As we hurtle towards Christmas, parents and grandparents can find themselves struggling to decipher children’s wishlists
Parents are being encouraged to make-an-effort with kids and get to know the ins and outs of their world of toys, as it’s a great way to build their confidence, according to a child expert.
Amid the ever-evolving world of kids' toys and characters, grown-ups are struggling to keep up. To most adults, keeping up with your little one’s new favourite toy universe can feel like trying to learn a new language, when almost three-quarters of respondents of the new poll of 1500 parents feel that their child has already moved onto a new craze before they’ve had the chance to fully understand the last.
“In this fast-paced world, it can be hard for parents to find time and space to connect with their children and even harder when they feel like they’re struggling to keep pace with the latest crazes and interests. Children’s development moves so fast and it can often feel like we are playing catch-up, as they move on to new skills and interests,” says Dr Kilbey, who specialises in work with children and adolescents.
