In order Toddlers Easily Bored Return Cheers

Tired of it can be experienced by anyone, including a toddler. If they have bored toddler, most parents would probably turn their attention to the toys. But what happens when bored too quickly to the point that they no longer want to be given the same toys every time you play?

According to child psychologist from the Institute of Applied Psychology, University of Indonesia Vera Itabiliana Hadiwidjojo, toddlers do tend to get tired more quickly than adults. This is because the attention span of a toddler, especially age 1-3 years, still short.

"So naturally if they get bored, fast switching," Vera said on the sidelines of the talk show "Play IQ ... Over Main" in Jakarta, Thursday (03/07/2014).

Even so, when a clever workaround parents, children who are easily bored tendency can be overcome. Vera said, there are two important principles so that children can be more enthusiastic to play and not get bored.

First, there should be assistance when children play. Assistance is needed so that children are stimulated to not only play the game in a way that's it.

"Parents need to be creative to think of ways to play the game in different ways. Example toys which way the game just stacked, can be rolled, twisted around, and so on. Colors of toys can also be sung," said Vera.

This assistance also aims to benefit children not only excited just from playing, but at the same time stimulated to optimize growth and brain development. Mentoring by parents who work can be done after work and on weekends.

This kind of stimulation will make the child trained to hone the creativity and spirit make it more experimenting. Parents also have to refrain from unduly limiting the child if the house is more cluttered because of their experiments.

Secondly, the toy should be played according to the criteria of the child's age. When the toys are supposed to be used for children one year but still given to children two years of age, the child will not feel there is a new challenge. That's what caused them to get bored.

Moreover, if a toy is not in accordance with the categories of age, the child may no longer benefit from the stimulation that he should be out of play.
