The influence of Toys on Children


It is known that how toys influence children and shape their personality and characters. Some researchers believe that nature of children affect their behavior and for some nurture is more important. They also agree with the idea that the type of toys children play with, influence their conversation. For example toys like grocery toys make, especially girls, talk more and for boys it is a little different because they like play with toys which they can take part and put them back together. One of researchers at the University of California believes that both girls and boys need task –oriented toys to improve their relationships and being social. It is parent’s responsibilities that choose right toys to help their children to develop their conversation. The variety of toys that parents buy for children is very important, because these toys make children to act differently in different situations.
Parents know how Kids like various toys, for instance, when they go shopping with their kids, in toy stores children are very excited and they want to play with all toys. We can help them and buy which they are more interested on it and match with their age. The one I bought for my son was Lego and it was very helpful because he played in different ways, so I did not buy a lot of toys. Legos are bought in different shapes, parts, and sizes. It depends on what your kids likes more. My son interested on plane and I bought one that have plane parts, airport and also pilot and passengers. He put the parts together and built an airport and with pilot and passengers he made a lot of stories and also helped him to improve his conversation. Because of influence of toys on kids, it is our responsibility to choose right one.
