Which toys actually help
The useful toy is rarely the expensive one. What matters is whether the toy needs you.
Choose toys that need a partner
Bubbles, balls and wind-up toys make a child turn to you and ask.
Avoid toys that talk
A toy that says the word removes the reason for your child to say it.
Repetition beats variety
The same simple game, many times, builds more words than a new toy each week.
