In an age of plenty, we can offer our children more and more choices: countless toys, endless clothes, endless food... But does a childs happiness increase with more choices?

  A, no! The more choices, the less happy the child is likely to be

  In a park, a small boy is quiet on the swings, at this moment he saw no one on the slide beside, dadada to run to come over to play slide, opposite to see children playing on the seesaw away, the little boy hurriedly abandoned slide again, rushed to seesaw... (pay attention to WeChat subscription no. : duo mom parent-child time, talk about parent-child parenting things)
  When another little girl came over to play on the seesaw, the little boy jumped down from the seesaw and rushed to the swing. The little girl did not comply, the little boy pushed her, the little boys mother was very angry: "eating the bowl, looking at the pot, have you so greedy? The little boy gave a cry!
  In fact, little boys are not greedy, and when there are more choices, it is difficult for children to get 100% happiness from these choices.
  For example, when playing on a swing, a child might think, "Im going to play on the slide later." I saw the seesaw when I was playing on the slide. Finally, seeing someone come to play on the seesaw, the child suddenly remembered the good swing: "I wont play on the seesaw, I will play on the seesaw!"
  So many choices distract the childs attention that his happiness is reduced and his happiness is reduced.
  If a child doesnt have much to choose from, and can only play on a swing or a slide, he can enjoy whatever he plays.
  Second, the more choices a child has, the less likely he or she is to focus

  The downside of having more choices is that your childs focus is lower.
  The psychologist Barry m. Schwartz did this experiment:
  In the study, he randomly divided children into two groups to draw. The first group could choose one of three brushes, and the second group could choose one of 24. The children in the second group did much worse than those in the first group.
  The children in the second group were more likely to give up the pen they had chosen.
  We often think that the more we provide for our children, the happier they will be. Too many choices, but will let the child in front of the choice chaos, do not know what they like most, after getting more do not know how to cherish.
  Three, avoid excessive choice, what should parents do?

  1, toys are no more, no less, just right
  Too many toys, not only easy to let the child distracted, but also to the childs intellectual development.
  So how many toys should you give your kids?
  Virginia scholars in the United States think it should be five.
  The reason is that when there are less than 5 toys, children may suffer from inferiority complex. But when there are more than five, children are more easily distracted and limit their creativity.
  Toys no more, no less, the child in the scope of choice, focus on their favorite toys, repeated research, pondering, thinking, create a variety of new ways of play, then the value of toys can be maximized use.
  Some moms may struggle to decide which five toys to keep for their kids.
  In the process of childrens growth, these types of toys can be called classic, the most meaningful for childrens growth --
  1) assembling toys (building blocks, snowflakes) : simple in style and changeable in play, babies and big babies can play;
  2) sports toys (small balls and carts) : besides fun, it can also promote childrens action development;
  3) doodle toys (paintbrush, colored paper) : every child is the best painter and can give full play to his/her infinite imagination;
  4) plush toys (dolls, teddy bears) : will be given life by the child, the first childhood playmate;
  5), music toys: (toy drum, toy piano) : let children listen carefully to different sounds.
  2, clothes do not covet more, less but better is the best choice
  If, you are the mother that loves prodigal family, see good-looking childrens outfit to be able to do not have resistance completely, the dress in the home has pile-up into hill, still cannot help buying to the child buy buy, so, when you see full chest, full room mixed and disorderly dress, whether can you feel oneself too impulse, lack reason too?
  Psychologists in Japan have suggested:

  For children over 4 years old, there are no more than 5 sets of clothes in each season, or even less, which can fully meet the needs of children. In the meantime, the shoe that provides to the child, do not need to exceed 3 pairs (include household slipper), cap does not exceed 1.
  Maybe some mothers will say: "my child is small, 5 sets is not enough!"
  So can little namely little, as far as possible streamline, can satisfy actual need can.
  In particular, dont buy too many clothes for your kids just because they are cheap.
  A tidy room allows children to be more engaged in play and exploration. Living in a space full of clothes and toys is more likely to make people feel bored and depressed, and their mood will be affected. They are more likely to be irritable and impatient.

(1 passage three)

  "More is more, less is more". In addition to toys and clothes, we should also follow the principle of "less but better" when providing other materials to our children. We should make the best use of every item and give full play to its maximum use, so as to bring more happiness and satisfaction to our children.
