Dolls are some of the earliest toys children played with. Their earliest use in Greece was recorded around AD 100. There is an explanation of why these toys will last so long across human history. These are the child's self-representation and help a child to gain a greater understanding of themselves and those around them.
Although conventional gender norms dictate that dolls for girls, playing with dolls may give children substantial development, regardless of gender.
Did you know a doll can build some valuable skills within your child? Following are some of them –
Social Skills
Playing with dolls solidifies the social skills learned during the early years of a child's development. When kids play home, they learn to interact and cooperate kindly. They learn the caring skills by playing with the doll.
Responsibility
Children also gain accountability through practicing essential social skills at a young age. While playing with barbie dolls, they know how to look after it. Learning this ability will help kids learn how to care for their pets, or older siblings understand more quickly how to care for their younger siblings.
Empathy and Compassion
Another important social skill that kids develop while playing with dolls is how feelings like empathy and compassion are handled. Much as caring for their doll teaches responsibility, it teaches them empathy for others around them and encourages them to develop into caring individuals. A barbie can be a perfect way to create scenarios of roleplay, chat about emotions, or even learn how to care about something.
Imagination
Dramatic play, the kind of play that occurs when kids play with dolls, helps grow an imagination of a child as they experience imaginative, imaginary situations with their dolls and other kids.
Language
Playing games with dolls as well as their peers, the kids run into different and exciting circumstances. Communicating among themselves may strengthen their vocabulary by filling it with functional words. Through engaging with their peers in this way, kids gain insight into home habits that might vary from their own. Thus, they are exploring the world around them.
Develops excellent motor and self-help skills
Playing with dolls helps to develop a sense of grooming and hygiene in your child. Your son improves thumb and index finger strength and accuracy as well as toning other fine motor muscles when dressing his doll. The child learns the process and sequence of dressing by clothing her doll-putting on shorts and tops, socks, and shoes; actions they will apply to themselves.
A doll plays an important in both boys’ and girls’ life. This imparts life-skills as it helps them to understand and interpret daily activities taking place in their homes or care centers. Awareness, sensitivity, empathy, and care are characteristics that we all want to see more of one another — as children or as adults. Start early and encourage your kids to play with dolls!
