Toys For Tots

Most parents agreed that something bright and colorful was good for infants (Derryberry, Boster, & Lashae, 2015). This seems to be very important considering that infants are really developing their vision (Santrock, 2014). I also think a big part of this is because parents themselves feel like the better the toy is the more stimulating it is all around. Colors can make a simple toy look much more appealing. The parents also agreed that any kind of noise was sure useful (Derryberry, Boster, & Lashae, 2015). Parent with younger children seemed to be much more interested in this trait. Since infants mostly hear voices this brings into play how much the noise is for the child or the parent. One parent felt like

You can’t force a child to learn or be physically able to play certain games which aren’t cognitively, socially/emotionally, or physically appropriate for your child’s age and/or abilities. They also have to have the language skills to communicate with you or their peers when they are learning or playing. The whole child process cannot be forced. At the same time, you can’t expect your child to flourish and learn when they aren’t encouraged. The age appropriate toys have to be available along with play and time spent playing and interacting with peers for the whole child process to be a

The toy I chose is called “Fisher-Price Little People See 'n Say Farmer Eddie Says” and is pictured above. The point of the toy is when the child points the farmer in the middle towards an animal the noise the animal makes is played out loud. The toy is recommended for children ages 1 1/2 to 5 years old.

The types of toys children play with can affect how they develop. Toys can help or hinder a child’s development in intelligence, social skills and personality. Certain characteristics may be genetically entwined in a human being, but some characteristics and behaviors can be learned, from parents, surroundings, and the toys with which a youngster plays. Elise Moore, author of “How Do Toys Aid Development”, stated “if play is the work of the child, toys are the child’s tools” (Moore, 2).

It also gives children a sense of belonging and accomplishment. They feel that they are important especially if they are the main role. They feel like without them there will be no play. Sometimes children needs to feel special and there are times that children are from broken families and they do not get that feeling all the

They also tend to live in poorer housing, which may be overcrowded. They can sometimes lack the physical and personal resources needed to provide for their children in order to grow and develop. Progress will be slow and impaired if there is a lack of stimulation. Children often find it difficult to put things into perspective and may view the loss of a favourite toy on the same level as that of a death of a close relative

The Industrialization of America brought about improved transportation, manufacturing systems, and new job opportunities. The prospect of fortune led to an influx of immigrants, which in 1907 alone saw 1.2 million immigrants enter the United States and settle along the major cities on the East Coast (Chiodo & Meliza, 2014). The growing number of immigrants coming to America led to over crowdedness, and poor living conditions. The unhygienic living conditions and meager health care led to early deaths of working parents, leaving a growing number of orphaned or abandoned children behind.

First, toys that are too difficult for the child to solve or understand may cause frustration. This frustration may motivate some kids to continue or cause the majority to abandon the toy. Most importantly, toys need to provide an avenue through which the child can become exposed or practice the skills in their stage of development. For kids ranging from birth to two, toys need to help them practice primary, secondary, and tertiary circular reactions, as well as goal-directed behavior and eventually object

Take a seat, and think back to the very first Christmas morning you recall. How much it meant to receive that special toy you’ve been waiting for all year. Every child deserves to have that same tingly feeling of joy and excitement, but not every kid gets to. The Toys for Tots Foundation is an organization that aims to fix that, but they cannot do it alone. They can always use all the support they can. It is run by the United States Marine Core and they work to be the change. I support this noble mission by contributing toys to my community’s campaign.

To maintain relationships – Each time we talk to a child we are maintaining our relationship with them.

It creates an idea that they could avoid things that involve effort while getting what they want even if they didn't care to finish their tasks. Based on the text, "but our priority should be to make sure that kids know we're listening, that our relationship with them doesn't depend on the way they talk to us. Besides, young children, in particular, need to have some way of expressing their frustration. We don't let them hit, scream, or curse" (3). Accordingly, it implies parents cannot handle the children's behavior and let them get away with it.

“ CBS News suggest that parents choose toys for their toddlers and preschoolers that teach skills because a young child’s brain will grab hold of these permanent marks and carry through with them all the way to adulthood.” (Halter) These playthings not only teach skills, but confidence, because they learn to enjoy accomplishing any task they face.
