During the creation Svetlana Roiz, a family child psychologist, gave her consultations to toys, and in particular, she shared recommendations on how to talk to children in simple words about complex topics.

The child will feel stronger and more stable if adults choose the time and form (according to the age and condition of the children) and talk about difficult things. When we talk about differences and respect for different people, we ourselves become an example of this respect, and the child grows empathic, human and whole, the psychologist says.

The initiative to launch the toy was supported by Ruslana Danilkina, a war veteran and first contact specialist at the Superhumans Center. She became one of the faces of the information campaign.

I am always extremely happy when a child asks: do you sleep with a prosthesis? do you take a bath with him? and how to live with a prosthesis? and is it difficult to live with a prosthesis? And I, of course, explain everything. Because now it is important to convey this to children so that they do not worry, are not afraid and know how to communicate with a person who has a disability, she said.

Buy “More than a toy” can be found at the link. All money from the sale goes to save animals and the environment from war.
