Give a child a new toy -- any toy -- and odds are, you have got a happy kid. Young children generally are not fussy when it comes to baby toys and kids toys, but parents should be.
Toys are more than simply playthings, however, and while they should be enjoyable, they should also be age-appropriate, stimulating, and secure. "Toys must be thought of as developmental learning tools."
When choosing age-appropriate baby toys or children toys for a young child, keep these tips in mind:
Toys that do a lot of don't allow a child to use her own imagination. mr immortal toy and stuffed animals that talk or sing or direct kids to press specific buttons basically take responsibility for the play scenario once the kid should be the one directing the activity. "If a toy is too specific, it is restricting and it simplifies the child the capacity to use her creativity," states Panaccione. "The best toys are often the simplest ones -- like cubes -- because they allow children to be creative and spontaneous."
Set limits on electronic toys and video games.
We are living in a digital age, and any parent that thinks she could keep her kid -- even a toddler -- from computers and the like forever is kidding herself. But for young children, especially, it's vital to set limits. Studies have suggested that electronic toys pose several possible dangers for children's wellbeing and growth, such as hearing loss (from loud toys), weight reduction (from being inactive while playing), and language and developmental delays. One recent study at Temple University showed that toys which don't require a child to do anything but watch encourage a passive learning style, which may interfere with learning to think independently.
Electronics can also affect a child's attention span, says Linda Crowe, PhD, a professor at the Communication Sciences and Disorders Program at Kansas State University. "Toys that have flashing lights and continuous modifications and movement don't call for a child to listen to any one thing for very long. Kids who use these toys frequently can find it difficult to concentrate on something such as a publication or non-moving toy"
As stated by the American Academy of Pediatrics, children under age 2 shouldn't watch TV or play video games at all; kids over two should have their"display time" restricted to 1-2 hours every day.
