The psychological role of the doll in the development of the child
Dolls have existed for as long as mankind itself. At different times they performed different functions: religious, artistic, playful, etc. At the same time, as an object of gaming activity, they began to be used even in prehistoric times, but only after they ceased to be images of various deities.
A doll is a generalized likeness of a person made of various materials. Children, regardless of gender, love to play with her, mess around like a baby, or replace her with a playmate.
Are these toys so simple, are they just for fun and play? Undoubtedly not.
They, dolls, play an inconspicuous, but very important role in the development of the child, in the process of becoming his personality. Their influence is difficult to replace with any cubes or cars, even soft little animals. Therefore, a child in childhood must have a doll in his games. Those who deprive the boy of this opportunity by slipping him cars and designers are very mistaken, because dolls do not affect sexual orientation in any way, and later the baby himself will take up standard types of toys for him.
- Educational value of the doll
Everyone knows that toys develop a child in certain areas, and therefore they often buy various blocks, construction sets, puzzles, and traditional toys such as dolls are considered outdated and serve only for fun and a purely girly toy. And so they try to replace them. But not everyone realizes that depriving a child, especially at a young age, of communicating with a doll can slow down his development. After all, the doll has special functions in the development of the child's psyche.
One of these functions is the education of human feelings and morality. A doll is an image of a person in a child's play. When a child does not have a playmate, he makes a doll for them. She is an ideal friend who is always there and does not remember evil. At the same time, in the game with her, he can act as he pleases, and no one will interfere and condemn.
Often, when playing with a doll, a child projects some inner experiences onto it and plays them out in various situations. It can also attribute any qualities that it does not possess, for example, courage. The child takes the doll, says: "Let's go!", - and timidly, cautiously, nevertheless enters the dark room for some toy.
Young children imitate the actions of adults while playing with a doll. They bathe the doll in the same way as they bathe themselves, dress them in the same way. There is a development of the simplest life skills.
Children a little older are already playing with everyday situations that they saw in the family, displaying and reinforcing generalized ideas about them.
Playing with a doll gives rise to role play. Initially, the child speaks for the doll, pronounces its actions, and in this pronunciation the germ of a role-playing game is hidden - the child takes on the image of the doll, plays its role.
Playing with a doll also satisfies the child's cognitive activity. Looking at the doll, the child explores himself, forms an idea about his body, his capabilities. Curiosity is also satisfied in destructive actions with the doll: the child breaks, undresses the doll, looks at what is inside it.
How a child will play with a doll also depends on its type. The aggressive look of the doll provokes, accordingly, an aggressive, militant type of play. And more gentle facial features, larger, relative to the size of the body, the size of the head, puffiness - care, patronage. The doll sets the image of a person, forms the child's concept of good and evil, good and bad.
The doll contributes to the development of fantasy, especially if it has undeveloped facial features.
This makes the child's imagination work to the fullest, since the child himself, in this case, sets the mood for the doll. She can laugh or cry, get angry or stick her tongue out, all with a static, unmoving doll face and a beautiful work of a child's imagination.
Well, can any constructor be able to give such a diverse, versatile development to a child? Certainly not! Therefore, every child should have a doll.
- The influence of the material and shape of the doll on the mental development of the child.
The appearance of the doll, the texture of the material from which it is made, its proportions - all this also undoubtedly affects the psyche of the child.
Consider the influence of proportions. The correct proportions of the doll form the correct ideas about the child's body.
And this is very important for his further mental and physical health. This is especially true for girls, as they are more influenced by such disproportionate dolls as Barbie. Playing with them, girls give themselves wrong ideas about the figure, and, growing up, they begin to torment themselves with diets in order to become slimmer, to achieve an imaginary ideal. Or, here is another case confirming the influence of the proportions of the doll on the child. For one girl, her mother sewed a doll, but she was in a hurry, so the face of the toy turned out to be crooked. Some time after playing with this doll, the girl began to distort her face, and exactly as the doll had. Even in her normal state, outside of playing with the doll, she retained that expression. Only after the doll's face was remade did the girl's face also return to normal. All this is due to the fact that it is in the first seven years of life that a child is distinguished by extraordinary plasticity, he has projection and bodily imitation, he absorbs those qualities of a doll that are most pronounced outwardly.
Preschool children are not able to appreciate and understand the caricature and exaggeration of the doll, without transferring its qualities to themselves, since the image of a person is still not sufficiently formed at this time.
The quality and texture of the material the doll is made of also matter. This has been established by research. Children react differently to toys made from different materials. Soft and fluffy materials evoke positive emotions, stimulating the child to play. At the same time, rough and cold materials cause a negative attitude.
The facial expression, general appearance, elements of the doll's clothing carry certain inherent human qualities, and, accordingly, the way of playing and the role of the doll. So dolls with kind or neutral facial features almost always assume their role as saviors, heroes, good fairies, and toys with negative expressions are often some kind of villain, villain. These are character dolls. A characteristic doll (it is a boy doll or a girl doll) has certain human qualities: naivety, stupidity, mischief, etc. This doll carries a characterological predestination, on which the plot played out with it often depends. The child attributes many positive traits to the positive character doll, and negative traits to the negative characters. Such dolls, as it were, require a certain way of interacting with them from the child. Playing with such dolls becomes a kind of school of social relations.
And so the child needs the right selection of dolls according to materials and proportions. If this is not done, then the doll will have a negative impact on the child.
Most adults believe that doll play is only for girls. And by the way, boys, 2-3 years old, willingly play with dolls just like girls: they put the doll to sleep, carry it in a stroller, carry it in their arms. Dad, this is usually surprising and very shocking.
As mentioned earlier, this is an absolutely normal behavior of any child of this age, because there is an imitation of adults. The kid does everything that his mother does with him. There is a development of the social and emotional spheres of life. The child thus learns to interact with others.
But, according to the decision of adults, a simple doll is taken away from the boy and replaced with various technical toys, or some kind of monster, at best a soldier. By this, the child is deprived of the correct emotional development, aggressive behavior is being developed, the baby is not trained in the correct interaction, and does not receive the correct social experience.
Therefore, it is important that at least at this age the boy has the opportunity to play with dolls. It is not at all necessary to understand by this the game in dolls for girls, because there are different types of dolls. Growing up, the baby himself will move on to other types of toys, more characteristic of his gender.
Each age of the child should correspond to a certain doll, each with its own set of characteristics. So, the younger the child, the less specific the doll can be, and, accordingly, the older, the more detailed the appearance of the doll becomes. If you choose the wrong doll, then it can even negatively affect the child’s psyche, or he simply won’t understand what to do with it and break it.
So, a child can be introduced to a doll from the first months of life. The first thing we can observe when a baby meets a doll is that the baby, peering into her face, recognizes a human image in it. Let the first doll only vaguely resemble a person, but it has many "elements" for the game. Such a simple toy gives the baby a lot of sensations - a different structure and surface of the material (flannel and chintz), a hard head and soft legs, calm, but still different shades of color. It is comfortable to hold in your hands, it is light, soft to the touch. This toy contributes to the development of tactile sensitivity of the child. If the dolls are made "without a face", the baby will each time "finish", "think out" the right mood for his toy. Moreover, the doll should appear not only in girls, but also in boys too: every child, regardless of gender, lives at this age the image of a person.
It is desirable that such a doll be rag, soft, pleasant to the touch and without plastic parts.
Starting from the second year, communication with the doll is a literal imitation. The child does with the doll the same thing that the mother does with him: feeds, bathes, puts him to bed. The kid sees himself in the doll. Interestingly, the more detailed the child feels himself and the more fully he masters his environment, the more details appear in the game with the doll. Here the doll should be more detailed, it should have clothes, facial features should be well defined.
At about 3 years of age, there is an interest in acting out stories between little dolls - the child becomes the creator of his world and the director of the events that take place in it. Between them, quite real events are played out. This is a testament to the baby's imagination. Such a game occurs most naturally and organically with small dolls. Well, if the doll has only the outlined facial features. Minimalism in the doll's facial features does not act aggressively on the child's imagination, allowing it to develop freely, actively during the game.
The child is free to think of some facial features of the doll, facial expressions, emotions. The mood is not fixed on the face of the doll in the form of a permanent smile, it can change at the request of the child. Psychologically, such a toy is emotionally neutral. A toy with which a child has constant tactile contact must be formed in accordance with the basic laws of the structure, because. the child should have a correct idea, a harmonious image of a person - a guarantee of future mental and physical health. This is the therapeutic effect of the doll.
By the age of 5, the game reaches a new level. It goes beyond family and everyday subjects and includes a wider social context. Children play in the hospital, shop, cafe, hairdresser, in a word, in what they meet in their lives. Preschoolers accurately reproduce the manners of the people around them, their style of communication and behavior in general. Such games involve not only peer partners, but also puppets. During this period, dolls should most closely match the image of a person, since children are not yet able to understand and appreciate the caricature and exaggeration of a doll without transferring its features to themselves.
Around the age of 6 or 7, girls feel a growing need to take care of their baby. The appearance of a baby doll would be appropriate, but without technical excesses, otherwise the child’s playing with such a doll will turn into mechanical actions, and not a game.
As the child grows, so does the doll. Gradually, it becomes not only an object of care and care, but also sets the image of an adult person - a girl or a young man.
By the end of primary school age (after 7-9years), when the child has already more or less developed a stable image of a person and has formed associated ideas about beautiful and ugly, good and bad, he can be given to play with all kinds of humanoid dolls, such as Barbie, various monsters and the like.
At primary school age, the child continues to play. The boy still loves his bear, plays with soldiers and cars. The girl does not part with the doll. However, children tend to hide their affection for toys from others - after all, they are now schoolchildren! Here you should help the child continue to play with his favorite bears and dolls. The game will gradually acquire a qualitatively different content: gradually the child will cease to endow his toy with human qualities, his emotions will become calmer and the toy will take its place in childhood memories, and in the present the child will retain a sweet feeling of affection and gratitude for it. The further development of the child will put everything in its place.
Socialization affects the child from the very moment of birth. It manifests itself in almost everything: attitude, education, training, play. Socialization is very active in the game, especially with dolls.
The doll is the image of a person, the child's constant partner in almost all his games. Therefore, it can be called even the most socializing toy. Playing with dolls (according to Elkonin) is a reflection of social experience. It is aimed at developing in the child the ability to communicate, the correct behavior in life situations, the development of social intelligence. Through the doll, he learns the moral and moral norms of the society in which he lives; the image of a person, his behavior is built, such categories as good and evil, good and bad, beautiful and ugly are known.
At primary school age, children mostly repeat the actions of adults: as an adult feeds a child, so a child feeds a doll, as an adult bathes a baby, so he bathes his toy. At an older age, role-playing appears in children, their games with dolls acquire a wider social context: they play doctors, a hairdresser, daughters-mothers. In these games, the child builds himself, mastering the world of human relations and ideas that opens up to him. Some researchers believe that the game of girls in daughter-mothers is a manifestation of the maternal instinct. However, Elkonin provides evidence of the incorrectness of these judgments and says that this game reproduces social relations, acceptance in this society, as well as the social division of labor in caring for children.
In addition, through the game with the doll, the child expresses his inner world. So, in recreating family relations, trying on the roles of his family members, you can see exactly how the child sees his family, what worries him now, or what he wants to see in his family.
Playing with a doll, a child reproduces human relationships in his imaginary world, learns the laws of society. Therefore, the doll is one of the main socializing toys.
Adults and children evaluate a doll differently. The mental development of the baby, as well as the impact on his psyche of various toys, including dolls, is often determined by an adult. But they do not always realize how right or wrong this or that effect of a toy can be.
So an adult, for example, often sees in a doll a beautiful product, a beautiful, aesthetic figurine, realizing its aesthetic qualities. Giving such a doll, chosen at their own discretion, they are then very upset when the child begins to play with it in a way that is not required, to break it. Usually, in such cases, the interests of the child are not taken into account, but he needs to satisfy his curiosity, besides, he does not look at the doll as an aesthetic object, he still cannot realize the intrinsic value of things, he is looking for ways to interact with the object. If an adult can get information about an object just by looking at it, then the child develops it during the game.
Due to such a difference in views, the nursery is sometimes filled with all kinds of toys, dolls, which the child either does not play on his own, because he is not interested, or he is simply forbidden to play them as he would like. This has a negative effect on the child.
There were periods in history when children's play was considered a useless activity, and playing with dolls was generally considered devilish.
So it was, for example, in the society of the first American Puritan settlers. They considered children to be fiends of hell, they were strictly forbidden to play. Only some time later, when morals softened, the children were allowed to play, but only on religious themes. And in such cases, any manifestation of fantasy and deviation from the religious context was severely punished. What correctness of development could be discussed here?
Thus, the correctness of mental development depends not only on the doll, but also on the attitude of an adult to raising a child in general, his prudence, understanding that the child simply does not understand some things yet.
A doll, however, can also have a negative effect on the child's psyche, but this usually happens when the toy is not chosen correctly or does not match the child's age.
Precisely fixed images in the doll have a very bad effect on development. An example of this are expressive Barbie dolls and all kinds of monsters. What happens when a child has clearly fixed human images and a programmed way of behavior in a toy? The first is blockage, inhibition of the imagination and independence of the child himself. The given image is so strong that it cannot be changed. So, playing with monsters is always a chase, a battle, a devouring. Playing with Barbie dolls is an endless series of dressing up and shopping, narcissism and rivalry. The disadvantage of such dolls is not even that they are too naturalistic, that they have too pronounced aggressiveness or sexual characteristics, but that they deprive the child of the opportunity to act independently: to invent, imagine and think, i.
e. play. These dolls themselves offer strictly defined actions: what and how to wear, which button to press, what to feed, etc. Children only have to reproduce the proposed stereotypes of actions, which they do willingly. The main qualities that should be manifested and developed in children's games - freedom of action, emotional saturation, creative activity, ingenuity - remain completely unclaimed and do not develop. It seems to the child that he is manipulating the toy, but in reality the toy itself imposes certain actions on him. The game is replaced by manipulation.
We must understand that by facilitating the task of the child and reducing his game to monotonous and stereotypical movements, we limit the child's ability to independent meaningful actions, and, therefore, inhibit his development. In all these cases, there can be no question of any game. The child, by pressing the buttons, becomes a prefix, and the program guides his actions.
The puppet world presents us with the image of a man in very different ways. For girls it is a gentle feminine Ken and other "princes in blue", for boys it is a brutal warrior hung with weapons.
With such a different approach, it should not be surprising then that adult men and women are so often disappointed in each other.
This is how the negative effects of a doll on the child's psyche manifest themselves, but they only appear when the doll is chosen incorrectly.

Why every child should have a favorite toy
Toys are an obligatory attribute of the childhood world. At the same time, a child needs teddy bears or dolls not only for entertainment. Why is a favorite toy so important for a baby? And how can she help parents in the educational process? Psychologist and game therapist Irina Katin-Yartseva answers these questions.
Irina Katin-Yartseva, clinical psychologist, play therapist
Teddy bear instead of mother
Many children have a favorite toy that they never part with. For very young children, this can be a blanket, a rag, a pacifier: touching this thing reminds the child of motherly warmth.
Entire books have been written about such toys, and in some languages there is even a separate word for them. The main function of such a toy is to replace the mother during periods of her temporary absence, and also to help the child move from merging with her to relative independence, mental separation. The kid transfers feelings for his mother to the toy, this helps him cope with her absence, cope with his experiences at a time when he begins to realize himself as a separate person.
Does the child not part with a bear or a doll? At a certain stage, this is normal. He can cry for a long time and bitterly, having lost it, and also emotionally react to changes that occur with a toy (for example, if it has lost color and smell after washing or is broken). This happens precisely because the toy becomes for the baby a receptacle for his strong feelings. Normally, by the age of 2-4, the child's feelings for a favorite thing gradually become less vivid. Growing up, he can resort to the help of a familiar toy from time to time: when preparing for sleep, alone, in a state of anxiety or sadness.
Sometimes parents are frightened by the abuse of a child with a toy: for example, if he punishes a bear, he abandons it. But this is normal, this behavior reflects the duality inherent in people in relation to loved ones. In addition, this means that the child is able to express his emotions on a symbolic level, distinguishing between a real mother, whom he does not want to hurt, and an inanimate object. If a child breaks a toy, help them fix it or do it together.
But attachment to a toy is not always the norm. You should be wary if an object that does not resemble a person or an animal becomes very important for a child: keys, a fork, a stick, a jar lid, a piece of plasticine or a telephone. This often manifests itself in the behavior of children with autistic traits. When a child carries a whole bag of toys around with him, this indicates a high level of anxiety. If children 6-7 years old and older do not part with their favorite toy, this is also a signal of trouble.
How toys help you in your upbringing
The main purpose of your favorite toy is to make difficult times easier for your baby. Therefore, include her in the bedtime ritual: let the child put her to bed, let her listen to a fairy tale with him. If you leave your child for a while, your favorite toy should be where he can take it.
The toy soothes
The toy can even help the child survive trauma - a change in family composition (divorce, the birth of a brother or sister, the death of a loved one) or life circumstances (moving, entering a kindergarten), a sudden strong fright (dog attack, seeing an accident, fire). In addition, thanks to the toy, the baby will be able to prepare for an unpleasant event (surgery, mother's departure).
In order to restore peace of mind, it is important for a child to repeatedly play an event that has happened or is expected on toys.
Here is a mom doll packing things for the maternity hospital, and a baby doll is sad.
"Where are you going? When will you be back?" asks the baby doll. “I’m going to the maternity hospital and I’ll stay there for a week,” the mother doll replies. She promises to call often and send a photo of the new baby. The doll-mom goes to the maternity hospital by car, where she is met by toy doctors. She gives birth to a baby and rests. What does a baby doll do? Here she walks with dad, here she helps to cook dinner, now she misses her mother and looks at her photos, calls her. The baby doll is sad and a little angry with her mother that she left. And now the mother doll is going home with the baby. Baby doll is very, very happy! She hugs her mother and feels happy.
Or, for example, a baby doll was bitten by a dog, and she cries, gets angry. Who will save her? Ah, here comes the superhero, he flies to the rescue! Now he will drive this evil dog away!
Expected events must be played in all variants that can happen. And the troubles that have already occurred can be portrayed as the child wants.
In the game, it is worth giving the baby complete freedom for the manifestation of feelings - both bright, joyful, and negative. The more steam the child releases in the game, the less likely it is that he will behave this way in life.
If you are still worried about whether the child will confuse the game and reality, you can tell him the following: “Yes, pretend in the game you can do everything that is impossible in life.”
The toy teaches
It is useful to use the toy in order to teach the child to play: first, he performs objective actions with it (bathe the doll, feed it, put it to bed), and then a full-fledged role-playing game is formed (daughters-mothers, playing at school , in a cafe, in a car service, in a hospital).
The game itself is the best way to help a child process his emotions, adapt to new conditions and develop harmoniously. Moreover, interaction with different toys stimulates the development of speech, creativity, imagination, thinking and attention.
And, of course, you need to understand that any toy is just a tool in this process, it does not replace the full participation of an adult. The role of the parent here is huge: he can help the child understand what feelings he is experiencing by playing the scene with the doll.
For example, she is naughty and does not want to go to kindergarten: "Poor doll, she wants to sleep more and be with her mother, she is angry and upset that she is forced to get up and get dressed." The kid understands how the objects of the world around him are arranged (“We will build a house ... First, the excavator will dig a hole for the foundation ...”), what rules must be observed in it (“The bear wants to cross the road, but he must wait until the green light turns on”) .
When there is no favorite toy
In some cultures, a toy for a newborn is chosen and placed in the cradle by the parents. In others, the child himself chooses a toy friend.
You can offer him several options, but the decision remains with him, the main thing is not to replace what he has chosen of his own free will.
Often, parents simply do not mark a blanket or a pacifier as their favorite toy, but these things may well perform such functions. And sometimes it happens that a child simply does not need a favorite toy, because instead of playing with an inanimate object, he is allowed to do whatever he wants with his mother.
Therefore, it is especially important to strike a balance between your own interests and the needs of the child. On the one hand, you need to be attentive and sensitive to the baby, try to give him the necessary comfort. On the other hand, remember that your comfort and vitality are the key to the survival and health of the child. When you give up something vital for him - sleep, food, endure pain - this makes you angry.
It is better to help the child survive frustration, tears and irritation, to be with him at this moment than to accumulate anger at him.
