my wife and i are expecting our first child in feburary. my question is, what can we do to help develop her brain activity and things like her sences. I'm not a big fan of those education videos or movies but i won't totaly rule them out. does it really help or make a difference when they are so young, like new born to read to them or do whatever we can to help her along?
Answer
Children are not supposed to watch TV before the age of 2. Research shows that it can be detrimental to their development. So trust your instincts. I would read to your child, talk to her, sing to her. Tummy time is very important, it leads to earlier crawling. Make sure that when she starts playing, she has lots of open-ended toys. These are toys that can be used in many ways, like blocks, plastic food, stacking rings, etc. The "interactive" talking toys are overrated. It is better for you to interact with your child. They learn more from you.

Any toy Gift Ideas for a Disabled child????

I have a disabled almost 3 year old family member. He has down syndrome, so most of the product toys for his age group don't fit him. He cannot walk yet because of very poor muscle tone, and has limited interest and ability for toys for his true age. I already got him a whole new wardrobe and would like some toys. Any help??? What would really help him?
Answer
My sister turns three tomorrow and she has down syndrome. Interactive things are always good for these kids. Things with music and lights. Dont feel bad going into the infant secton to find a fun colorful toy. We usually get her things that fir 12-18 months. We found the Hasbro Playskool Step Start Walk n ride was great to help her working on mobility. She loves her infant bowling set. Depending on his weight you could consider a bouncer to help work on muscle tone.
