Can boys play dolls

For caring parents, hobbies of a child have special importance. Moms and dads offer baby to choose a lot of toys. But it happens that the choice of a child is bewildered or even concern. For example, when the boy plays in the dolls. Is the situation when the boy prefers to machine and soldiers toy houses and dresses, consider in the article.

Gender differences

According to psychologists, up to three years, children do not have attachment to toys on sexual principle. Of course, the baby knows aware of who he is a boy or a girl. At the same time, he will choose the toy on the principle of interest. Therefore, the absolute majority of the kids love everything that rides (cars, the knots on the handles, strollers). And if a boy under three years old is interested in a doll - it can not have any reasons for surprise at all. This is extremely curiosity and study of the human body. Pups imitates a person, which means it can be seen on her hands, check how legs bent, wondering how the eyes are closed.

After three years, the boys often do not stop interested in dolls, but it is also quite normal, because with the help of such games the child gets a lot of new knowledge.

Why boy chooses dolls

In addition to elementary curiosity, there are few more reasons that can cause interest in puppet games:

• No mother's attention. If the baby does not have enough female attention, it unconsciously he will look for him in the plots of games using dolls as a prototype mother or grandmother.
• Protest against "male education". If the family adopted tough education methods, the boy is shaped for tears, constantly remind that he should be strong, suppress the true interests of the child, replacing them on traditional "men's" tools. It was not absolutely not called, and an intuitive child will choose girly toys to balance the heat of "masculinity."
• The family uses physical punishment, the father is rude with his mother or are demonstrated by other forms of aggression. The crumb is looking for calm, satisfies its need for comfort and comfort in a doll as in a live person.

• Lack of male education. If the boy does not have an example of male behavior, and around mom-loner and grandmother, then a priori toys become female items - kitchenware, mother's soft toys, grandma girls and needles. If the authority of the same grandmother is strong enough, then it can purposefully teach the child to women's work in order to raise the ambitiousness and hard work.
• All boys under the age of seven comes the period of admiration for women - they make a mother, sincerely envy female beauty, pay attention to appearance. Probably this period is now at your boyfriend. Look at his games with a doll - he can comb them, dress up, as well as kiss and hug. It is also quite natural.
• If the boy is in a circle of communication more girls or there are sisters, then games with dolls for him are also natural and logical, like games with boyish toys.

What can teach a boy doll

1. The kid identifies himself and his beloved toy. In games, he calls her his or very similar name, gives his own traits. The kid will unconsciously lose the situations that is disturbing - the quarrels of parents, visits to the hospital, the fear of darkness. With the help of a doll, the child tries to find output emotions, as well as overcome their fears.
2. Games in dolls chic on the imagination. Any role-playing game - a toy can be a bus driver, a patient at the reception at the doctor, a fireman or an educator in kindergarten - it all positively affects the development of thinking and speech. The boy can compose fairy tales with a doll in the lead role, and this is a direct development of a creative thought of thought.
3. Playing in the mother's daughter, the boys most often happen as dad. They greatly learn to rock a doll, feed, dress, roll on the stroller. This is an excellent simulator, especially if replenishment is expected in the house. In addition, the child unconsciously repeats the actions of the Pope or seen on the playground or visiting.
4. When a boy plays with a doll from the parent's position, he realizes his behavior, understands why he was punished and accepts the parent side.

Psychologists agree that the boy's doll is needed. You can buy it and a very small crumb, in this case the preference is worth paying with rag toys with clear features of the face. Let her smile, the kid will feel a friendly attitude of toys.

The boys after one and a half or two years can be bought a doll from both textiles and rubber, plastic or even a tree. Bright features of the face are also welcome, the most similar to the present human outlines. Let the toy face will not be bright emotions - sadness, laughter or surprise. The more neutral the expression of the face, the more the kid can invent with it.

The toy should be without gender signs (breasts, genitals), while this extra details in the game.

Errors of parents
