| Can high-tech toys make kids smarter?  | | | | It starts in utero, intensifies when babies are learning to crawl and hits a frenzy about the time they are learning the alphabet: the push to get smarter has created a global industry dedicated to training young brains. And if you think you're off the hook when your children are out of nappies, think again: a new generation of tech toys for the elderly means that, from cradle to grave, the relentless push to make you smarter never lets up. Tech toys aimed at improving intelligence are designed for the under-10s, and particularly for the ages when children are learning to read, write and count. It's here that manufacturers are reaping big dollars from anxious parents who are more than ready to part with their hard-earned cash to make sure their children have a winning edge in the brain race. Toys are no longer purely about fun and entertainment: smart kids are what it's all about. Wander through the average toy shop and you'll find that shelf space previously occupied by wooden blocks and squeaky toys now houses a wide range of brightly packaged learning gadgets and kiddie electronica. Do you think that this is the direction thing should be evolving in? What will happen to good old building blocks and dolls? Would you raise your kids this way? | | Kid | | | | | | | | | Ask a Lawyer: Child Law 12 Family Lawyers Are Online! Ask a Question, Get an Answer ASAP. JustAnswer.com/Law/Child

| | There should always be games and toys available of the building block type so that coordination,dexterity,and ingenuity makes the child progress through different stages of growing. An item like a baby walker is a great asset and brings a child along much faster in the learning to walk stage. High tech is for the much older child ,like being in a plane doing a thousand miles an hour up in the high sky. | | | | | | | Ask a Lawyer: Child Law 12 Family Lawyers Are Online!

| | i think some can be a bit much, its not good to rush a child's skills before they are ready for it. they may be loosing out on other skills that are just as important. | | | | | | | | | | Liposuction Alternative Non-surgical fat reduction with no downtime and visible results.

| | I don't believe this saying either. high-tech toys have no necessary connection with smart kids. They are just toys for kids to play. We haven't heard of any research shows that the two are related to each other. this is just like people who use mobile phone will become rich only because some rich people use them. Maybe tech toys help kids to develop their ability but it's just a necessary condition. | | | | | | | | | | Local Coupons Ridiculously huge deals every day.
