[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You're not choosing what she likes better- you are choosing what you think will better stimulate her creativity.  And imply that plastic and battery toys are some how anti-creative or dangerous.  Are those wood blocks from sustainable wood that has no paint made in China?!  If so, glad you're wealthy enough to buy on etsy.[/quote]

So should we just let our small children pick out their own toys? [/quote]

Not saying that- just saying it's ingenuous to claim that you/she "knows her child and picks toys she likes" when we are stocking only what we think will be good for them.  My mother and other family members buy my DS stuff I don't love, but he loves them, and unlike some, I'm not going to rip it out of his hands because it doesn't accord with some lofty, scientifically baseless, values.  DS doesn't get to watch TV at home  because  the effects of the screen on his little brain are well known. When at my mom's it's on and we get over it.  Kellymom is not the NIH, and being anti- for the sake of being anti- is just annoying.[/quote]
