All around the world, in every country and for every child, it is important they receive the imagination and dreams they require. Is that too much to ask? Toys and games are a vital necessity in every child’s life. If the child earns the right to receive such expensive objects, then he/she should. If the parents can afford what they’re buying for their children, why should we have the right to stop them? Should we take into account for the money spent on sport? Toys and game assist you with your mental abilities too. Not all toys and games are overly expensive. People are generalising the amount of money spent, and is regarding it as ‘expensive’. The amount of money spent on toys and games is nothing compared to the amount people spend on even more useless objects. Spending too much money on toys and games is not losing your ability to communicate, nor is the amount money spent overly excessive.
Money paid for a child’s sport would be regarded as compulsory to a large majority of people. Obesity is a problem in Australia, as it is in many countries. Playing a sport keeps a child fit, and reduces the youth obesity problem that is occurring. Playing a sport not only affects a person’s fitness but affects their relationships too. Playing a sport, or even board games teaches you social skills. Games and toys such as puzzles can stimulate a child’s mind, which can allow them to gain more knowledge. Toys and games don’t just refer to computer or video games. A game like Monopoly teaches you the value of money. Having a Barbie doll is bad for a little girl’s future? These little girls are imagining a life they aren’t living, a chance to be someone else. Do you want to rob a child’s creativity and imagination away from them? Toys and games are just a matter of being played correctly.
How much is too much money? If they can afford it, then there should be no problem with buying such items, if the sum of money provides as an issue. Who said you had to get another iPod every time a new one is released? If you can still use the old one, then use it. Why should this prove as a problem to other people? People say things like, “What will you do with them when a new phone comes out? Or a new ipod? Or a new console?” The answer is simple. Don’t reduce to buying the new one simply because it is released. That is not a necessity. If a person can afford an object they want to purchase, then there is no visible problem.
The amount of money spent on toys should not even be compared to the amount other’s spend. People spend thousands and thousands of dollars on drugs, clothing, shoes and jewellery. Sheldon Cooper (of Big Bang Theory) once said, “Remarkable. Diamonds, crystallized carbon. Every day, people go to the grocery store and come home with sacks full of carbon in the form of charcoal briquettes that they toss in their barbeques and set on fire. But just because you’ve got some carbon with the atoms stacked neatly, you expect me to plunk down thousands of dollars.” Suddenly adults don’t feel the need to complain or create an argument if it refers to something they spend money on. What about a fancy car? You’re not a professional sports player or a celebrity, but an ordinary working Australian citizen. Why can’t you drive in middle-class car? This is the same type of question that people ask to children or teenagers who spend money on toys. It’s not fair, is it?
If a person can afford the amount of toys and games being spent, then it shouldn’t be regarded as a problem. Toys and games aren’t evil; they help you mentally, socially and physically. Toys and games aren’t just computer and video games, and are most definitely not just junky things spread out all over a kid's floor. They give you the ability to dream and imagine, to live a life that isn’t yours. This shouldn’t even be compared to the amount of money other’s spend on unnecessary items. The sum of money spent on toys and games aren’t excessively expensive. Copyright (2013) © moophooplurv.
