Play is the child's work, the toy is referred to as "the first textbook of life." However, in the face of the satisfying toy products, how to choose, can become the biggest problem, children like to play simple, easy to play toys, but parents consider that buying toys is not only fun, but also helps to develop children's intelligence. The contradiction has emerged. Who should listen to this contradiction?
First, understand the true nature of toys
Experts believe that "toy" is just an adult language. Because adults first define children's activities as "playing." Therefore, the utensils in the process of play naturally become "toys." In fact, the activities of children, especially infants and young children, are far more important to them than adults think of "playing". Their activities are the work they do to adapt to the environment. In this sense, the tools in their activities can no longer be seen as "toys", but should be seen as tools - tools for understanding the world and exploring the world. It can be said that the activities of infants and young children are related to the problem of individual adaptation. Of course, infants and young children are full of fun and enjoyable emotional experiences when using these tools.
Since "toy" is a tool for children to explore the world and understand the world, it is obvious that children have this need when they are born. Therefore, she should be prepared for her "toy" from the time the child is born. We avoid “buying†and “prepare†because “toys†don’t necessarily have to “buyâ€, they can do it themselves or “borrowâ€. The term "borrowing" here does not mean borrowing from other people's toys. Instead, "borrow" items that are not normally classified as "toys" are used as "toys." The above example is a good proof.
It is natural for children to love to play, because there are too many things in this world that are strange to them. They need to understand the environment full of strange things. Children know the world in the process of "playing." The "toy" plays a role in media. In the process of playing with "toys", the children gradually mastered the various characteristics of softness, hardness, size, coolness, heat, color, squareness, smoothness and roughness of different things, and thus became familiar with the properties and functions of various things in the environment. To achieve the purpose of understanding the world and adapting to the environment. Therefore, in terms of function, everything that can play a media role in the process of children's understanding of the outside world is a "toy."
Because children of different ages have different levels of understanding of the outside world, different athletic abilities, and different objects that can be manipulated, their needs for "toys" must be different. For example, pots, bowls, scoops, and pots are very good "toys" for infants, but they are not of interest to older children. But you can't divide toys into strict age limits. Because of the same thing, children of different ages may have different ways of playing. In real life, we will see an example of this: the little baby goes to “grab†the brother and sister’s toy, completely ignoring their own drums and rag dolls. The five- and six-year-old brothers and sisters like these gongs and rag dolls and organize them into their own "playing house" games.
“More and better†is not appropriate for children’s “toy†issues. The purpose of providing "toys" for children is to provide them with useful tools for exploring the world and understanding the world. There are not many tools, but they are used. Children can have many "toys" but if children don't "play" these "toys", then there is no difference between having and not. Therefore, the toys should be small and refined so that the child's imagination can be mobilized. If a "toy" can be "played" with many new tricks, then not only will the full play of the "toy" role, but also help the child's creative development. Of course, it can sometimes be difficult to keep a child with a few toys that are of interest to them. Some parents may have such experience, children have a lot of toys, but only a few of them are like them. Some newly bought toys only play for a day or two, and even do not play for an hour or two. The child is just playing fresh. It is the child's nature to like to explore novelty. We don't have to criticize this feature of the child, but we can use this feature. That is to put away some of the extra toys of the child and prevent her from seeing. Give it to her after a while, so she will feel fresh again. And you can also see that she has a new gameplay. If these things have not been collected, maybe she still turns a blind eye.
Comprehending this truth, it is much easier to prepare "toys" for children. Pot lids, paper cartons, cloth strips, fruits and vegetables, hand-electromagnetic belts, cups and bottles, rice bowls, rice spoons, and even confectionery, etc., everything that is not dangerous to children can enter the category of "toys". We don't have to worry about our children's toys anymore.
Second, the child is the master VS parents
1, the child is the master
Zhang Mei has a rough account, and the monthly cost of the toy on the 4-year-old son is about 1,000 yuan. In terms of quantity, it is a toy that is delivered. There are four or five bags packed with a double bed. Now there are a lot of toys in the closet of the house. From the price point of view, Zhang Mei basically does not consider the price factor. The most expensive toy is close to a thousand dollars, but it is worthwhile to buy a safe, buy a safe.
Every time my son likes to go to the street with Zhang Mei, because the probability of getting a toy is higher. Because Zhang Mei did not have a lot of toys when she was a child, she always wanted to compensate her son, so she was especially "careful" when she bought toys for her son. In her own words, it is "I can't bear to see the kind of eyes that my son envied with other children's hands in the hands of toys." This naturally makes his son add toys that other children envy. The son will choose the toy according to his own preferences. This is not the case. After several times, the train has been set up for more than a dozen sets. The beach is on the living room floor and the scene is quite spectacular.
Zhang Mei himself admits that there are more toys, and his son is easy to like new and old, and his loyalty to toys is not high, and he does not know how to cherish it. The son has a shortcoming - easy to distract, I don't know if it is caused by more toys; but at the same time, the kindergarten teacher responded that his son is more "old" than other children, and he does not know if this is a toy. Now Zhang Mei has been more temperate in buying toys. In her opinion, not buying is not necessarily awkward, buying is not necessarily a luxury, and the choice of the son is more important.
2, parents take the lead
Perhaps because of the birth of a young teacher, when Wang Lei bought a toy for her daughter, she basically had the final say, and the toys she bought were all intellectual toys. She found that her daughter was interested in reading, and she would consciously guide her daughter to play toys, such as a toy such as a reading lang. When she felt that she should exercise the coordination of her daughter's movements, she added different sizes as her age changed. The ball, let the daughter shoot; originally did not prepare to buy GameBoy for her daughter, and later found that the game machine can also exercise mental strength, and bought it for her daughter.
Wang Lei’s principle of buying toys is to buy it meaningfully, and not to buy it. When her daughter is young, she may follow her intentions and buy some toys, but now she is 5 years old, she is no longer responsive. Although the current children are "smart and conscientious", they will use various methods to make adults meet the requirements of buying toys, but Wang Lei has his own scale and method. So my daughter is very clear now, as long as her mother does not agree, how can she make troubles and how to worry about it, it will not help. The possibility of adding a new toy is nothing more than the following: birthday, children's day or special performance. Good time. When selecting toys, Wang Lei will very carefully ask the salesperson about the function of the toy, and personally experience the performance of the toy. She hopes that the toy can give children growth of knowledge and fun.
Third, early childhood education expert Lin Mao: let the children become the protagonist of the game
Toys are children's textbooks, but for children, toys are their friends. It is a form suitable for children to accept the ability and interest to express their educational and entertaining through toys. In a broad sense, it can be said that almost all toys suitable for children are ingenious, because no matter what kind of toys, children play the necessary cognitive ability and operation necessary for intellectual development in the process of fiddling and operation. Ability, hand-eye coordination, etc. Some parents think that the children have more toys, so they buy a lot of toys. Whenever the game starts, always spread a bed and a place. Too few toys, children will of course feel monotonous and boring, but a large variety of toys will make children often change toys, which ones will not play long.
Pay attention to the following four aspects when purchasing toys:
1. Clarity. Just buy the toy before you know the purpose of buying this toy, pay attention to choose the toy that suits their physical and psychological characteristics, rather than the more expensive, the higher the better.
2, do not buy the word "puzzle". The so-called puzzle-type toy refers to a toy that requires active thinking, needs to solve problems, or achieve certain goals during the operation. This form of play is lively and can attract children; it requires hands-on operation; different levels of participation in mind activities such as chess, thinking, reasoning, and so on, such as chess toys, building blocks, jigsaw puzzles, and strategic computer games. Some parents think that the more difficult the toy is, the more intriguing it is. This is actually a misunderstanding. Because if the toy presents the child with a problem that he can't solve, it makes the toy lose its original meaning and makes the child feel uninterested.
3, pay attention to the safety of toys. The first is psychological security, such as whether the toy is a healthy toy, not a toy with a low level of fun. Second is the safety of the quality of the toy itself.
4. The use of toys. After the toy is bought, the parents have to take a look and play. You can also talk to your child, guide your child, be his partner, and get involved. In fact, when playing with toys, the child should be the protagonist, and the toy is the supporting role.
