As we all know, boys are more interested in machinery, cars and other things full of industrial flavor than quiet and elegant girls, and the existence of excavators, whether it is the design full of mechanical beauty or its highly free control, will have a great attraction to boys and stimulate children's innate interest.
The charm of excavator itself and the magic of excavator also come from its own psychological schema about destruction and creation. The "destruction" here does not refer to the destruction of Xiong Haizi, but a kind of "destruction game", which children liked very much before they were five years old. They want to know what will happen after the building blocks are pushed down and the toys are released, so as to make a "manual" for their destructive behavior.
Excavators can just satisfy children's curiosity and exploration of "destruction". When excavators are working, they often have behaviors like "pushing down", "dumping" and "digging shovel", which satisfies the establishment of psychological schema of children's destructive behavior at this age.
Influenced by the environment, there are more and more movies about robots on the screen, and the most classic is the Transformers series. Boys naturally like this type, so when they see such a giant with a "robotic arm" in real life, children will naturally be attracted by it.
Children like excavators for many reasons, more out of curiosity. For example, there are often advertisements about excavators on TV, and the huge volume, sound and action of excavators will become their curious objects.
Fit the baby's sense of control and strength. After the baby's self-awareness sprouts, he will especially love to say "no" and often go against his parents. Sometimes even if TA is willing to listen to her parents, she has to say "no" first. At this stage, the baby believes that he can do everything like his parents, wants to do everything by himself, and tries to experience independence through some actions to prove his ability to his parents.
Having a sense of control over the surrounding things will make the baby feel that he is an independent individual, so at the stage of longing for control and strength, the baby is easily attracted by the strength shown by the excavator. The reason why babies like toy versions of super-large objects may be because they feel a strong sense of control and personal strength with these miniature versions.
In fact, parents can find that babies are not only interested in excavators, but also like dinosaurs, the Monkey King, superheroes, Disney princesses and so on. These powerful or beautiful images are also deeply loved.
Conclusion Many children have to own their own excavators, which may be a dream. Faced with this special interest of children, our parents must pay attention to guidance. Besides satisfying children's curiosity, we should also explain the potential dangers to them. After all, although the excavator looks "interesting", it is still dangerous.
