Learning to persevere in pursuit of a goal
What a joy it is for a child to build as tall a building as possible and then knock it over with a shout of satisfaction. The child sees that laying out a tall structure requires the sacrifice of time and concentration, and haste, nervousness and desire for immediate results can make the structure collapse before reaching its required final shape. Although he may not succeed at first, in time he will understand that pursuing the goal he has set for himself is bought with self-control and perseverance.
As a result, the child trains the ability to wait patiently, which can be extremely helpful for parents as well. Impatient questions of "and is it already?" may recur much less frequently, and may be a thing of the past altogether. One can conclude that playing with blocks therefore has an educational and educational function that can absorb a child for hours.
Not just for toddlers
This kind of patience training is good to start at an early age, when the child is learning about the world and the cause-and-effect relationships that govern it. He learns that by the method of "trial and error" you can reach the required goal if you really want it, do not give up and concentrate on it. However, it should be noted that blocks are an excellent choice not only for toddlers, but also for older children. At every stage of childhood playing with blocks can contribute to the development of the ability to wait patiently and form the ability to successively, steadfastly pursue a goal. Older children can come up with more advanced constructions that require even more precision and self-control, for example by breaking records in the length or height of structures.
Benefits in this context will also bring the opportunity to playing with blocks in a group, when patience can be put to a serious test. Cooperation, maintaining internal discipline and developing consensus (e.g., by sharing parts or helping each other build) are extremely important skills in adulthood as well, which can be shaped in childhood through playing with blocks.
