Smart Play Smart Toys: How to Raise a Child with a High PQ

We've all heard of "IQ" but do you know your child's "PQ" or Play Quotient? A child's ability to play does more than provide for fun and diversion; it is critical for his or her emotional and intellectual growth, and teaches everything from social skills to analytical thinking. For the developing mind of a child, learning to play is paramount--but is your child getting the most out of playtime? Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., more affectionately known as "Dr. Toy" has dedicated a lifetime to the importance of play and evaluating toys and children's products, and gives you specific advice on which toys to buy, how to use them effectively, what kind of games to play to empower your child's overall development and much more. You'll learn from being your child's first "Big Toy" from baby to older child, how to be your child's "Play Tutor" and how play can strengthen maturity levels and confidence. This book covers the pros, cons, and facts of gender specific toys, guidance for gifted and special-needs child practical advice on evaluating toy safety, and how to find play opportunities at home, school, and community. Dr. Toy recommends supplies you should always have on hand, and suggests many different ways to have fun with many more invaluable ideas to make playtime a growing experience!
