Seven-year-old boys no longer want plain toddler toys for pure entertainment, rather, their brains require more demanding and challenging tasks. At this age, kids are thirsty for knowledge and their curiosity and imagination are at the highest level.
There are many emotional and social milestones at this age period, as well as the development of their empathic feelings. They are able to manage their emotions and choose better their field of interest.
The parent’s job is to recognise the potential they have and encourage them in the pursuit of the ideal age-appropriate toy. This will increase their knowledge and thus boost their confidence both in school matters and while playing with their friends.
While some kids prefer their digital toys, others stick to the classical ones and enjoy a jigsaw piece puzzle, riding a scooter, building and constructing, or taking pictures in the park.
