Since there are children at home, every corner of the home has been filled with children's toys. Some of these toys were bought by parents, while others were bought by grandparents or relatives at home. The same toy has several styles or several colors.

Children play with toys for only three minutes. After playing with this toy for a while, they will run to play with other toys as soon as they are thrown away.

As a result, every corner of the house is full of children's toys, children play in the front, and parents pick them up behind. In this regard, many parents have complained that their children only know how to play with toys but never put them away. Dabao will like it very much when he is two or three years old

Why don't children like to put away their toys?

Reason 1. Parents’ living habits are more casual

Children are not born with the ability to "clean up". Parents may also wish to pay attention to observe some children around them. They will find that behind the children who like to clean up, summarize and organize toys, there is a parent who loves to clean up.

On the contrary, the parents of children who litter their toys and do not like to clean up their toys are mostly casual. At home, what items are used are scattered everywhere, and they are never stored or put back in their original places.

After seeing it, the children don't know that this is not correct, they just think that my parents have done it, and I can do it too. Many times, after watching TV, parents put the remote control in random, and the nail clippers after cutting their nails are also casually placed.

These behaviors may seem innocuous to parents, but when children see these behaviors and keep them in mind, they will automatically acquiesce: things that are used up do not need to be cleaned up.

Reason 2. Parents' swept up

It is said that no matter how old you are, you are still a child in the eyes of your parents. Parents always regard their child as a little baby. When they see the toys littered everywhere, parents think that there is no need to accuse the child, just clean it up a little.

There are also some parents who have also tried to communicate with their children, but to no avail, they can only work tirelessly to clean up the toys for their children.

In their own eyes, this one-handed arrangement by the parents is just a trivial matter, but in the eyes of the child, this is not what it means. The child will feel: anyway, he is a child, it doesn't matter if he cleans up or not, even if he doesn't clean up, his parents will help him clean up.

Reason 3. Excessive Satisfaction

Nowadays, the economic income level of parents is not bad, and they will provide their children with better material living conditions as much as possible, and toys will be easily satisfied.

Various educational toys, cars, building blocks, etc., are countless. Parents hope to let their children feel the love from parents by buying toys for their children and meeting their needs. Therefore, there are a lot of toys to buy for children.

Let's not talk about whether children can clean up this pile of toys by themselves, even parents are a little tiring to clean up. The more satisfied children are, the more choices they have.

When many children play, they don't play with whichever one they want, but put all the toys out in one go. The child is having fun playing, but the scattered toys all over the room make the parents who have packed them complain a lot.

How do I get my child to pick up their own toys?

1. Limit demand

The toys at home are not only piled up in the bedroom, on the shelves, but also in several large baskets. But in fact, children don't need so many toys at all, and they can't play with them. Instead, they need to spend too much time and energy to clean up.

Therefore, it is not necessary to buy too many toys for children, just buy one or two toys of the same type, so that children will not pour out all the toys because they do not know how to choose because of too many toys.

In addition, children do not have a clear goal or plan when they play, and they just enjoy the satisfaction brought by "a large number" when they hold a lot of toys in their hands. Parents can guide their children. When playing with toys, they can't put all the toys out, but only take one or two.

If you want to play with other toys, you need to take the toy in your hand back to the original place before you can continue to play the next toy. The scope of toys also needs to be limited to children, not being able to play everywhere, and dividing children's entertainment and play areas, so that there will be no toys everywhere.

2. Toy classification game

Parents can prepare two different colored storage boxes for their children, one blue and one pink. The blue storage box is used to store hard and larger toys, remote control cars, plastic toys, etc.

Pink toys can be used to store soft toys such as dolls. Such a classification is easier for children to understand and remember, and it is easier for children to find a sense of accomplishment in the process of classification.

3. Protect the children's "cleaning up" results

Possibly, children's tidying is not as neat, orderly and beautiful as parents' tidying up. However, parents cannot directly adjust the fruits of labor that children take the initiative to clean up. This not only destroys the achievements of children, but also destroys the enthusiasm of children.

For the places where the child does not do well, parents can suggest changes to the child, let the child decide what to do, and respect the child's decision.

Share cute baby growth message:

"Cleaning up toys" is an ability that every child should have, but this ability is not born, but is gradually cultivated in later family education.

Parents should also lead by example at ordinary times, so as to provide a good example for their children. When children take the initiative to clean up toys, parents should also praise their children and arouse their enthusiasm.
