When you enter the house where a modern child lives, you can find an incredible amount of a wide variety of toys and devices designed to make the life of his parents easier. Never before have children been overwhelmed with so many items as they are now. Adults especially outdo themselves on holidays. For some reason, it seems to them that the more toys, and the more expensive they are, the better. However, remember how children, having an abundance of toys, with incredible interest and zeal want to play with objects that are absolutely not intended for this purpose . These could be elements of dishes, old wooden clothespins, buttons, sticks lying on the street, mom’s cosmetics or dad’s socks. What's the catch? The point is that toys themselves have almost no meaning. Their main purpose is to be directly used in play with adults. When a parent participates in the game, it doesn’t matter at all whether it’s a doll worth several thousand from the latest fashion collection or a rag doll sewn from the remnants of old clothes. In both cases, children will play with the same interest if mom or dad takes part in this. Why do children love to choose household objects as toys? Yes, because all their activities are imitation and repetition of the actions of adults. If you don’t play with your child’s toys, they will most likely gather dust in the room alone, and the baby will happily bang pots. Try to take one object and show your child several options for playing with it - and he is guaranteed to be captivated by it for another couple of days. Now many psychologists and other specialists working with children advocate that the child have a minimum set of the simplest toys, and not a bunch of gadgets for every “wish”. Simple toys develop imagination and allow you to take a creative approach to the gameplay. This is especially true for the little ones - why does a one-year-old child need gadgets with a bunch of buttons if he just needs to assemble a pyramid of five rings and carry a wooden car on a string? He will have to push buttons for the rest of his conscious life. In addition, the constant absence of adults when children play has a detrimental effect on the development of speech, since the child definitely needs comments and explanations. It is absolutely necessary to use modern technologies to simplify life with a child. In order to spend the free time on the baby. What do you think, does an overabundance of toys harm children?
