities because concentration will affect children's future learning. This learning is not only in school cultural knowledge learning, but also in life experience learning, skill learning, and so on.

Why do too many toys affect children's concentration? In fact, when a child is faced with too many toys, it means that the child is faced with too many choices.

Children need to analyze various factors such as the playability of each toy one by one. However, due to the huge amount of information, the child’s processing ability is limited, and the time is tight due to the child’s patience, it may cause the child to stop before the analysis is complete. Start playing with toys.

However, in the process of playing, if the child analyzes a toy that is more playable, he may immediately abandon the toy he is already playing with and turn his attention to another toy, which will cause the child to be unable to concentrate on one or the other. Kind of toys, play with this and that, you can’t concentrate at all.

Of course, buying more toys will have a greater negative impact on children, but there are more toys, this is not the case. Compared with children who play with fewer toys, children who play with more toys will grow better.

How often does playing with toys affect children?

Can enhance the child's coordination ability

In the process of playing with toys, the child's various coordination abilities will be greatly enhanced, such as the child's hand-eye coordination, physical coordination, etc. This is because when playing with toys, the child needs to use his hands and brain frequently to strengthen his brain. Vitality improves the efficiency of collaboration between the brain and the body and integrates the balance between the limbs so that the child's coordination ability is comprehensively enhanced.

Can strengthen the child's intellectual development

When playing with toys, the child’s brain is in a more active state, and the child will continue to process the information on some toys, such as some building block toys, which will give the child a stronger exercise in logic and imagination.

Different toys have different intellectual stimulations for children, but they have one thing in common, which is to make the brain work more sensitively, improve the child's information processing speed and processing ability, which is to make the child smarter and develop the child's intelligence.

Exercise children's perceptual ability

In addition, when children play with some toys such as sound and light, color cards, the children's sense organs will be more intensely stimulated.

For example, some brightly colored cards or toys can promote the child's visual development, some light and sound toys can enhance the child's hearing development, and some fluffy toys can also increase the child's tactile sensitivity and so on.

Conclusion

It is not good for children to buy too many toys easily. Parents can try to delay gratification and control the number of similar toys so that children can play more instead of buying more.
