In this day and age, the media and peer pressure play a big role in influencing our children. For that reason, it is so important for parents to steer their children on the right course towards emotional and intellectual growth. Dr. Stevanne Auerbach, a/k/a Dr. Toy, has created the perfect step-by-step guide to help parents empower their children.
For any parent who ever found themselves in a quandary as to what toy is not only fun for their children but also a safe learning tool, Dr. Toy shares her experience and knowledge in evaluating toys and also teaches you how to play and create your own games to bond with your child from an early age.
Although this book is called Smart Play, Smart Toys, it includes so much more. It describes what can be expected in each specific age group. It gives advice on how to handle a seven year old who is being teased at school or how to have your child enjoy sports without major emphasis on competition. This book talks about the challenges you face as a child grows and how your relationship with your child is the most important thing in his/her life.
And for any parent who leads a busy life and feels that stopping to read an entire book is too much a commitment, this book is the answer. The author's insights, organization and clarity make this book a perfect easy-read resource.
As a parent of grown children, I found valuable reminders that we need to accept our children's beliefs and tastes although they differ from our own. I will definitely pass this on to my children when they have my grandchildren and strongly recommend this book to nieces, nephews and anyone who has small children.
