Finding the right action figures to expand your kid horizon

When choosing between alternatives and action figures, video games and Internet use, parents should consider the following criteria:

-         Ensuring the safety of children

-         Choose the option that is appropriate for their age and ability

-         To forward-educational values 

-         Encourage play with other children. Although the game alone is good too when it is not unique, we must encourage the child to share recreational activities such as their action figures with other children the same age, so he or she will be more social and less lonely.

Play with the child

Children like to play with their parents, although not usual playmates at school. Actually, it is very important to play with them between 3 and 12 years mainly. This helps a lot to create the feeling of family and close relations.

Teaching how to use action figures and play

Children often cannot play. Do with them is a really good way to spark their imagination and creativity. One of the most important tasks of parents is to teach their children to play and correct use of toys, video games and the Internet, they can be role models for children. This is usually enough for the child to invent other ways of playing.

While there are parameters that influence positively on the child and instill him reject violence and respect for the environment, there are also those that can generate a selfish attitude in the child, such as buying toys that encourage individuality or that promote the desire to excel or are too sophisticated and can cause envy in other children their age. Say yes to basic collections of action figures.

Consumerism today

Most children today are victims of aggressive TV campaigns and feel the need to go to a particular store or toy store and buy this or that toy for the sake of having it and no longer need. If they already have action figures of a certain brand, want the new version if you already have a bicycle, want mountain model and so on ... the worst part is that due to fashion, upon completion of the fancy, are quickly forgotten toy and eventually quit.

In these cases, it is best to educate a young age, teach them to be realistic and selective in choosing the perfect gift and not be swayed by friends or the media. In this regard, parents should be firm and advise the child about action figures and other toys with love and patience.
