We need to be careful when your child is only interested in a toy because it can-can disrupt the growth of other aspects. For example, he just likes to play ball. If only that-that’s all he played and he did not want to play with other toys, it is possible that the cognitive aspect failed to be gained from games such as puzzles or stacking blocks, so your children are not exposed to many things and it will be resulted in their development.

Overcome it, there’s nothing wrong with finding out why your child really like balls, perhaps because his father liked to watch or play football as well. Nevertheless, we must not stop there. Try to always be actively offered alternatives of other toys. For example is blocks with interesting colors or small houses are equipped with furniture for your child to hone the art of the soul.

Well, when they are shifted to the other toys but still like the same toys, then we must be cautios. Especially if your baby look as if they are obsessed, like just like toy trains made by fire, to always ask to see a train station to the original. It is a good idea to bring your child to consult an expert to avoid the things that we do not want.

Small children should always tell the truth, maybe you think so. Then few children are already good at lying?

The reason may be that the child wants something that can only be gained by lying. For example, the children claimed to have to do homework because they want to be watching TV. Other causes can be because he wants to protect himself from a certain punishment. Parental behavior could be imitated by the child. You might sometimes lie in front of your child. So, what’s the solution?

1. Immediately straighten and do not give children the opportunity to lie again. Embed this consistently that lying is the behavior that should be avoided because it will harm themselves or others. He could no longer be trusted by his friend, his friend did not want to play together, and others. That way, children should know why lie should not be done.

2. We may charge a penalty if their child is lying but that are educational, such as restrict access to watch favorite movies, do not buy the comic they wanted, etc.
