How to choose the right toys for children?
Toys are indispensable companions for children. Toys can not only be used for play, but choosing the right toys can also promote children's mental development. With the development of technology, toys are emerging in endless variety, and styles are changing with each passing day. If every kind of toy is bought for the child, it is really unrealistic. On the one hand, most families cannot afford it economically, and on the other hand, it is easy to make children develop habits of not cherishing things, wasting things, and being fickle.
So how do you choose the right toys for your child?
First, the safety of toys
The safety of children is paramount. When parents choose toys for their children, they must check whether the material of the toy is safe and non-toxic and odorless. Young children like to put things in their mouths, so toys with unclear materials and safety hazards should never be bought. Also, pay attention to whether the surface of the toy has any sharp or pointed parts. Children's skin is tender, so be sure to check carefully to avoid injuring the child.
Second, choose toys according to the child's age characteristics
Children of different ages need different toys.
Children aged 0-2 are in the sensorimotor stage, relying on sensory actions to adapt to the external world. Toys that make sounds, are brightly colored, and are easy to operate can be chosen, such as rattles, teethers, hand drums, and small trains that can be pushed. Children of this age like repetition, and these toys can exercise their muscle strength.
You can also buy cloth books or board books for children, which are both fun and can teach children to recognize some common things in life, such as colors, fruits, vehicles, and animals.
Children aged 3-6 have a certain degree of control over their bodies, and their concrete image thinking begins to develop. You can choose toys such as scooters, bicycles with training wheels, and basketballs. These toys can effectively exercise children's balance, control, and willpower.
Children aged 3-6 can be given picture books. Hard-cover books are not easily torn by children. After I read it to my child twice, she can tell me the story by looking at the pictures. This can exercise the child's language expression ability, enrich the child's imagery, and develop concrete image thinking ability.
Children aged 4-7 are in a sensitive period of identity confirmation. Children like to play various roles to satisfy their curiosity, and their favorite game is playing house. Children like to pretend to be parents, teachers, doctors, police officers, etc., so parents can buy plush toys, Barbie dolls, doctor's tools, kitchen toys, police cars, etc., to experience the work of different roles and professions.
Third, choose toys according to the child's gender.
Choosing toys according to the child's gender can cultivate the child's gender advantages, but this is not absolute, and can be combined with the child's preferences. Boys like sports and military toys, such as various guns and cars. Girls like to take care of people and like to dress up, so you can choose Barbie dolls, plush toys, or toys for playing house. These toys can cultivate children's love and sense of responsibility.
Fourth, choose suitable educational toys
Chinese educator Chen Heqin once said: "Educational toys play a very important role in early childhood education, just as textbooks in primary and secondary schools are indispensable." Therefore, when choosing toys for children, choose educational toys that children are interested in.
