UD child development experts share guidance for selecting toys this holiday season
During the holiday season, parents and caregivers are bombarded with flashy advertisements for the "best" or most "educational" toys for their children. By the time they sit down to wrap presents, some feel drained by the season's commercialism, doubting whether they made the right choices.
This year, child development faculty in the University of Delaware's College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) can help alleviate those worries. Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Unidel H. Rodney Sharp Chair and professor in CEHD's School of Education, and Myae Han, professor in CEHD's Department of Human Development and Family Sciences, share guidance for parents and caregivers, emphasizing that the "best" toys for children are often free.
