My girlfriend recently complained to me: I have been accompanying my baby to the construction site for three consecutive days in the past few days to see the excavator. When walking around the bend a few days ago, Wa happened to see an excavator working on it and stared at it for a day.
As a result, I have been clamoring to see it, these days the spring breeze is particularly large, the construction site is full of soil, a blow up is very uncomfortable, and the girlfriend is in such an environment, accompanied by the baby to see the excavator for three days.
As a result, one day the excavator did not come, which made the child cry a lot, and the girlfriend was very helpless.
How obsessed is the little boy with excavators? Ten minutes of heat they can watch all day
Boys seem to like mechanical things such as cars and airplanes from a young age, such things often represent "strength", and as an excavator for heavy work, the appearance is cool, and the huge appearance reveals an innate sense of responsibility.
Many parents with baby boys at home will find that babies who can't sit still at home for ten minutes can "supervise" a day at the construction site without moving, dozens of excavator toys at home, and still have to argue about buying excavator toys when they go out.
The excavator can be described as both destroying and building, and it is also sonorous and powerful when walking, which is simply a mechanical device with a high degree of freedom of movement, so it is very attractive to boys.
Why do boys prefer excavators? Special preferences are normal psychological cognitive backgrounds
Psychological cognitive background
Children, especially boys, like to watch excavators have almost become a trend. The reason why boys like excavators is because they are very much in line with the characteristics of children's psychological development.
Usually when boys are 2 years old, they show great enthusiasm for excavators. They will have a fondness for excavator toys, and can even watch excavators all day on the construction site.
When children are two years old, it is the time of the rise of self-awareness, and children at this stage have the most basic ability to move, and the range of activities becomes larger. For parents, buying things for children at this stage has begun to appear "gendered".
Girls prefer to buy some dolls, while boys prefer to buy various mechanical vehicle toys. Excavator toys have the characteristics of disassembly and assembly, so that children can get a full sense of strength, children are easy to obsessed with such toys.
After seeing the excavator buddha, it will have another understanding of the excavator, the original excavator is so powerful, can demolish houses, repair roads, dig stones, in the real operation, the boy's inner sense of strength is once again satisfied, the brain will secrete pleasant neurotransmitters, and even can get addictive.
curious
Excavators are different from the usual small cars running on the road, it can be said that everywhere, excavators are often operating in the construction site, and the number is also very small, children are accustomed to running on the road of the car, once they see different models, there will naturally be a strange and mysterious feeling, so they will also stop to watch.
The process of the baby's obsession with the excavator is also the process of cultivating the baby's multiple abilities
Although boys are obsessed with excavators a bit "expensive", children can also cultivate children's various abilities in the process of watching excavator operations.
The ability to observe is improved
In the eyes of our adults, the excavator is really not ornamental, nothing more than digging and loading soil, the action is single and simple, it is really nothing to look at. But in the eyes of children, they will observe every detail of the excavator's work.
Like how to operate when digging, what are the characteristics of the bucket, these subtle changes will make the child see in the eyes, and in the process of observation, the child's observation ability is unconsciously improved.
Focus ability is improved
Many parents have found that when their children are looking at the excavator, they can't let him go, which is very rare for hyperactive children, you know, children in the early stage can concentrate on less than 10 minutes at most.
But when looking at the excavator, it is not a problem for the child to look at it for half a day, so compared to the so-called concentration game, watching the excavator to exercise the baby's concentration is simply as easy as a palm.
Imagination is enhanced
In the process of watching the excavator, the child will also imagine various pictures in his mind, like driving the operation by himself, and if he has blocks after returning home, he will also have the appearance of a building block patchwork excavator, and even some babies will have lines drawn.
These are the contents of the child's mind, and it is also the process of his imagination development.
The preference for excavators is not only for children, adults have the same hobbies
In fact, loving to watch excavators is not exclusive to children, and adults have the same hobbies.
Psychological experts say that from a psychological point of view, destruction and creation will be rooted in our unconscious, but because adults are more rational, these two desires will be controlled for a long time.
However, watching the excavator provides us with a window to vent our desires, and the subconscious desires are satisfied by watching the excavators, which can also be understood.
