I can always hear mothers complain helplessly: children have too many toys and he doesn't play much. He usually puts it in a storage box, but every time he takes the children out, he always buys a new one. Although he feels like a waste of money, he can't beat him. Indeed, children's preferences change really quickly. They were super excited at the moment of purchase and soon lost interest.

So the more toys children have, the better? After research, foreign child psychologists found that toys are equivalent to their words for children, but it is best to be "heavy and light". They think it is more scientific to buy toys for children once a year, no more than two.

They let two children live in two rooms, prepared four toys for child A and 20 toys for child B. After two hours of observation, the scholars came to the conclusion that the first child spent much more time on each toy than the second child, and when choosing toys, child A was more decisive, but child B just picked up this one and grabbed another one, which made him hesitate; In addition, the degree of investment between the two children is also different. A child is very focused, and B child is always absent-minded.

This shows that too many toys will have a negative impact on children's concentration. This situation is very common in life. If you only give your baby a bear, he will always play with it. However, if you put your child in a pile of toys, none of them can play for a long time, which makes it more difficult for your baby's already weak concentration.

In addition, too many toys will have a negative impact on children's creativity, because the scarcity of toys is positively related to creativity. When a child has only two or three toys, they will create new ways to play, but when he has many toys, it is easy for the child to lose interest and just throw them away after playing a few times.

Parents can try to classify toys, instead of putting them all in front of their babies at once, they can just give them a few to play with for a while. When there are only two or three kinds of toys in front of children, they will be more focused and guide them to create more ways to play. At the same time, it can also help children turn their attention to nature and explore ways of playing with small leaves and pebbles to help their intellectual development. In short, we must learn to use the psychological law of scarcity to achieve better results.

When preparing toys for babies, there are also some places to pay attention to. For example, parents should try not to prepare talking toys for their babies who are learning to talk. They will not only help children learn to speak faster, but also make them "listen more and talk less" and reduce communication with their parents.

Some parents like to choose toys according to their children's sex. For example, boys are cars or guns, girls are dolls or plush toys, which is not good for children's growth. Parents should guide their children's balanced personality development.

We can choose puzzles, building blocks and other toys for children to cultivate hand-eye coordination. We can play with children, or invite them to play together, even if there is an age gap between children. It is because it is simple enough that the space for children to play freely is broad enough.

Good parents still need some thinking instead of leaving their children in the toy pile.
