Toys play a very big role in the typical world of a child. But the great importance and impact the toys have on our children are often underestimated. Of course it makes a difference if the toys teach our children some things or if they just entertain them being useless in terms of education at the same moment.
All this is the field of research I am into, but in this article I will mainly focus on dolls as typical toy for our youngsters and all the extras like buggies (German: Puppenwagen) for them. The concept of a buggy was developed in Germany to some extend and Germany is one of the countries with the biggest percentage of offsprings having Puppenwagen. Thus in this article I try to summarize the German idea why your youngsters should get a Puppenwagen.
Some people might say that one should not spend to much for the care for the dolls. The amount of money you have to pay for a beautiful doll is quite a lot anyway, so why should one invest more in extra things for the dolls. A lot of parents will accepts their children playing with dolls, but not understand the idea of treating the dolls almost like real humans and buying extra stuff for them.
Thus children learn that if you have a puppet or child it is not only about that. It is also about many other stuff the puppet needs like any other real human being also needs many other equipment. You should not be too scared that you child will also ask for many more utensils. important in a puppet's life. Children will still understand the difference between a puppet and a real child. And if they ask you to buy more things for their puppets you might explain that puppets do not need that many things. But encourage them to buy this later for their real children.
It might only be a puppet and most parents some parents might even feel a bit jealous and wonder why their child cares about the puppet much more than about themselves. But this behaviour is simply caused by the fact that from the viewpoint of a child the parents seem rather like heroes and thus they also seem to be able to look after themselves. So instead of just being amused about the Puppenwagen ideas one should think it through first and regard the possible educational benefit. - 29958
