Vocabulary: toys.

Obviously, games or toys are not only made to play with! They're not only imagined to entertain and amuse children. A toy helps to shape a kid's personality, insofar as it requires effort, flexibility, even if the kid doesn't notice this need, and helps him acquire dexterity and different skills. Games and toys also develop the kid's imagination.

In their young lives, in order to be intellectually developed and well integrated in society, young kids must play. The only problem is, in fact, to allocate enough time to each activity.

That's what the proverb says : All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy... All play and no work makes Jack a silly boy!

If a kid works too much, he will become dull, sad and uninteresting. If he doesn't work enough, he will become stupid... A hard choice to make !

Parents have to give enough knowledge but enough leisure time and moments of games in order to reach balance and harmony in their children's lives...
