Why do Children Always Find Other People’s Toys More Attractive?

You may often hear some parents complain that their children are always trying to get other children’s toys, because they think other people’s toys are more beautiful, even if they own the same kind of toys. What’s worse, children of this age can’t understand their parents’ persuasion. They just cry. Parents are very worried. There are many wooden doll houses, role play toys, bath toys and so on. Why do they want other people’s toys so much?

Children like to play with other people’s toys not because they like to snatch other people’s things, but because children at this age are curious about the outside world. Those toys at home often appear in their sight, and they will naturally suffer from aesthetic fatigue. Once they see the toys in other people’s hands, even if those toys are not necessarily fun, they will subconsciously want to get new colors and tactile experiences. Moreover, babies of this age are self-centered, so mothers don’t have to worry too much about this behavior of their children, as long as they moderately block them.

So, how to tell a child not to snatch other people’s toys with his limited cognitive ability? First of all, you need to let him understand that this toy does not belong to him. He need to get other people’s permission to use it. If other children are not willing to give toys to him, then other scenes can be appropriately used to attract his attention. For example, you can ask him if he wants to play the carousel or take him away from the scene. In this scenario, parents must control their emotions and learn to pacify their children’s crying.

In addition, parents can also prepare for it in advance. For example, you can bring a few small toys from home, because other children will also be interested in these toys, so you can remind your child to protect these toys, and he will temporarily forget other people’s toys and focus on his own toys.

Finally, parents must let their children learn to come first and then come. Children in kindergartens are bound to compete for toys. If children want to play with toys in such public places, parents must teach their children how to wait and line up in order. Maybe children can’t understand the right way at once. Parents should set an example at this time. Let him gradually imitate and gradually become part of his successful exchange of experience. In this process, children will gradually learn the skills of expression and communication, and improve their bad behaviors accordingly.
