A child's development is not dependent on "educational toys"

Send us Fan MailYour child doesn't need all the best "educational toys" for their development and wellbeing. In fact, in this episode, we argue that you, the parent, are the best educational toy. Being present with our babies and responding to them when they coo or babble. Going for walks with our newborns and stimulating their senses. Teaching them about the world they live in. How do things move, sound, bounce, feel, taste is the type of play that should guide us. Want to learn more? Listen to the season 2 finale to get some advice about play for ages 0-5 years old.
