With the holidays fast approaching, take some time to think about the type of toys you buy for your children, grandchildren, friends' children, nieces/nephews, cousins, etc. A new study shows that parents talk less and respond less to children when playing with electronic toys, even when they are advertised as language learning toys. And the babies babbled/talked less as well! A toy should be 10 percent toy and 90 percent child, and with a lot of these electronic toys, the... toy takes over 90 percent and the child just fills in the blank. http://mobile.nytimes.com//traditional-toys-may-beat-gad/ http://qz.com//parents-are-buying-their-kids-all-the-wron/
