Do children have too many toys these days?

I still go down toy aisles and find everything super interesting, but I think they're so damn elaborate. They can be overwhelming. Simple things are best, I think. Lots of times you see kids playing with the boxes toys came in instead of the toys.

Kids have too much stupid crap

I think it is a problem. We give kids so much and never allow them to be bored or to have any need for creativity. I think it ends up making spoiled, entitled children who don't know how to think for themselves. Obviously, it doesn't make new toys inherently bad. Some of them are quite good. However, overall I think we are simply teaching our children that they have the right to be constantly amused and that they don't have to learn responsibility. Why bother to care for a toy when you own so many?

kids are wanting more and more these days. too spoiled and everything costs a lot more now a days... btw i use to have a lot of lincoln logs.

I don't think the difference in toys has helped nor harmed kids. Toys are just toys

I don't think that it's necessarily the abundance of toys or technology that is the problem, but the lack of morals and family structure that has harmed kids these days. People don't stay inside all day every day because they're lazy; it is because they were never taught the benefits of the outdoors and why it's one of the healthiest things for you.

I think we are trying to make kids grow up too soon. And it wasn't 100 years ago. I loved lincoln logs. The only difference was my grandfather made them. We weren't like the rich kids

Yes...they do, but I'm pretty guilty of getting it for them...

Not sure for my sister, who is 5, but her Frozen toys are annoying as hell.

Actually my son has those...but yes to many toys and the cripple their creativity...

Harmed big time as now they spend all their time in doors staring at a tv screen
