A Brief Discussion on the Changes Brought by Amusement Equipment to Children

Among many amusement equipment, combination slides and other similar rides are one of the children's favorite toys. However, most of the time, parents just stand aside and watch their children play. In fact, on many occasions, joining children in playing can bring a lot of new insights to children.

　　1. When the baby can walk wobbly, parents can take the baby to play on kindergarten slides and gentle combination slides. Hold the baby under the armpits with both hands, help the baby climb to the top of the slide, and encourage the baby to slide down (parents should not hold the baby up forcefully, and check whether the two sides of the combination slide are smooth and free of stains before sliding).

　　2. Sliding with the help of an adult: When the baby can sit steadily independently, parents can take the baby to play on the combination slide. One parent holds the baby to sit on the slide, holds the baby under the armpits with both hands and slides down from the top, while saying: “Whoosh, the plane is flying.” After the baby has played several times and gained some experience, parents only need to place the baby on the slide. The mother crouches at the bottom of the slide, and the father stands beside the slide to watch over the baby, letting the baby slide down by themselves.

3. The baby plays on the combination slide independently: When the baby is able to play on a tall slide, let the baby climb up the slide by himself and then slide down.

　　4. Playing on the combination slide with peers: Parents take the baby to the children's playground to play on the slide with other kids, guide the baby to take the initiative to interact with peers, and cultivate the baby's quality of being modest. Parents can also induce the baby with encouraging words: “Good baby, let the little brother play first, okay?” If the baby behaves particularly well when playing on the slide with peers, parents can give the baby appropriate encouragement.

　　Combination slides integrate play, learning and exercise, which has certain significance for children's growth. At the same time, other amusement facilities have similar functions. For example, rocking rides can exercise children's ability to cooperate with others, and play frames can exercise children's courage, all of which promote the healthy growth of children to a certain extent.
