The Toy Store around the corner is stacked with super heroes, cars and tools, princess and thumb sucking dolls, small kitchens and appliances, puzzles, soft toys, pianos and music instruments, beads, mobiles, angles wings and combat swords, pre-historic and farm animals, gardening tools, books and crayons – the Big World brought in reach of small hands.

On the back descriptions of 100%
recycled and/or environment tested materials used. The value of the toys
praised for durability, promoting physical and intellectual skills that can be
obtained within a certain age range.
Play dates became popular between
staying-at-home-parents, making use of the many indoor facilities for
pre-scholars. To some extend these Play Centres resemble the Toy Store around
the corner and might offer in addition squares filled with balls, slides and climbing
apparatus for energetic toddlers.
Daycare facilities carry the feel
of Toy Stores and Play Centers, with tables and chairs and mattresses added.
The young child is easily
entertained when offered the opportunity to explore, interact and share, the
parent or caregiver a reassuring beacon to observe, encourage and assist when
called for.
During the child’s interaction
with toys the parent/caregiver can find an ample of opportunities to build the
child’s self-esteem without hindering the child’s play. When the child exhibits
resistance or fear to try out unknown apparatus, the parent can invite the
child to try it out together, keeping in mind that the parent enters the
child’s world and not the other way around. The parent wants the child to have
fun, to experience a happy-place and to build a lasting childhood memory.
Comparing the child to other’s achievements and abilities can draw in a negative
or a competitive feel that deflates the child’s energy.
Allow the child to bring you into
his/her world of fun. Bring in laughter and respect and a non-judgmental attitude.
Value this gesture as an invitation to secure a building block of trust.
