Psychologist assessed the impact of wedding games on children

The marriage ceremony game is similar to other traditional role-playing children's games such as "mother daughters", "school", "family vacation", "guests", etc. Such a "wedding" directly affects the formation of attitudes towards family life, psychologist Yuri Kudryavtsev explained to Izvestia.

What's the difference: how many years should a man be older than a woman?

Experts explained why spouses of the same age get divorced when they marry young.

"Family values, like any other, are instilled from childhood through play activities, and then the very value foundation is formed. The positive aspects of a make—believe wedding are that if such an event is fun and fervently organized, then a positive image of marriage and future family relations is formed," the expert noted.

He emphasized that children absorb the scenario of a relationship between a man and a woman through simple observation.

"Therefore, parents should broadcast positive and harmonious relationships, and not endlessly swear, vilify and devalue each other. Conflicts, mutual humiliation and discontent, aggression, as well as the dependence of one or both parents do not encourage dreams of family life," the source warned.

Beautiful ceremonies will help remove fears, misunderstandings and prejudices if this negativity was still broadcast by parents or other adults, which is a plus of children's "weddings," Kudryavtsev added.
