Many parents are faced with the fact that the child once says: all the toys are tired, we need new ones. How to respond to such statements, we will tell you in this article.
Often it seems to parents that if a child begs for a new toy, he is spoiled. That happens. We live in abundance, now any things and information are available, so it is difficult to make a child appreciate toys that he already has. Yet far from always it comes to spoiling. There are several reasons why babies get bored with toys.
Perhaps the child just grew up, so now he is really not interested in playing with old toys. In this case, you need to replace them with age-appropriate crumbs.
Children rejoice at their old forgotten toys, sometimes even more than new ones. After all, plush friends, cars and dolls become especially close and valuable if memories are associated with them. Take away the bored toys, then after a while they will become "new." The kid should not see where they are hiding, otherwise he himself will get them. The effect of novelty will disappear. Just do not need to hide toys with which the child does not part.
Another interest in toys is lost when there are too many of them. They bother, and the baby wants new experiences. The solution is simple: do not give the child all the toys at once, hide some of them until the moment when the baby wants something new.
More difficult situations - if the baby is more attracted to computer games. This happens when parents let crumbs to gadgets from a very young age, and they replace the child with ordinary toys (and they replaced him with the need to develop in the process of this game). Do not let your baby sit at a computer or tablet for a long time. There are severe cases when a child has a very excitable nervous system, he arranges tantrums, becomes aggressive or gloomy when parents turn off the game. It is difficult to agree and compromise with such a child, so the best solution is to completely ban the computer. At first it will be difficult, but try to captivate the baby with something else: games in the yard with peers, classes in children's clubs.
Parents need to remember one thing: those who did not have games as such in childhood grow up as infantile people. A person will not become mentally inferior, but he will not be able to use life and acquired experience, as well as make decisions independently, he will be irresponsible, he will not be serious about others, he will be left without friends, because he will not be able to establish communication with people, he will not be able to find mutual understanding with his relatives , colleagues ... It is also dangerous that a computer-enthusiastic child may develop gambling. This is a painful addiction that can be treated for a long time and with difficulty, while not always successfully.

Children under 3 years old still do not know how to play alone because of age characteristics. They need to be taught this. Sometimes the baby himself understands what to do with certain toys, but this does not always happen. It is necessary to show the crumbs why each toy is needed, what can be done with it. Do not insist that the baby play exactly as you showed. If he came up with another game, let him have fun - of course, if he does not harm himself and does not spoil things.
Even at the age of 4, a child cannot always figure out how to play. Show the boy that the plane flies and lands at the airport to land passengers, goes to sleep in the hangar, then refuel. Explain to the girl that the doll needs to be fed, rocked in her arms, laid to sleep, combed and dressed, swaddled if it is a baby doll.
From time to time you need to buy new toys, because the child is growing, and his developmental needs are also increasing. An excellent toy is a universal designer, because from its details you can create a wide variety of things. Therefore, it is unlikely that he will quickly get bored, especially if the set is large or there are two of them. Teach your baby to design, show him that you can create a man, a house, a typewriter, an airplane - and all this from the same details. Parents will have to plug in a fantasy and figure out what else they can put together, but it's worth it. Soon, the baby himself will repeat the shown figures. Be sure to praise the baby when he demonstrates his achievements. So you motivate the child to continue to design and invent their own options. First help the baby - he will surely have difficulties connecting and disconnecting the parts.
Do not buy your child everything that he points with his finger! Let the toys be welcome - so the child will appreciate and cherish them more. Do not be afraid to explain to the child that it is impossible to buy everything (even if the family budget does not suffer much from this).
Sometimes the baby says that he is tired of toys, but in fact he lacks parental attention and care. No toys can replace pastime with mom and dad. Therefore, play with the baby, show that you can come up with different games with the same cars or dolls. Read fairy tales, talk, sculpt together from plasticine, draw. Do whatever you want, and the child will be just happy that you participate in his games.
