СКАЧАТЬ mother and grandmother. She explains the role of play in developing a well rounded, resilient child. She helps parents understand a child’s developmental stages; how to direct play into new areas; how to use products wisely; how to purchase smartly; and why playing together strengthens relationships. I loved this book and highly recommend it for all parents.

      Dr. Toy’s Smart Play/Smart Toys is a great book for parents. It gives parents a guide to what are age appropriate toys for every age group with clear descriptions of the developmental reasons that make it suitable for any particular stage, and is very helpful breaking play activities and playthings into their value for physical intellectual, social/emotional development. Dr. Toy gives recipes for making play materials and suggestions for how parents can have fun with their children without being intrusive. A book all parents should have on their parenting bookshelf.
