Do children have too many toys these days?


This was a typical toy 100 years ago. Do you think the evolution of toys has helped or harmed kids?

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?
