Parents often have a belief that the more expensive the toy purchased for the child, the more interesting it is for him. For all that, preschoolers don't really care how much their cute toy costs financially, they are interested in completely different characteristics.
The most favorite toys, as a rule, are those that parents play with the baby, because the game itself brings the greatest joy to the child, in which you can use objects that are new to him, and not just possession of a certain object. The second most important selection criterion is considered the safety of toys for the baby, the absence of sharp and very rough corners and the environmental friendliness of the object.
Often toys that seem completely insignificant for adults delight the baby much more than expensive toys from the store. Ordinary stones, pieces of cloth, ordinary boxes or bottles can lead to admiration. Sometimes it also happens that parents are offended when the baby bypasses an expensive designer or a huge set, while being carried away by viewing a collection of unnecessary buttons or postcards.
Another fairly common mistake in establishing current games with a child is the imposition by adults of children of their own ideas about the process of a certain game. In particular, when playing cars with the boy, parents impose their own rules and a certain sequence of play on him, although the kid has his own opinion. Of course, I want the child to master the main rules of the movement, to be able to give way, but, nevertheless, this is just a game. Continuous tugs and corrections prevent the baby from enjoying the process itself, do not provide an opportunity to relax and just enjoy the game. It would be much more correct at first to look from the outside behind his actions and then try to show how to do it all correctly.
It is impermissible to ignore the child's questions that he asks during the games. Explain any actions that are causing your baby to misunderstand.
