What gift should I give a ten-year-old boy?

/kloc-Is the 0/0-year-old boy his own child or the children of relatives and friends?

My observation is that after the birth of the first child, children in China will receive many gifts every birthday, most of which are toys. But education experts all agree that too many toys are not helpful to children's education and happiness. Children's development experts point out that too many toys at home have two disadvantages:

1. There are too many toys and children enjoy too many resources, which is not conducive to cultivating creativity. A child with only one toy will come up with 10 ways to play. There are 10 children's toys, and each toy can only be played in one way. Too many toys form a distraction factor, which is not conducive to children's concentration.

2. When there are too many choices in the game room and one building block can't be covered properly, children will tend to play with another toy instead of trying to solve the problem.

Therefore, if you are your own child, it is better to give "experience" than "toys" when giving gifts. Send a gift that can satisfy children's personal interests: give painting lessons to children who love art, or go to an art exhibition together; For children who love sports, they can send a swimming class or watch a sports event on the spot; Instead of giving a child who likes animals a plush toy, take him to the zoo for a day. You can also let your children choose the "experience" they want: maybe taking the train, going to a fancy restaurant, or going to video games.

Such a gift is not only an experience, but also a memory. Parents and children together is an irreplaceable happy time. It's also a good idea to order your own magazines for your children. Many years later, most children won't remember what toys they received on their birthday, but they will always remember you playing in the park on your birthday.

If you are a child of a relative or friend, you can also refer to these ideas and give a "non-toy" gift:

● Tickets for zoos, aquariums, museums and botanical gardens.

● Talent courses that satisfy children's personal interests, such as swimming, gymnastics, dance, judo, musical instruments, painting, pottery, handicrafts, etc. Are all good choices.

Non-toy gifts, such as books, board games, diaries, music CDs or movie DVDs, magazines for one year, etc.

● Supplies that satisfy children's personal interests, such as painting tools, recipes, binoculars, gardening tools, etc.
