Family Tips

Buying toys online may be convenient, but you should know that Internet toy sellers are not required to include information about choking dangers or age-appropriateness in their product descriptions. And even more, some online toy sellers are often foreign manufacturers whose goods aren’t even required to meet strict regulations of your native country - so be careful when buying online.
Also, as video games and computer games continue to be more and more popular, remember the saying “All things in moderation.” It is better to limit your child’s time in front of the screen - whether it’s video games, computer games, or TV - to 1 or 2 hours a day. You should also observe your child’s video games for violence, and making certain that your child’s games are appropriate for his or her age and development. If your child is younger than 5, choose games that you can play together or invent some other activity.
And bear in mind that the best products on the market are not always the most expensive. The bright or the fad toys will face the same future as any other toy - forgotten in a few months. Select toys that inspire your kid’s imagination, and avoid those that stimulate violence, strengthen negative stereotypes, or limit your kid’s natural creativity. Often the simplest toys - the ones that don’t “do” anything - are the ones which your child will love for many years to come.
