 The psyche of children is such that they trustfully perceives all the information offered. Tons of information garbage are constantly falling on the minds of kids, which also includes various advertising. Blocks of advertisements on television, posters and banners on the street form a distorted idea of goods in a child and a desire to buy everything at once.
Many parents, sooner or later, put their child near the TV in order to distract the fidget a little from pranks and do household chores. However, uncontrolled viewing of television channels can play a very cruel joke. Advertising blocks are run between children's films and cartoons. Often, it is at this time that advertisements for toys, products, clothes for children and other goods that arouse the child's keen interest are deliberately launched.
Not all advertised products have the declared qualities. Healthy yoghurts may not be all that useful, and toys may even be dangerous to mental and physical health. What to do in this situation?
It is worth watching TV with your baby and prudently switching the channel during advertising. In general, given the modern possibilities, it makes no sense to show the kid cartoons on TV. Video recordings are now a great non-stop alternative. In addition, on the carrier you can see in advance what your baby will see. Pedagogically and psychologically thought-out video compositions are not always shown on TV.
Advertising is an unpleasant exception. It is psychologically thought out precisely in order to influence consciousness and force to buy a product. Modern toys can be very aggressive or simply pointless. By attracting a baby with the brightness of details or beautiful slogans, manufacturers form a pseudo-need for such a purchase in the child. Therefore, the choice of play aids for the baby is best done separately and to protect him from the biased information of toy manufacturers.
Of course, in the modern world it is quite difficult to control a growing child. When he is alone at home and already knows how to turn on the TV, it is difficult and should not be forbidden to him from doing this. At the age of 5-6 years, the child already begins to learn simple logical connections between events and certain selection criteria. This can be used to form the correct value system for goods and services. It is necessary to visually acquaint the child with the quality of the goods, their durability. You can buy the desired toy for a demonstration for a child and over time pay attention to the fact that it wears out quickly and breaks easily.
It is much more difficult to explain to a kid what the semantic content of a toy is. However, if you cultivate play and cognitive interests correctly, the child will be more inclined to meaningful toys. Fashion among peers is of particular importance when choosing among children. Sometimes you can make concessions so that the child is not forced out of the playing team and he does not feel slighted. However, it is necessary to form an understanding that fashion trends pass quickly, and classic gaming interests always remain. A stroller for a doll has not lost its relevance for centuries, and a toy car will always be a favorite toy of boys. You can put your child in front of a choice between toys and focus on the positive characteristics of the best product.
Remember that the child is already a person. He has his own ideas, desires and needs. Despite the fact that advertising can significantly distort the correct perception, it is worth paying attention to what the baby wants to buy.And of course, it is important to consider the relevance of toys for age and modern children's society. Teach your toddler to evaluate products objectively, even if they are advertised.
