[quote=Anonymous]I know how you feel, OP. I work part time with two toddlers. Whenever I get there, the first thing I do is clean up the toysplosion in the play room. I get out one thing to play with (just blocks, or just the dollhouse or just the music toys, and NEVER the electronic light-up nonsense) and the kids can play for 30-45 minutes with that one thing and get really "deep" into it (inventing new ways to use the toys, more elaborate games, etc.). When they play with their mom, she lets them flit from toy to toy and they spend the entire time pressing buttons and dumping bins. She too claims that they are such "gifted" children that they need lots of stimulation. I have no advice as I cannot figure out how to explain to her that they should be working on their attention span and on playing creatively using all their senses and participating wih the toys, not just standing around and watching/listening to the toys yell or sing or beep or light up.[/quote]
