The message that a child with many toys receives is that if something breaks, there will be another toy there to play with.
5. Takes away from developing valuable life skills Children with fewer toys are forced to share with their siblings and cooperate. Instead of giving up on a game or throwing aside a toy so hastily, children with fewer toys learn valuable life skills such as “stick-to-itiveness”, patience, and determination.
