The educational wood toys that you buy for your kid has a great influence on his growth because what he sees in the toys are the first inputs into his brain and they make quite an impression. The first things he learns will likely last over the years unless there are major changes in the kid’s life later.
For example if the baby toys you buy him have to do with toy guns and other toy military weapons, like toy tanks, toy helicopters, and so forth and so on, the kid will likely develop a love for the military life. Most little boys even like to play soldiers if you have noticed in their games pretending they are armed fighters with just about anything they can use as “guns” in the kiddy battles all over the house.
It is normal for a little boy to love soldiering. The craft must have an appeal to the male instinct; only the little boys play soldiers with others in the neighborhood. The girls do not like the war games of the boys at all; they would rather play mothers to their dolls.
If your are in the military service yourself, a dream you had always nurtured from your boyhood days yourself, it is now wonder if your kid is now emulating his dad. When he sees you in that uniform leaving for work in the morning and driving away in that military jeep, he holds you in awe with wide-eyed interest in that camouflaged fatigue uniform of yours.
He is most likely to turn to his mom after you leave, asking her when he can have his own uniform like the one you are wearing. Your wife will surely call you on your cell phone even while you are still driving on the road to relay the request of your little soldier for the fatigue uniform; she makes it appear as urgent, so you have to think of a way to secure one for the little boy.
There are kiddies uniforms anyway at the military tailor’s place in the camp so you can get that in the afternoon if you can go home after work. That will depend of course if you have no urgent mission to attend to which might prevent your going home as military duty calls as a first obligation before you can have any plan of going home.
Just be careful in over-indulging your kid on the military toy weapons you always try to buy for him. It can develop some aggressiveness in him, which might be too much for a little boy. These are sensitive aspects you have to consider, especially because your little boy also love to watch fight scenes on television.
The aggressiveness developed in the little boy might lead to problems later when he grows up to his teenage years. If you are not careful, this possibility might create problems that are more serious for you later. This is the downside of making a kid play with educational baby toys connected to the craft of soldiering. |
