Toys play a vital role in the development of children. Buying toys is an increasingly popular trend and every now and

then

parents buy toys resulting in a large number of toys with children.

This

essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of

this

trend. There are numerous advantages to having a lot of toys.

Firstly

children learn to self-educate themselves.

For instance

, for working parents, it is hard to devote too much time to children; in

such

cases children can remain engaged with toys and try to learn on their own and stay in a calmer mood.

In addition

to learning, children are not addicted to mobile phones which is the major issue in today's world causing stressed eyes and minds.

For example

, a recent article in ¨Times of India¨ states that in 2018, nearly 70 per cent of Indian children in big cities of India were addicted to mobile phones and complained about eye-related problems .

such

manner, they value materialistic things more than their friends.

,

such

kids want to play with toys sitting at one place and are,

therefore

, deprived of physical activities and

hence

have dull physical health. In conclusion,

this

essay discussed both the advantages and disadvantages of children having a large pile of toys . While there are benefits of having enormous toys, the drawbacks should not be overlooked.
