SCHOOL FOR PARENTS: Dad checks that all the toys you give your child are educational.
In this post, I want to talk with parents, some of the toys since we are on Christmas Eve and we know that it is synonymous with gifts.

Each father does his best to develop his son. First of all with the help of the game. In stores, you can find all kinds of ultramodern toys, many of which are positioned as in development. Let's find out if they all really develop our children.
Electronic pets
It seems that such a toy will develop into the responsibility of the child, empathy, the desire to care, especially if the pet is like a real one. Electronic life, as well as real, is also possible, and sometimes it is necessary to take care, protect, take care. Many young parents remember their passion Tamagotchi and the first "ferb". Since then, many more realistic toy animals have appeared.
It seems that such a toy can replace a real animal.
This becomes especially relevant if, for some reason, it is not possible to have a real pet. However, if viewed from a different angle, if affection is formed, then it is an inanimate object, an inanimate object, whose consequences of the rupture are not as terrible as an incident with a living being.
What can be replaced? An ordinary animal toy!
The child himself will give him such a character. Thanks to the imagination of the child, the toy will become a living creature, a true animal!
And such a favorite toy is very important for the development of a child, teaches his kindness and friendship, helps to feel tenderness, affection, pity. If you really want to take care of the animals, but there is no way to get a pet, you can become a volunteer in the shelter, make bird feeders and squirrels.
Puzzles
Many children can spend more than one night putting together complex puzzles. In addition, the collection of complex and large images of the elements can be a good leisure together for the family. The puzzles will help the child to develop perseverance, the ability to work on the model, visual perception.
However, the puzzle has a very limited range of development, and interest in it happens after the end of the montage.
What can be replaced
Mosaic will also take care of the functions of the puzzle, but it will also provide a lot of space for creativity. At the same time, the mosaic does not have an "expiration date"; from its details, you can collect an infinite number of images.
You can give preference to the designer, who will help develop spatial thinking and fantasy. With this, deal with those that are a set of parts from which you can build anything. You can choose a set in which the details must be added, finished, for example, painted.
Functions of toys
This category includes everything that limits the options of the game: racing tracks, parking lots and garages, character toys, robotic toys, etc.
Such toys do not leave the possibility of playing really with them, the maximum that is required of the child is to arm it and press a button.
And then he will do everything for the child: he will move, he will make sounds, he will give a specific version of the action of the game. These toys not only provide little room for development, but they can also get bored quickly.
What can be replaced?
When choosing a toy, it is important to pay attention to the proportion of active and passive actions of the child, which assumes to the extent that it includes his imagination. The simplest toys, but of high quality, have a much greater development potential than those that are saturated with electronics.
Toys and kits for creativity.
This category includes jewelry, making dolls, jewelry, etc. Molds, shapes, and figures, Combine the details and design the clothes.
There is the possibility of a hobby, a separate sewing technique. Children simply reproduce instead of creating an object.
Paradoxically, it can create clear boundaries of limits.
Of course, such sets should not be preferred.
What can be replaced?
After getting acquainted with a hobby, instead of kits ready to sculpt dinosaurs, fruits, and desserts, it is better to buy a lot to sculpt.
And instead of a set for the design - buy the necessary materials to create your own arts,

Toys that imitate the real objects of the adult world.
The child's natural aspiration is maturing. Many parents want to help the baby by buying toys that are similar or that almost function as objects of adult life.
The range of this category of toys is limited only by the budget. In stores you can find many options: from toy irons to cameras for children, you can take real photographs. Of course, everyone in childhood had toy objects from "adult" life: construction tools, plates, appliances, etc.
Yes, these toys can significantly diversify the game's plot, make you feel like an adult, try the role of mom or dad. However, it is important to evaluate how much a toy is still a toy and answer the questions honestly:
- Does a child really need such a thing?
- Does the game replace the manipulation of the object?
- Maybe, instead of a toy, offer a real object, at the same time you familiarize a child with the technologies?
However, the closer the toy approaches the real object, the less you can play with it.
What can be replaced?
If there is a need for real functions of the object, it makes sense to give preference to real objects and devices, perhaps with simple functionality, but which children can use.
Instead of buying appliances "for children" or even the whole kitchen, it is better to involve the child in real household chores. Instead of sets for spa treatments, it is better to organize a joint party with the children at the spa.
