Abstract:

All individuals up to the age of 18 are considered children, except in the case of coming of age at an earlier age. The family, on the other hand, is an environment where the first communication, first experiences are made and the most important periods of life are spent together. In the first year of life, individuals who grow up in a reliable environment where their needs are met in a timely manner also have a shorter period of adaptation to society. Thus, children will facilitate the continuation of the society whose foundations were laid by the family. Changes in the social structure have been effective in the emergence of different family structures. The changes and developments that have occurred in the period from ancient times to the present have also been influential in the discovery of the concepts of child and childhood. Changes in the values and norms in the social structure, socialization, globalization, industrialization, games, toys and many other factors cause changes in children's images, games and toys, that is, social changes. Today's technological developments have brought along the spread of games played in the virtual environment. The fact that role modeling has an important place in the learning of preschool children, in particular, may cause children to be affected more and more quickly by virtual environments such as television and computers. In order to prevent the social change process from affecting children negatively, it is important to increase legal regulations and family education.
