Before the express delivery is suspended, parents want to buy a bunch of toys crazily, so that their children can not only play enough at home, but also give themselves a break. However, when you open your mobile phone and click on shopping You will find a dazzling array of toys on the APP, which is really dazzling and you don’t know where to start. Many parents browse for a long time and put a bunch of toys in the shopping cart, but they don’t know whether they are suitable for their children. Is it any good to them?

Today I will share with you how to choose toys suitable for children.

Before choosing the right toy, I would like to tell you some misunderstandings about buying toys. Although people now have rich material conditions, parents think that as long as their children like it, they can buy it for them, but if they buy it back, if the toy is not suitable It may even be harmful. Not only will it not bring joy to the child, it may also cause harm to him. Therefore, we must avoid the following misunderstandings before buying toys.

1. Don’t choose automated toys

In order to attract the attention of children and parents, today’s businesses will develop some very cool toys, such as some remote control cars, smart toys, etc. , but in fact, toys that are too automated can only play a viewing role for children, and cannot allow children to use their hands and brains to play.

These toys generally only require the child to press a button and then watch quietly. The child may think it is cool at first, but after a long time and watching it a few times, it is just like that, too Automated toys are easy for children to get bored of and then leave them idle, so parents are not recommended to buy these types of toys.

2. Don’t buy too many toys at one time

Virginia scholars in the United States believe that it is best to leave 5 toys for children. Less than 5 will cause children to have an inferiority complex, and more than 5 will cause children to have an inferiority complex. 5 will prevent children from focusing on playing with a toy and affect their creativity.

Many parents, especially elders, like to buy a bunch of toys for their children to show how much they love their children. In fact, there is nothing wrong with buying toys for their children. It doesn’t matter if you buy too many, but parents need to pay attention. The most important thing is, don’t put too many toys in front of your children at one time. Don’t play with some unopened toys until your children get tired of playing with them. It’s not too late to open them again.

Cathy Silva, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Oxford in the UK, believes that too many toys can easily distract children, and when children are not focused, they cannot learn or play better.

It is recommended that parents make appropriate choices for toys that are no longer suitable for their children's age, and do not pile them up blindly, as this will only distract their children.

3. Don’t choose toys that are not suitable for your child’s age

If you choose some toys that are difficult, the child will feel that they are too complex, too difficult, and beyond his ability. This will damage his self-confidence and make the child feel helpless and irritable.

If you choose some toys that are very difficult, the children will feel that these toys are too educational and will become boring and unchallenging after playing for a few times. Parents can check the appropriate age of the toys before buying them. Parents should also be aware of their child's actual situation and make a preliminary assessment of whether the toy is suitable for him to play with.

4. Don’t be restricted by gender.

Many parents use inertial thinking to buy toys for their children. Boys will buy him some robots and cars, and girls will buy dolls for themselves. In fact, this is the case. It will restrict the development of children to a great extent. In fact, there is not much difference in the brain development of children of different genders. If you want your children to realize their potential effectively, you should expose your children to a variety of toys and observe what types of toys they have. Toys are particularly interested in finding their points of interest.

After talking about some of the common misunderstandings when choosing toys, let’s take a look at which toys parents are not recommended to buy, because these types of toys have experienced large and small accidents. If you don’t want your children to get hurt, Just be sure to pay attention.
