Teach your child to give using a stuffed toy

By: Wendy Tsao

Stuffed toys are child's most precious possession. A child creates special emotional bondage with his stuffed toys which makes it very difficult for him to give away. Stuffed toys are your child imaginary friend whom he can talk to when everyone else isn't present.
Many mothers have expressed concerns that they hear their children talking to their favorite stuffed toys, hugs them when they get back to school and take them to bed with them. What they don't understand is that their children are absolutely physiologically healthy and any thing else isn't. A normal healthy child opens up his senses to the world and communicates in his own way with his surrounding which might be difficult to understand from an adult point of view.
This emotional bondage that a child creates with his stuffed toy makes it very difficult for him to give away. It is a common word that we hear coming out of a child when someone asks him to give his stuffed toy "No, This is mine, Mammy got it for me". Mothers get troubled by hearing these words as they think that their children are growing selfish and not giving. They try to force their children into giving things away which creates a very harmful emotional experience in the child mind that might affect his whole future.
The right way to teach your child to give his old stuffed toys is to convince him that there are other children out there who are unprivileged as he is and they need these old toys more than he does. It is always a good idea to take your child to see other children in orphanages or children in poor neighborhoods where their parents can't get them any toys to play with to understand that they really need his old stuff. Invite your child to deliver his stuffed toys to these children and play with them.
Many might think that this would be a hard emotional experience for a child to pass but they are absolutely wrong. This experience will teach your children how to appreciate what they have and work hard to keep it. Also it strengths their social commitment to the society and make them effective contributing citizens.
It is always a good idea to reward your child for his good deeds by taking him to the toy store to get a new gift of his choice. This new toy will motivate him to do more good things to get new things. These actions will repeat until giving is a habit in your child behavior and will remain in his mind as a wonderful experience that gives him a good feeling of self esteem.
In order to make this experience more exciting for your child, Add some "I am proud of you son" flavor to the gift you give to your child after giving away his old toys. Transform your child drawing into stuffed toys adding a nice photo of you and your family and nice words to tell your child how much you love him. Rest assured that your child will always remember this stuffed toy for the rest of his life and it will be the first thing comes up in his mind when he does a good thing along with your sweet voice saying to him "That's my baby".
