My Toys Tips #1

Bade Miyan Toh Bade Miyan ... Chote Miyan Shubhan Allah!!

Basically I mean to say that small activity toys are much more fruitful than big toys like rideons & big teddys & etc

I have generally observed that in many families parents buy big toys for their kids but these toys just occupy lots of space and kids don’t get involved for long time. Rather buy some activity toys like puzzles, blocks, memory, wooden etc which keep kids occupied & makes them use their brains & motor skills. These help in increasing the keenness to learn new things in them.

But to make your kids love such toys, an effort is required by the parent initially to sit with them & play together. We proudly bring lots of toys for our kids but we seldom join our kids to play with them, we mostly leave them on their own so we are at peace.

I have 2 & a half years old daughter. As any kid, she is madly in love love her toys and would force me always to come sit with her & play.

From my point of view, Toys help kids grow their imagination power and relate to concepts of real world. I have observed in the case of my daughter that she is a little less stubborn, generally less irritated & only seen crying when she is hurt. And an interesting thing is that Alphabets, fruits, vegetables recognition, 2-3 pieces of puzzles, body parts, drawing these all things she learnt very easily, I never taught her much! You just need to be talkative and pay your attention towards them while they are playing.

So friends, while you are quite focused at your kiddo diets, vitamins, proteins intakes, do look towards their toys as well, because it’s time to think differently about theirs overall development. My daughter feels happiest when her father or I just sitting with her (without mobile) & becoming part of her world! Try it.

Note: I am not a child psychologist or doctor at all, I am just a mother who thought differently! And this is my opinion (tried & tested) to choose toys for my daughter.

Thank you
