This famous, comprehensive guide to the best toys and games for developing a well-rounded and resilient child has now been revised and updated by Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., better known as Dr. Toy.
The renowned syndicated columnist, author, and educator draws on more than 25 years experience as a child development specialist to explore the importance of play and specific toys in a child’s overall development. Dr. Toy tackles every difficult issue for parents overwhelmed by thousands of toys and play options, including toy safety, gender-specific toys, gifted and special-needs children, age-appropriateness of toys, and nurturing individual aspects of a child’s development, from emotions to eye-hand coordination, and mathematics to memory. Just as importantly, Dr. Toy’s Smart Play Smart Toys teaches parents how to be their child’s Play Tutor, how to observe their child’s growth and determine specific needs, and how to choose toys and games wisely. |
