“Choose educational toys, not gadgets, for young children”
⁠
Thesis:
in this day and age many parents give gadgets as play suggestions for children. although gadgets have many interesting learning applications, gadgets can actually have a negative impact rather than a positive impact. therefore parents should choose educational toys as a better alternative for children's development.
Argument:
Firstly, conventional educational toys can help children develop their fine and gross motor skills. Playing with stacking blocks, puzzles or beadwork exercises their hand-eye coordination, and playing with a ball, tricycle or jump rope exercises their gross motor skills.
Secondly, educational toys enhance children's imagination and creativity. Toys such as legos, and crayons give children the freedom to develop and convey their ideas, in contrast to gadgets that tend to limit children to content they already know. The development of problem-solving and creative thinking skills is essential for early childhood.
Thirdly, educational toys may help children learn social skills. When children play with traditional toys with friends or family, they learn to share, communicate and empathize. In contrast, the use of gadgets tends to make children individualistic and interact less with their surroundings.
Recommendation:
Given that educational toys are very helpful for child development, parents should be smarter when choosing toys for their children.
