20."Mummy,I don't know what to play with."Steve interrupts his mother,who is talking to a friend,for the fourth time."You've got a room full of toys!"his mother says,impatiently.In fact it is thejumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve's lack of interest in his dolls,cars and stuffed (packed) animals.Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor,listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother's desk or following her into the kitchen saying:"Mummy,I am bored."
A family therapist (心理醫(yī)生) explains why children lose interest when they have a whole"toy shop"at home:"According to their brain development,little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once.There is always just one favorite toy for the moment.All the rest is left lying about."What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys?Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child's knowledge.If he/she takes no more notice of a toy,a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away.Be warned though the child will always say he/she wants it then!A talk with relatives and friends may also help.Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie,and we like her way.A small set of shelves in her child's room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present) favorites.When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys,they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room.The box of"old"toys goes into the cupboard.When her child says she is"bored",they also get something from her cupboard-it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn't seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy.
Some favorite toys stay out all the time,and there is a collection of dolls which sits in the corner,but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something"fresh"to play with.
