Few toys, kids easier to concentrate?

A new scientific research published in the American journal shows that when playing with a smaller number of toys, the ability to concentrate and creativity of children is also raised.

Quartz news agency conducted research results published in the Infant Behavior and Development magazine by the research team of graduate student Alexia Metz, Toledo University, Ohio State (USA).

The research team conducted surveys with children aged 18-30 months in two different research conditions: the first condition, children play with 16 toys and the second condition, with only 4 items play.

Accordingly, they realize that when there are fewer toys, children have a "higher quality" play . Specifically, when there are only 4 choices, children also think of many different, more flexible ways to play than when they have 16 choices.

The researchers concluded: "This shows that when given less toys, children will spend longer time playing with an item, which will also help them focus more on the area of ​​discovery and The play is also more creative.

This can be used as a recommendation in many other natural environments to support children's development and encourage healthy play. "

The study also draws an interesting conclusion: the fact that children can play longer with an item also means they will play more creatively, and that the increased playing time will also help them increase the amount of time focus - a possibility that is difficult to reach in toddlers as young as the children involved in the study.

In fact, toys are not important by playing . If parents take the time to instruct their children to find ways to play for themselves, they will learn a lot of things in life without being sure other expensive toys can make that effect.
