Who has not heard that buying baby toys on the market is dangerous? They say that God knows what kind of paint used by manufacturers. Yes, and what must be confessed, sometimes very "smart" products even have a specific smell. But, even bearing in mind the old adage that cheap cheese happens only in a mousetrap, we in no way can not be sure that it is able to protect our children from dangerous toys.
I believe that it is very simple and rather only buy food in specialized luxury stores? You have no idea how you are mistaken. So, how do we cheat on children's toys?
Why do children so enjoy these horrible monsters?
Clumsily picked up the toy may cause a merciless hit from two fronts - health and psyche of the child.
You never thought about what so fond of our children play? Robots, transformers, monsters, bokugany, aliens and other fruit of a sick imagination.
Why do we, the adults, it causes misunderstanding and our children - wild delight?
On the shelves more frequently meet people, machines and mutants. Monsters and freaks become candid childhood favorites. And what could hide even Luntik (kindest hero cartoons for kids from 2 years old), too far from the character, which one would draw a sober, - violet, four ears. It is beautiful? Hardly. It is fashionable? Also no. But children in toy stores are asked to buy them is a plush purple monster for one simple reason - they already know Luntik from the cartoon. They know him.
Excuse me, but who draws, puts into the net television and allows kids to watch these same cartoons about super-modern monsters and robots, if not we - adults?
So who are we going to blame for the fact that these same monsters do to the psyche of our children, except on themselves?
laser sight
When the markets and in toy stores had small hand-held lasers and laser arrays, the children went crazy. It should be a "miracle" is relatively inexpensive, and, in fact, what harm can be from the usual beam that lets the kids on the wall, then at each other?
But the problem is that, as ophthalmologists say, this is the laser beam, which, incidentally, is mandatory attribute all kinds of pistols, rifles and other ammunition boyish, can not in principle Cleave. A concentration in such a beam more than dangerous, not only for children but also for adult eyes.
Doubt? Buy on a small laser market. Now Kiev is such a pleasure
Will still be engaged in self-deception and to convince myself that toy, capable to burn plastic, is not able to burn the retina of children's eyes?
plastic poison
The most common dangers faced by our children of - low-quality plastic, which is used for the manufacture of toys. Virtually any plastic or rubber toys, no, no, yes, and there is harmful to the child's body element. That saved on the glue, use cheaper, then in the paint, then added in the plastic is cheaper and harmful element. As the children play with toys at an early age? That's right, they all pull in the mouth.
Experts assure that the most dangerous toys - the ones that are made of soft plastic forms, the so-called "plastisol". Simply put, it is a more modern version of the rubber. This is literally littered with good markets and shelves of toy stores. For example, huge balls, which are so fond of small children jumping, inflatable horses, donkeys and other "charm". The paradox is that when a child tear this donkey ear (and he would always tear off if, Of course, a normal child) there is a strong likelihood that the place of the strain will evolve toxic substance.
How else in the store to test the quality of the toys?
If you are holding a low quality toy, you can guess it is still in the shop. There is a very simple and common punctures, typical for almost all low-quality toys.
Signs indicating that in your hands the poison?
- toy may seem tacky;
- sufficiently strong chemical smell;
- uneven rough surface (in the case of plastic products);
- unevenly applied paint (e.g., machines, vanes, buckets, etc.);
- rough seams (when it comes to soft toys);
- if it is plastic toy - paint traces may remain in the hands;
- if the toy myagkonabivnaya - on his hands remain traces of the pile.
What we risk?
We all know that poor quality children's toys are harmful to children's health. But what's behind the word "harm"? The specific risks to our children when we are in the house next teddy monster?
Pediatricians say: poor quality children's toys can cause allergies, respiratory diseases, prolonged cough, dermatitis and other skin diseases, toxic lesions of the mucous (if the child was pulling the toy in the mouth), lesions of the gastrointestinal tract (vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) and even gastritis.
Still not impressed?
Then let me remind you the result of the child's exposure to hazardous substances could be blindness and deafness. Musical toys are often "sing" with a capacity of 180 decibels, while as a threshold for children's ears only 65.
The whole table Mendleeva on the toy shelf
Even the toy seller in the markets recognize that the end of the day from a specific smell headache. What kind of shit is used in the manufacture of toys?
Most often used in toys:
- methanol;
- phenol;
- ethyl acetate;
- dibutilatsetat;
- toluene;
- Lead;
- ethylbenzene.
This scary list is endless. And believe me, an allergy - it is the most harmless than can end the game with these substances disguised as rabbits, bears and trucks.
Red color
Child psychologists are advised not to buy children toys red. Say, red causes aggression.
So, if you child is prone to aggression, put a taboo on toys red. At least for a time.
Wash stuffed toys
How often do you wash plush rabbits, bears and the rest of the living creatures that dwell in the children your child's room?
When a small child, and his teddy each day is in the ladle, in the apple puree bathing process occurs with surprising regularity. And when the child grows up? But on the advice of health professionals, soft toys should be washed at least twice a week. And not in the washing machine with a powder, and the usual childhood or soap.
So who is actually every
P.S.Count on the fact what your kids will play exclusively in a safe and educational games - stupid and naive. The more we prohibit and bring concrete, but it is absolutely disastrous argument: "But I was your age!", The greater the chance to strengthen the development of the child that same aggression. Just do not forget that kids play those toys that we buy them ourselves. Consequently, the what and how they play depends largely on ourselves.
