Parents Beware: Don't make these mistakes while buying toys for children..

How to choose the right toys: Children develop intellectually, emotionally, and socially with age. They learn a lot from the things they see from childhood. Toys are very important in their development. For many parents, toys are just playthings, but they have a deep impact on the thinking and behavior of children.

Toys should not chase children.
Psychiatrist Priyanka Srivastava says that when a child is learning to walk, parents often make key or remote-operated toys run after them and tell the children to run. By saying run-run, you are reducing the confidence of your children. Never make the toy run after the child, but make the child run after the toy. This will give the child confidence in himself. He will feel that he has achieved something by doing some work. This will increase his confidence. Along with this, he will start making strategies on his own as to how to reach his target. Instead of key or remote-operated toys, make the child play with a ball. The texture and touch of the ball will increase his senses. This will also increase his focus, and he will remain active.

Avoid gender based toys.
Toys are marketed so heavily that wherever you go to a shop or shop online, you will find toys for boys and girls in separate sections. Parents' thinking is also getting affected by this. They have to understand that there is no difference between boys and girls. If girls play with science games, dinosaurs, robots, or guns, and boys play with dolls and kitchen sets, then their thinking will not be limited to a certain area. They will change the clichéd thinking, like the roles of boys and girls divided in society.

Do not get girls' dolls.
Often, parents give dolls to their daughters in childhood itself. The makeup, dress, and shoes of these dolls, everything makes girls think from childhood that they have to look beautiful like dolls, look slim, and do makeup. Along with the dolls, their baby and doll house also come, which sets a pattern in the minds of girls that their job is to take care of the house and give birth to children. Due to this, girls start living in an imaginary world and start getting away from logic. Keep them away from dolls. To increase their logical skills and make them technically strong, give them toys or games related to it.

Give these things to children.
Whether it is a boy or a girl, parents should give them both the same kind of toys and games. Give them blocks or puzzles; this will improve their creativity and logical skills. Toys with building sets will develop their motor skills. This can also help your child to become a good engineer when he grows up. Clay improves their imagination and expression. Games or toys related to science or maths provide them with a problem-solving mind. Board games instill a sense of teamwork in them, and sports equipment like bat-ball, rope, and badminton keep them physically active. Do not give them video games even by mistake.
