Play Time of Your Tiny Tot- Safer Around These Modern Toys

Kaumarabhritya: an Indian escort to the fostering of a child. And commonly known as 'Bala Chikitsa' has its origin in Ayurveda. Including nutrition, proper postures, and how to explore the world, it has particularized its guides in every way. This also helps us to understand the role of playing for an infant. Since babies cannot speak, it isn't easy to know what is crucial in their being, especially for the new parents who are getting to know their little ones. Ayurveda saves us a cut! By conveying what we would never be able to learn about otherwise.

'Kreeda' In Ayurveda 

Play is intrinsic to a baby's life. It is the medium through which they interact with the world. We generally limit it to the idea of the right age to play, but it extends to a lot more. Ayurveda defines Play as 'Kreeda: a child's fundamental right.' The Play introduces the first feeling of enjoyment; it is the planet for creativity and imagination, allowing them to experience life lessons. For instance, when they accomplish or find it challenging to do something. These are the essential traits in the growth and development of their body and cognitive mind. Baby treats play as a medium of expression until they develop language skills. You might have seen them throw something if they feel annoyed or curl their fingers around a toy when they like it. The easiest one to understand is when they intend to rub their gums on toys to indicate the irritation they are feeling during the teething stage. They hence use Play as a stress-releasing mechanism as well.

Five Qualities Of Ideal Baby Toys

 Vichitrani (Different Varieties): Different sizes and shapes attract an eye of a baby. A toy should be thought-provoking, colorful, and interesting for a child. 

 Ramanya (Good Looking): Play article shall induce a positive feeling in a child. The ones depicting violence may distort their personality and behavior negatively. 

 Aguru (Handy): A heavy toy is no use for a child if they are unable to play with it. The light weighted toys help them to manipulate accordingly and give them a chance to show their creativity.

 Ateekshnaani (Devoid of Sharp Edges): A toy should not possess any sharp edges. Toys with tiny screws, buttons, and edges are dangerous for the child. During the infant stage, a child tends to naturally put everything into the mouth.

 Ruchi (Curiosity): A toy should develop cognitive temptation in a child according to age. A moving toy might be more fun for a toddler and not a neonate. The cost and complexity do not decide the best toy. The appropriate toy is the one that can produce maximum happiness for a child at that particular point.

Safe Toys And Modern Playing

Plastic toys are always attractive to kids because of their colors and features; however, they possess inescapable danger. Only the parent's heart would understand the situation when the baby cries over a toy. They want to buy it for them, but there is always an expectation of a safer alternative. Ayurveda has an answer to every dispute. Kashyapa Samhita has a section about 'Balkridankani Pishtamyani.' It teaches us about the safe materials from which playing articles are made for the infantile age. But it will not fit the modern aesthetics of toys which are now quite essential in our lives.
