近日，美国托莱多大学研究人员招募了36名儿童，让他们每次玩玩具30分钟，平均每人有近90个玩具。试验过程中，有的被分到三四个玩具，有的分得16个玩具。他们得到的玩具中，至少1/4为电池驱动类。观察并记录受试儿童的表现后，研究人员发现玩具少的孩子更有想象力、创造力，更不容易分心；玩具少的孩子与玩具多的相比，玩玩具时间多一倍。研究人员表示，玩具少会提高孩子玩玩具的质量，“迫使”他们开发玩具的不同玩法。“深度开发”玩具，有助于提升想象力、表达能力、执行能力和情感发展。

Recently, researchers at Toledo University recruited 36 children to play toys for 30 minutes each time, with an average of nearly 90 toys per person. In the course of the experiment, some were divided into three or four toys and some were divided into 16 toys. Of the toys they get, at least 1/4 is a battery - driven class. After observing and recording children's performance, researchers found that children with less toys were more imaginative, creative, and less distracted; children with fewer toys had more time to play with toys than toys. The researchers say that less toys can improve the quality of children playing with toys and "force" them to develop different toys. "Deep development" toys help improve imagination, expressive ability, executive ability and emotional development.

    

    

因此，家长给孩子选择玩具时，一要注意数量，二要注意质量。数量方面，家长在孩子每个年龄段为其提供三四个玩具就够了。玩的时候一次最好只拿出一个，让孩子不受外界干扰。质量方面，并非越贵越好，价格高的玩具不一定能激发孩子的主动探索能力与想象力。孩子的玩具应该是“高价值、低价格”，比如积木、豆子、废纸、沙、土、水等，这些玩具可塑性强，有多种玩法，能极大地发挥孩子的主动性和创造性，有利于“伙伴共玩”和“亲子共玩”，不仅能促进亲子关系和谐，还能提升孩子的冒险能力、团队合作、抗压能力等。

Therefore, when parents choose toys for their children, one should pay attention to the quantity, and two should pay attention to the quality. In terms of quantity, it is enough for parents to provide three or four toys for each age of their children. When you play, it's best to take one out at a time so that the child is not disturbed by the outside world. The quality, not the more expensive the better, the high price toys do not necessarily stimulate the children's initiative and imagination. Children's toys should be "high value and low price", such as building blocks, beans, paper, sand, soil and water, these toys strong plasticity, a variety of gameplay, can greatly exert children's initiative and creativity, is conducive to "partners to play" and "parent-child play", not only can promote harmonious parent-child relationship, can enhance children's adventure ability, teamwork, compressive ability.
