    Hi, I recently moved to Toronto after divorce. I am working as an office assistant. I am living with my mother and my kid. Mother is retired. My mother takes care of my son and he also goes to daycare. My mother loves him very much and she likes to spend her time with him. She takes care of him when I leave for office. My boy loves toys. He loves toy cars very much. He has a lot of toys which his dad bought for him. Recently I read an article related to toys and how they influence child’s mental growth. It was written that some toys affect the development of the cognitive skills of the children. Toys that simulate weapons, such as guns, knives, and slingshots, can encourage violent play and behaviors. Some toys may produce negative impressions on some kids. So parents please be careful. We kept some of his toys on the shelves where he cannot reach. I think it's better to provide kids with some educational toys so they can have fun and learn. Do you think so? I think it’s time to move on. I am planning to buy some toys that are worth learning. I searched online for best high-quality products. I have heard about Montessori education which is practiced in most of the schools. I have also seen some videos related to Montessori classrooms. I think it’s a good method of educating kids. Can we practice that at home? I have also heard that there are lots toys of Montessori teaching materials for educating kids. People use the name Montessori materials to create fake toys of less quality. Where can I buy the exact ones? Is it only available for Montessori schools.?

    Every toy that your young one enjoys is a good toy. What is it with brands? I keep seeing these... Parents are very concerened lately. That would be great nah? A parent concerned for their child... However in this case it isn't. Parents are concerned for all the wrong reasons. I don't like where things are headed like this. What is next? "What is the best day of the week to get some sunshine?" Asking for a brand of toys is just the same as that. I haven't heard of toxic toys lately. As long as it won't harm the angel it is all fine. I am sorry for sounding harsh. I mean nothing bad to you! Just trying to prove a point. WIsh you happines. God bless you!
