Bags for toys have proven to be a major set-back for families.
This has resulted to parents minimizing on the number of guests they welcome to their homes. Toy bags carry with them misgivings that have erased the real purpose of their existence. Among many, below are just but a few of those predicaments.
Sends wrong message - Parents are swayed into believing that the bags are there to replace the junk that they already have. This means that they think their toys are not good enough and that is why a visitor would come in with the toys.
Brings in intervention - A parent's thoughts when a visitor sits down with their child, together with the toy bags, are that their child is receiving teachings.
This implies that intervention takes place during this time.
The parent forgets that caregivers are there for emotional and informational support.
Children's progress - If used persistently, the bags will attribute to parent's judging the progress of their children on the way they interact with other people who are not family members.
This happens in contrary to judgment on interactions with the caregivers that come every now and then.
Taking away the toys -The user of the toy bag will lean on the misgiving that the toys are there to ensure that intervention takes place.
This happens because at the end of the play session the toys will probably be taken away.
Triadic play - Another disadvantage that comes about because of the toy bag is that it implies that the visits are not focused on their agenda and instead they focus so much on triadic play.
This means that the visit changes its focus to the visitor plus the toys and the child.
this brings out clearly the fact that the child will bond more with the visitor than the family members or parents during the triadic play.
Rarely will you find parents playing with their children because they have shifted their minds to believing that someone else should be doing it.
Therefore, if you look at it from a busy parent's view, these toy bags and the visitors replace your role and your child lacks the affection that you should offer during play and other activities. Parents have become enslaved to their work instead of dedicating more of their time trying to know more about their children, what they like or do not like and what makes them laugh or cry.
