Now it turns out that the market for educational toys for babies has tricked us.
According to research conducted at the London Institute of Education, The only toy the baby needs is you. Interaction with parents has a greater long-term impact on children's development than educational toys such as computers and electronic activity boards.
So goodbye to Baby Eistein, apparently the investigation that was carried out with 12,500 children in ages of 18, 30 and 42 months; He concluded that babies what they crave is personal attention.
And it must be true, because there are children who have large amounts of toys, but what makes them happy is a little time next to their parents.
We cannot deny that toys have an importance in the psychomotor and cognitive development of children. For example, I have bought my son a ball that is a globe and he has learned to locate countries, seas, etc. Lucas is delighted, of course this has also been possible because of the interaction between the two when playing. But to my baby there is no toy to entertain him, what he wants is for me to pamper him, talk to him, sing to him and pay attention to him, for my little boy there is no rattle that is worth more than his mother.
But like everything else in life, there must be a balance between toys and the time we dedicate to our children.
