Respect children's opinions
Children's opinions should be fully respected when sorting toys, and they should not be forced or threatened. Especially when discarding toys, children should be told why to discard them, and their consent should be sought. As for those "outdated" old toys that children still cherish and firmly express their unwillingness to dispose of, it is advisable to keep a few.
Toys have rules
The things that the baby plays most often are placed in the places where the baby can freely take and put them. Only when the child can get the things he wants to use, can he become more independent. The arrangement of toys also pays attention to rules. For example, heavy toys should be placed at the bottom, so that when children go to get them, they won't hit them; The movable articles that are easy to get dirty (paint, crayons, clay, colored pens) should be placed on the upper layer, so that the baby will not get them at will. Parents should also teach their children to put text or picture labels on the containers so that children can easily identify the toys in the boxes. Gradually, children will learn how to classify, organize, and cultivate the good habit of returning things to their original places.
Be patient and guide good habits
If the attitude of command, urging, reprimand, punishment and threat is always connected with children's play and toy arrangement, the result is that children do not want to play or clean up. When the clever mother encountered the scene of toys being scattered everywhere, she did not make a frown, but smiled and said to him with a happy expression: "Oh, how happy you are!" And take advantage of this atmosphere to add another sentence: "The small toys are going home to sleep, come on, let mom clean up with you!" In this way, the education of playing and sorting toys can be combined easily and happily.
Encourage children to exchange toys
No matter how good the toy is, the child will be tired after playing for a long time. If he is tired, he will not cherish it. It's better to make friends with several children of the same age, set a toy exchange day together, encourage children to exchange toys they don't want to play with, and adults should not interfere or give too much advice to children in the exchange process.
Make toy cleaning day
Make sure that a certain Sunday of each month is the toy cleaning day. When children are cleaning, parents can act as instructors and observers to let children turn toy cleaning into a game.
