When you go and observe a children's classroom, there will always be one or two active child that participates in the room discussions. They seem to be always ready with their answers; be it math, science or grammar. While the rest, they are meek and silent as if they are just waiting for the class to end. The teachers with their best efforts will try to encourage everyone's participation but they can only achieve so much. Is your child one of the active ones or are they among the silent crowd?
While parents want the best for their children, not many parents know how to provide for it or know how to do it. This makes educational toys to be the perfect go-between with your kids and their bright future.
Parents have always wanted the best for their children. They dreamt of them being great pilots, high tech engineers, famous inventors, devoted doctors, brilliant lawyers and so on. Yet early on their schooling days, parents begin to sulk because they realize that their dreams for their kids are starting to crumble. The children being kids don't have focus on knowing what they want for their future. All they want is to play, play and play. Forcing them to study with just scare them off of school. And it may be too late for them to realize that they have lost their chance for a brighter future.
Educational toys are meant to be fun, but it is also designed with the child's future in mind. It is made for the kids to learn without full knowledge that these toys are teaching them. Learning is a side effect of using educational toys. It makes problem solving fun, making math exciting, making science a start of discovering the world, making music an expression of self being. With educational toys being fun, kids would ask for more and more and parents will be happy to provide them.
Puzzles and board games for example, are educational toys that come in different variations which makes them challenging and fun. A scrabble board game broadens your child's vocabulary. Picture puzzles on the other hand excite their imaginations as they find ways to complete the puzzle. The closer they are to completion, the higher will be their eagerness and focus to complete it. Other board games like monopoly teach kids to do their basic math and learn how to spend wisely on money at hand. Charade would help kids express themselves better as they learn how to act out what they want to convey enough for their teammates to identify.
Normally, kids will play with whatever they have at hand, it will be your responsibility as parents to provide the right toys for your kids and have the gain of learning from these toys. The sooner that you get your kids to start playing educational toys, the sooner we give them the head start for their studies. The closer you are to fulfilling your dreams for them. Of course, later on, they can have and fulfill their own dreams. The good thing is that you have prepared them for it.
Helene Goldnadel suggests you to invest in education toys for your kids now before they get left behind by their peers.
