Going to a toy store nowadays is like visiting the cave of Ali-Baba. There are toys for all ages, of all shapes and sizes, and using all kinds of technology. Having a chest full of toys is the norm in homes with children.

Babies are like sponges in their first months and years of life. During this phase they are developing their fine motor skills (using their fingers to grasp things) and gross motor skills (those that engage the larger muscle groups) as well as memory and social skills.

You may find it incredible that a baby that is only a few months old may benefit from reading, but there are many advantages to reading to your baby. It is a tool that promotes its development in more than one aspect and that will open the door to a love of books and reading.

Playing is a healthy and necessary part, not only for the child’s development but also for the wellbeing of a family. Children play in order to have fun and while they do that, they are learning.
