Toys are very attractive to every child, even if they already have toys in their hands, they will grab other people's toys, which makes many parents feel particularly embarrassed. However, no matter what adults say, children just don't listen and love to grab toys. Many parents feel helpless when encountering such children. So, what if the baby loves to grab toys?
What should I do if my baby loves to grab toys
1. Teach children empathy
Teaching children empathy is very simple. When they are having a great time playing with a child, suddenly taking away their toy and taking the opportunity to make them understand that if their toy is stolen, they will not be happy, and if they steal someone else's thing, they will definitely be unhappy as well. Only when children experience the negative emotions of being robbed firsthand, can they truly put themselves in others' shoes.
2. Help children establish a sense of rules
Without rules, there can be no harmony. It is necessary to help children establish a standardized code of conduct so that they will not make mistakes in their future interpersonal communication. Especially for children who love to steal others' things, parents should pay more attention to regulating their behavior. Tell the child not to steal someone else's belongings casually, and if they really like it, they can discuss it with the other person. If simple preaching doesn't work, you can make a promise with the child that if they steal something from someone else, they will also have a toy confiscated and put it into practice. In this way, the child's sense of rules will become stronger and stronger, and they will no longer snatch others' things in the future.
Reasons why babies love to grab toys
1、 Freshness is causing trouble
Children have limited cognitive abilities. When they see someone holding a toy, they will definitely find it fresh and fun, and cannot help but want to own it themselves. Just because I really like it too much, I behaved a bit too aggressively.
2、 Possessiveness erupts
When children's self-awareness gradually emerges, they easily become self-centered and believe that everything is their own, without realizing that there may be a difference between "themselves" and "others". That's why they take anything they want without any hesitation. That is to say, many children who like to steal other people's things also have a strong possessiveness.
What should I do if my baby loves to grab toys? When babies are young, they don't understand what it means to be worldly wise, so they will always have what they want. At this time, parents need to guide them. Family is an environment for children's growth, and parents are the role models for babies' learning. Therefore, whenever a child's bad behavior is discovered, it must be corrected in a timely manner so that the baby will consciously say that it is wrong.
