Collecting Things when Young

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

If you have ever watched cartoons and other kids television shows you will notice that there is a sequence that is followed. It is like one thing ads to the next and over time it builds. Collecting things in order and grouped together is something that kids often do. There are mini pony collections, and there is one main pony and then a whole lot that follow to make up the whole collection. There are also specific cards with either pictures or stickers that are collected to make up the whole. It is not that cool to just have one or two of these things, it is best to have the whole collection.

This is very positive and good for kids to participate in because it helps them finish things that they start. Later in life they can have jobs and tasks that require them to finish them to the end. If at a young age they are focusing on collecting the whole set and they work at it to accomplish it, then it will be much easier for them later in life to take on big projects and complete serious tasks. At the time it may be kind of silly to look at this cardboard card and wonder why there is such a desire to collect other cardboard cards with similar pictures or stickers, but do what you can to support this because the benefit later on will be worth it.
