Electronic Toys For Children
Cubes seem to be more useful for the development of a child than electronic gadgets.
Although old childish toys, like bubbles with letters or handbags, don't go anywhere, they're pretty close. new generation toys, our drunken electronics that flash, move and sing songs. On the one hand, all the possible " batteries " seem to be more effective than cubes, but on the other hand, do we know which of them are more useful to children in terms of speech, attention, etc.?

Anna SouzaAnna V. Sosa() From the University of North Arizona, together with colleagues, the following experiences were presented: Twenty-six couples with children between 10 and 16 months of age distributed different toys, e.g. children ' s cell phone or child laptop, regular (e.g. puzzle, painted wooden pieces, rubber with paintings, etc.), and The parents took them home, so the psychologists had no opportunity to watch the children play with them and what happened; but each family was given a special audio recording device. It could be traced, as parents say, by playing with children in some toys and by the way the children answer.
In article JAMA Pediatrics It is said that, with electronic devices, adults are less than playing with conventional toys, talking to their chads, using less words in the conversation, and those that were, in general, not too specific. Children, for their part, were rarely voiced when they were dealing with gadgets. Of course, on the basis of the results, it is not clear that electronic toys are hampering development, that requires more powerful statistics and longer observation time. However, let us not forget that learning the language, educating the children ' s voices come first from the parental voice. It can be assumed that electronic toys (the lot even developed with educational developmental goals), removing the parent speech, hinder the development of the child. (Before speaking, the most sensitive books have been: playing with them, parents have spoken with children most through a variety of words.)
