The Use of Outdoor Toddler Toys In Child Therapy
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

Child psychologists have identified that children have a tendency to develop a social phobia or social anxiety disorder during the toddler years. A social phobia is the persistent fear of embarrassment in public situations. A public scenario can be a talent performance, or speaking to strangers, or even eating and drinking in public places.

Toddlers are usually unaware of these situations and will usually go about their own playtimes. Some children, however, may have had a traumatic experience and may find it hard to be calm when outdoors. A constant fear of danger will always trigger a social phobia.

Social phobias can manifest in several physical reactions, such as sweating, diarrhea, blushing, crying and palpitations. The major concern of child psychologists for the phobia is that toddlers can not reason their way out of the phobia attack and will simply act in confusion with the physical manifestations of the phobia.

Child psychologists employ various therapies to relieve children of the phobia. Outdoor toddler toys are used to entice toddlers to start venturing outdoors on their own. Some of the outdoor toddler toys used are pull and push toys, lacing shoe toys, beginning pattern blocks, and pound and roll toys.

These toys use the simplest mechanism but can be used to relieve a toddler of pent-up stress and tension. Aside from enticement, the outdoor toddler toys refocus the child’s attention away from the public towards the toy. During therapy, it is important that the child be relieved from boredom by introducing new outdoor toddler toys once in while.

Outdoor toddler toys are more than playthings but are also helpful instruments for the treatment of mild social phobia in toddlers. These toys re-introduce the child to his environment and facilitate the development of his faculties by stimulation of the senses.
