In children’s childhood, toys meant more and more to children. The attractiveness of toys to children during their infancy depends on their level of development. Before the child can climb, toys have a strong appeal to him. At that time, infants could not practice crawling, climbing, walking and other motor skills, and could not change their position, so they were more curious about toys.
From the early crawling stage to about 14 months or so, the excitement and challenges brought about by new motor skills overwhelm the appeal of all toys. From 14 months to 24 months, most children will become increasingly interested in primary caregivers. As sports and visual exploration continue, societal needs take precedence. As a result, toys that can cause social interaction are becoming more attractive, such as story books, toy phones, plush toys, and dolls.
As children develop in language and intelligence, toys begin to seduce children more. Parents should strive to balance the child’s various interests: not only give him the opportunity to play with children’s toys, but also give him the opportunity to practice physical skills, and at the same time give him the opportunity to communicate with others through activities such as toy games . Children learn best when they are interested in what they do. If he is fascinated by an activity, it may mean that the activity has learning value.
In the early years, children often feel bored for a long time is not a good phenomenon. The basic characteristic of first-class early development is that from the second to the third year, children should have fun activities most of the time. During this period, only parents could arrange such activities for their children. If you understand your child’s evolving interests and abilities, this job will not be difficult. In this process, toys play some role, but they are not essential.
