You Are What You Played With
You can probably remember your favorite toy when you were a child. This is usually the one that you took to bed with you or carried with you wherever you went. Maybe without even knowing it, you probably had a type of toy that you played with most, be it balls or building block or perhaps it was toy cooking apparatus. These choices may have affected you more than you realise, as new research from the London Psychology Institute suggests we are strongly influenced in later life by our childhood toys. Here are the 3 main findings the study showed.
1. Those children who were encouraged to play with educational toys did not become more intelligent, but were more analytical in their approach to problems in later life. The research showed that learning toys encouraged patience and taught people to break down a problem into its simplest parts in order to overcome tasks
2. People who often played with dolls or toys that toys that had human qualities, developed better communication and interaction skills in later life. It is thought that by having a face that children could talk to whenever they wanted encouraged them to vocalise their thoughts and share their problems with their toys.
3. Probably the most controversial of the research's findings was that the adults who accrued the greatest wealth and had most confidence, where those who had access to toys at all times when they were growing up. This means if children played with bath toys, took toys out and about with them and had access to toys at friends houses etc, they became more successful in later life.
There is of course the argument of unknown cause and effect which could undermine this research potentially. For example, did the boy become more analytical by playing with his puzzle, or did he choose the puzzle because he was more analytical by nature? In reality its probably somewhere in the middle, but nevertheless the research is still quite revealing.
