How we sell the game to children: 6 common mistakes

The game is the key to the mental and physical development of the baby, it helps the baby to develop comprehensively and harmoniously. Only in the era of a real abundance of beautiful toys aimed at the development of the plot, creativity and imagination, modern children for some reason have big problems with this.

They find it difficult to come up with a plot, they have problems with imagination and imagination, they are passive, inhibited, not independent and not interested in the game. And all because we discourage our children from playing.





Mistake 1: We buy a lot of toys not for the child, but for ourselves.

Instead of buying a toy that they like, adults buy what they like. The situation is aggravated if in childhood parents had a shortage of toys. Such parents often buy without knowing the measures. But satiety entails boredom and apathy.

Council: It is better to have a few toys, but they will be carefully selected in accordance with the age and interests of the baby. Buy simple toys that give the baby the opportunity to show imagination, use imagination. Conventional machines are better than those that run on batteries. A simple doll is better than a talking doll. So that the baby is not tired of the abundance of toys, divide them into 3 parts. Keep 2 of them away from children’s eyes. Watch the baby. As soon as you notice that he is tired of a toy, he no longer plays with it, replace it with a forgotten one.

Mistake 2: We deprive the child of freedom and initiative

Adults too actively and proactively organize the leisure of the child. Carefree children’s idleness, useful doing nothing, the opportunity to simply get bored and fantasize seem to adult pernicious and unhealthy states. They think that the child must do something. As a result, he is lost when no one guides him or tries to entertain him.

Council: Adults should give the child maximum freedom for independent play and research. It is useful to schedule time for joint leisurely walks in the park, during which you can view clouds, watch birds, etc. Do not neglect the opportunity to chat with your child before going to bed, listen to his invented stories. Stop the time, teach the child to be bored in the good sense of the word, to dream, to fantasize.

Mistake 3: We entrusted the children to the telnyas.

Already from 1.5 years old, children watch cartoons, at 3 years old they master computer games. The result is problems with concentration, imagination, logic, difficulties in communication. These children lack imagination and creativity. A kid sitting for a long time at the TV, gets used to getting ready-made solutions, becomes creatively passive. He can't keep himself busy, make up games.

Council: Strictly control the viewing of programs by genre and limit time. Don't put the TV in the nursery. The child will willingly engage in other things, he will show interest in knowledge. Remember that, depending on age, a child can spend from 15 to 40 minutes a day at the age of 2-5 years and no more than 1 hour a day if he is older than 5 years. Children under 2 years old TV is contraindicated!

Mistake 4: We prefer learning over play.

Excessive fascination with early intellectual development leads to overstrain of the baby. However, neither in Russia nor in the West is there a surge of mass early genius. On the contrary, the intellectual level of children is significantly reduced. Why? The child in his development consistently goes through stage by stage. And gaming is one of them. Neither study nor study can give at the age of 0 to 5 years as much as easy and easy gives the game.

Council: Give your child safe space (yard, forest, park, room), necessary items, games and toys, time for yourself and freedom of expression. Be prepared to teach him what he will need to keep playing. At the same time, you should not try to develop before the time what the baby has not yet grown up to.

Mistake 5: We stopped giving examples, ideas.

To organize any game activity, role or subject, to come up with a plot, you need a sample. And to give it is our task: to come up with a plot, to throw an idea, to distribute roles, to give a second life to old toys. Do our children know the games we played? Classics, Cossack robbers, hide-and-seek, catch-up, rubber bands, sludge? Nope. And how do they know if no one can show or teach?

Council: Playing doesn’t have to take hours on the carpet and simulate howling a fire truck. From time to time, ask what your child is doing. And in the process, unobtrusively and unobtrusively share your ideas with him. Then go back to your business again. The child will creatively implement your idea, turning his game in a new direction.

Mistake 6: Playing with children is a responsibility.

Few people can boast that he loves to play with children. But when we begin to perceive play as a duty, it is from that moment that it ceases to be a game. Rest assured: children will intuitively feel a lack of enthusiasm, and this will deprive them of a huge part of the pleasure of playing.

Development comes from the point of rest.

The insidious “NO” particle: don’t do, don’t touch, don’t run!

Council: Don't like to play, don't play. Just stay close. Is your child busy, but he always comes to you from his room? He needs to make sure that he is safe and that you are there. Sit on the floor of your child’s room so that he or she can ask you a question or boast about the results of his or her activities. Get creative together.

Are you interested in casting or painting with watercolor? Involve your child in these activities. Take an interest in his toys. We closely monitor how the baby grows teeth, how he socially integrates in the nursery. But his toys are a major part of his life and are very important to him. Read books to children. The child learns the book only through adults. Take 10 minutes before bed or on weekends.

P.S. And remember, just changing our consumption – together we change the world!
