Research has discovered that “Attention Deficit Disorder” (ADD) affects approximately 20% of Americans and is generally discovered in 8 – 10 year old children. College instructors report their frustration with college students who exhibit limited concentration, usually about 15 minutes due to what is being called “Commercial Gap Syndrome”, a modern term for Attention Deficit Disorder, derived from extensive TV time where commercials interupt programing every 10 - 15 minutes.
Knowing this information, one of the first things that a parent can do is to purposely spend more time "playing" and interacting with their children and less time sitting in front of a television. Researchers say that educational toys are a great tool for parents and caregivers to use during a child's daily play time rather than television. There are numerous resources that parents can use which promote educational play as well as various developmental activities.
As parents devote their time in the education and development of their children by introducing educational toys into their daily activities and play time, they and their children will reap the benefits for years to come. Parents must remember that their child's educational and developmental future lies in their hand. So why not make an investment as early as possible in your child's life helping them to unleash their potential to become as successful as they can possible be.

Children are hard students because they are easily distracted by other things. Through educational toys, learning will be much easier and better.
Ya.I agree with you.Now,I'm doing the same thing with my kids so that they can grasp more when they move to schools
Statistics shows that a large percentage of school age kids are distracted more by the hi- tech and innovative toys on the market today.
Physical and gross motor skills are developed as a child learns to reach,
grasp, crawl, run, climb, and balance. Fine motor skills are developed as children handle small toys. Dexterity develops as the child holds toys or other items.
Educational offers lot of benefits for kids. It cultivates their young minds to think critically. Spending more time in front of a television is not advisable. Mix influence of good and bad are shown in the television which are not good for kids developing growth.
