If a child does not play is a sign of alarm

It is usual that a healthy and happy kid wants to play at any time of day. If we observe that never fails to demonstrate interest in this type of activity, we suspect, according to the psychologist-Marina Martinez Cubells, that:

■ Perhaps in the family there is excessive attention to a problem. That tension faced by small interrupted him his game.

■ If we put a disproportionate number of real stimuli for their age, we limit their desire to fantasize.

■ In the case of observing that it has no interest in investigating, which does not carry out symbolic games and showing passivity, we must consult with the specialist, because it can have an organic alteration or emotional difficulty.

Dangerous toys

All the infantile articles of any nature usually take place fondness and sensation of amusement; for what we don't delay in putting a yes before a purchase of this class. Now then, you are to keep in mind that some toys can damage the auditory health of the children.

When a noise overcomes the 85 decibeles, you surpass the barrier that guarantee the auditory health, so that you have damage, you are indispensable to merge the intensity with the duration: noises to 100 dB (for example music concerts, cinemas, transit, local of video, among other) produce damage to the end of hours, while sound stimuli of 130 dB damage the hearing to the two minutes of exhibition.

That is the intensity of the pyrotechnics, of a shot or of the take off of an airplane, but you are also that of certain toys for babies and children.

Concretely, you are models of infantile very economic cellular telephones that emit noises to 130 dB. Something similar you happen with the toy machine guns and some musical instruments for children that can produce damage just by 15 minutes of exhibition.
