September 7 is celebrated around the world Day of giving up military toys, or the Day of its destruction. The initiator of the approval of this day is the World Organization for Helping Orphans and Children Deprived of the Care of Their Parents. For the first time, the organization came up with this idea in 1987, and the following year, the initiative was supported in various countries.

The military toy became a reason for disputes between doctors and psychologists. Some believe that with proper upbringing, such a toy develops in boys courage, loyalty to the Motherland, the desire to protect and help the weak. Others argue that modern military toys are able to program children to be aggressive, create a false idea of ​​death, showing this phenomenon as something everyday.

In this discussion, one of the options for the name of this international day, which includes the word “destroy”, looks ambiguous. Everyone should understand that parents, society and the state are responsible for children’s games. This day is an occasion not only to replace all aggressive toys of your child with constructors, cartoon characters, soft toys, but also to think about what toys and how our children play.
