If you as a parent feel and believe that your child requires expensive toys so that his development starts early. They you are wrong. You child needs more of more is you to interact with him or her. This will facilitate your child’s brain and lead to more mental and physical development. Any child loves to hear stories. So you can either narrate the story in your own words or show him or her a picture book and read the story loudly to the child. This can help the child develop his or her vocabulary. This is the reason why younger siblings develop faster.

It is important that parents should have quality time with their kids. giving them expensive toys are not enough.

My family didn't have a lot money when I was born, so we obviously couldn't afford expensive toys or fancy learning materials. My mom did something equally important, she read to me. We had lots of books around the house, my mom read to me from the Bible, and we went to the library a lot. It's thanks to her that I love to read and continue to do so today.

Many parents can't find the time to give their children the attention they need and deserve. I can't even imagine what it must be like. I will not have a child until I am ready, can support it and am able to spend a lot of time with it. (I realize that's easier said than done) This post reminds me of my mother.. she was always too busy for all of us and I think it really had a negative impact. She thought that by spending a lot of money on one toy to shut us up, we would be fine and out of her way. What she failed to realize was that we needed HER attention, not some toy, or some new game. I never want to do that to a child.

I think that the imagination of the parent as well as their creativity will come into play. If the parent can't do anything but handle the child by always buying them something, then the child will come to rely solely on material wealth. But if you shower the child with love and memorable experiences, then you will also be able to help them get better prepared for life.

What a child needs the most when growing is the attention. Whether it is a stroll in the park or a made-up game played with them just as happy as when giving them an expensive toy. That being said, it is still important to provide them with tools that broaden their imagination, as well teach them the basics. They still need to play with things that help them in their mental development.

It is certainly true that children love stories, and wise parents use that. First, you read or tell them stories, then they begin to read by themselves and learn to appreciate books. Story-telling is a great bonding experience, too. My grandma used to tell me bedtime stories, mostly fairy tales. I will never forget it.
