Find out why your child collects something special and the good habits that this practice brings.
They can be colored pebbles, cards, leaves of peculiarly shaped trees, butterfly wings, carts, coins and even the famous mugs: children love to collect things and they keep all this as a precious treasure. But why do they do it?
From a young age, we began to know our preferences and fixations: a child who collects insects, for example, could specialize in a future career related to biology, or one who collects carts may want to study engineering when he grows up.
Perhaps your child prefers to collect cards or the famous stamps that serve to complete an album: this type of hobby works more in a social environment; that is to say, the decals are a vehicle that the child uses to interact with other children of his age.
Another reason is mere entertainment: many children like to collect action figures, t-shirts, or other objects from their favorite series, thereby seeking to define their personality. This hobby could only last during his childhood or keep it as an adult.
Whatever the reason, the truth is that when they become collectors, children adopt very beneficial habits and customs for their development, including order, responsibility, perseverance, patience and they also stimulate their memory capacity and organization.
Does your little one like to collect something special? We recommend that you motivate him, as long as there is an effort on his part so that he can exercise the values that we have mentioned.
