			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="display: inline; margin-left: 12px; margin-right: 12px; border: 0pt none;" title="Pre-School Admission" src="http://www.goodparenting.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/clip_image002_thumb2.jpg" alt="Pre-School Admission" width="203" height="232" align="right" border="0" hspace="12" />A pre-school or a nursery school is the one which a child goes to before kinder garten/primary school or mainly before beginning kindergarten or Upper KG.</p>
<p>Preschool, which is the first five years of ones life, is a critical stage for building up the foundation for learning for one`s child. Many a time’s parents often send their child hurriedly to the pre-school before even taking the right judgment whether they are prepared or not. This happens because while parents prepare their child for a place to mingle with other children, they forget whether the child is actually ready to handle such a stress or no.</p>
<p>According to reports, more often than not, parents confuse a pre-school with a day care facility where they can keep their child for some work or involving themselves with other activity. They forget to even notice whether their child is actually ready to handle the stress or not.</p>
<p>Often reports suggest that teachers have a tough time to handle kids who have not been trained properly.</p>
<p>Following are the few signs which will help one notice whether the child is fully developed for a playschool admission or not.</p>
<p>Your child is ready for a pre-school admission when…</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.goodparenting.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/clip_image0042.jpg"><img style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Pre-School Admission" src="http://www.goodparenting.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/clip_image004_thumb2.jpg" alt="Pre-School Admission" width="228" height="199" align="right" border="0" hspace="12" /></a>He/she can sit at a place for more than 10 minutes. This can be tested if they sit with a toy or do some activity for a short period of time.</li>
<li>Is trained in his or her routine toilet activities. If he or she is trained to sit without a diaper it would be an added advantage to the teacher.</li>
<li>Food is another indication where a parent can judge whether the child is able to attend school or not. If your child is able to consume solid food, he/she would be like a feather in the cap for the teachers there.</li>
<li>Interest is another indication of when the child is ready to attend a pre-school or not. If he shows interest in playing with certain objects or identifying things like alphabets, words and so on he would prove to be less tension and be a good bargain gift for the teachers in school.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you judge these indications right, your child would be ready to roll the dice in the pre-school which would be foundation for your child`s growth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify"><a rel="attachment wp-att-870" href="http://www.goodparenting.co.in/children/school-children/gurukul-education/attachment/gurukul_indian_school/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-870" title="Gurukul_Indian_school" src="http://www.goodparenting.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Gurukul_Indian_school.jpg" alt="Gurukul_Indian_school" width="185" height="255" /></a>India has a great reputation of being the foremost bearer of world education system since ancient times. Education has played in major role in shaping the tradition, culture and intellectual wealth of the people of India. The country introduced the concept of Gurukul system. It was way beyond a mere teacher-student relationship. Gurukul system thrived on virtuous bonding between a Guru (Teacher) and Shishya (pupil). Form parents’ point of view, Gurukul was always the first and last choice for the education of their wards.  Parents realise that this ancient but extremely relevant system of education even during the modern times goes beyond the simple procedures of teaching and learning. While sending their kids to Gurukool, parents could feel comfortable in the fact that imparting of knowledge and skills are done on a more personal level. Parents and teachers in India have always been accorded highest degree of respect. The ancient scriptures actually placed more emphasis on importance of teachers in shaping the futures of children and consequently, the country.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">To understand the true importance of teachers in our society, just have a look at below mentioned quotes from our scriptures;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">“Guru govind dono khade, ka ke laagun paaye,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Balihari guru aapne, jin gobind deeyo milaye</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Gyan prakaasi guru mila, so jan bisar na jaaye</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Jab sahib kirpa kari, tab guru milya aaye.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">It implies, “God and teacher are both standing side by side, who I should look for blessings? It’s the teacher whom I should first go and hug as he made me aware of God!” This does not demand any more explanation and says it all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">So at the core of Indian education system, parents and teachers play the most vital role. The combined efforts of these two can not only shape the future of the children in a positive way but that of, also the country. Gurukul knew the importance of proper channels of communication between the teachers and parents. The healthy relationship between parents and teachers was ensured through outbound communication, inbound feedback and by keeping interests of children as the single most priority. Parents were considered as community and they were asked to participate and support and were provided a forum to interact among themselves. Though, we are living in a different era but we are also making a silent back move to our roots. There have been events of new schools being created and structured in the mold of Gurukool in different parts of the country. Parents, by keeping their ears and eyes open to such development can ensure a great future for their kids.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A growing child is in awe of everything around her. All kids are endowed with intelligence except that it has to be stimulated well. The age till five and eight is a very receptive stage. Like a sponge they have the ability to soak knowledge. The sensory skills are very much highlighted and most of their communication is done with emotions or touch. As they progress, learn to talk and write, their mode of expressions gets logical and they pose us with many queries.</p>
<p><a title="preschools" href="http://www.preschoolsinindia.in/">Preschools</a> are very important to form a base for academics. Many of the pre schools believe in a fun way of studying and improving motor skills. They want to feel and touch objects and attempt to express with gestures. Kids who are two year old may or may not verbally communicate and this should not be a hindrance to their growth. Block puzzles and simple card games are an easy way to make them understand.</p>
<p>Concepts are essential and can be categorized as numbers, vehicles, alphabets, games, expressions and poems. The easiest way to begin their bonding and interaction is by way of action-expression based songs like Hickory Dickory dock or the Little Miss Muffet. With progressive interactive sessions, kids also learn by fun videos which gently tell them to press the right button and win a smiley score. They love to click or press the keys to get the right answer.</p>
<p>Numbers have to be said aloud till five and then go on to ten. Slowly holding their tiny fingers we can guide them to count. This is easily learnt by them. Along with the same slanting, sleeping and circular drawings help them to hold the grip of the crayon. Use durable long-think crayons to help them hold it strongly. Introduction to colors can be done with self learning. Creating groups to come dressed in reds, blues, greens and yellow is an effortless way to learn.</p>
<p>Able and guided professionals can also conduct seminars to begin a mom n child session to help them learn many other areas of developing motor skills. Art, painting and cooking also helps them to learn about textures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alarming and thought provoking are two words to describe the recent spate of children suicides in India. Our children are the future of our nation and yet they are not confident about living. There could be a reason that is a common thread among all these suicides. Though only a psychologist would throw a clinical light on the same, there is somewhere a lack of trust in oneself.</p>
<p> As a child grows from an infant to a toddler, a parent is constantly finding ways to make the child happy. Sometimes they are born with a silver spoon and plain lucky but there is a need to nurture their emotions more than material comforts. Today’s children have a lot of exposure mainly because their parents or grandparents are very educated and have a seen a lot of the worldly life. The bar on performance is very high within a family. This transcends on them and today’s generation picks up the progressive vibes and reflects the enthusiasm.</p>
<p> The usual signs of discomfort in children in the growing years are that they like to be alone, spend hours in a room or do not acknowledge anything surprising. Merely being present in a social function may not conclude that they are enjoying the same. It is very tough for working parents and the mantra for home chores is also time management. Scheduling activities or going through a routine leaves us with more quality time with our kids.</p>
<p> Often parents to teenagers say that their children do not need them. They seem independent in their choice of movies, clothes and vocation. But ultimately they silently seek our approval especially when it comes to education needs. Though financially we may be the provider they want our support. Parenting is no longer a give and take thing but it’s about participating.</p>
<p> Finding the root cause of your child’s change in behavior or noticing his or her dislikes is very much important. The tough job for a parent is to persuade without pressuring as it is highly important to develop the emotional quotient of a child. Kids surely respect and love to be respected. Growing needs, their physical growth and aspirations are just as important as our goals in life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="small;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-635" title="improve-vocabulary" src="http://www.goodparenting.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/improve-vocabulary.jpg" alt="improve-vocabulary" width="176" height="247" />All children are blessed with an immense aptitude to learn things rapidly. Repetition is another mantra as they tend to replace their learning with something that is fresher. Linking and connecting is also a concept which is almost like an instinct in them. They may hear a word, try to connect it with a subject and actually surprise us by expressing it in some other matter.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="small;">Pre schools have a wonderful way to instill rhymes and songs in a sing song fashion. Actions and mimicking is loved by them. While speaking the parent or caregiver must ensure eye contact and also speak the sound clearly. When in doubt one must always refer to the right pronunciation. Introduce one new word each day. It is studied that kids grasp words randomly but to ensure the right diction, reading is a wonderful medium.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="small;">As they learn to communicate verbally, they use less animated movements with their hands. Their facial expressions also convey much when they are not able to communicate via a word. Let them feel free to speak incorrect language. But ensure to correct the sentence. It is important to not interrupt them and let them take their time to frame a sentence.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="small;">If multi languages are spoken at home, then children have a natural ability to link things. Initially they may jumble up the languages with words but all in all the communication seems perfect. As they progress in school where the communication is in English, they gather a style and speak coherently. Vocabulary has to be encouraged by reading, phonics and also making it habitual to use new words. Gifting the child with books is the best reward to improve their word building skills.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="10pt;">Language plays a great role in one’s career graph. Naturally, parents feel clueless about where should they put their child, in English medium school or Hindi medium? Parents must be decisive about this quagmire. There are several choices as far as schools are concerned. On one hand, there is this pertinent question of a child being in touch with his mother tongue whereas at the same time, knowing the importance of English, it also makes sense to enroll the kid in an established English school. A child going to an English school will gain exposure to English and in the later years he/she will be very comfortable with the language. He will also have a good command over Hindi thanks to his daily exposure to parents, films, music and normal communication. But if a child goes to Hindi school, there are high chances of his struggling with the English language in the later part of his life. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="10pt;">In modern life, English is very important in career. Check out any entrance examinations; whether it’s MBA, MCA, GMAT, TOEFL etc, they all require proficiency in English. Many youngsters prefer to go abroad to pursue further study. For them, life would be miserable if they don’t have good command over the language. He will need to prove his comfort with the language before he is allowed to go abroad. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="10pt;">Most of the jobs in India are available in private industry. There also, presence of vast number of multinational companies can be seen. These companies require English. Suppose, the company decides to send the employee to abroad, how will he communicate if he does not have any command over the English language? Many companies don’t even consider a job application if English proficiency is not up to the mark. Apart from that if the child is interested in media industry he must have adequate command over the language. Finally, it pays to be equally proficient in both languages. </span></p>

Right before school starts, schedule a specific time for homework. Give them a certain amount of break after they are back from school everyday and then begin the homework time. The other thing is the place where your child does his homework. Make sure that the place is quiet and comfortable. There should be no distractions around like the television, telephone or even next to the door.<br />
Check his/ her homework after its done. Maybe your child needs help or maybe he leaves it incomplete and says its done. Its better to supervise it and be sure.  Appreciate your child once he finishes his homework. Tell him that he is an excellent student and let him do what he enjoys after finishing his homework. This would make him give his 100 percent to his task and he would never avoid doing his homework. You can also reward him. Sit with him and decide what he ll gain when he does his homework properly everyday. Like an hour extra of television or maybe tickets to his favourite sport or movie.<br />
If you thin k your child is not absorbing what is being taught and is blindly copying, reward him only after quizzing him about  a few questions relating to his homework. This would make him pay complete attention to his assignment. Don’t ever hit or force your child to do anything. This would make him do the complete opposite thing. Appreciate him and encourage him and he would happily do his work.<br />
If still your child has problems in finishing his homework, get in touch with the teacher to enquire about his academic performance. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The only place where children love to spend as much time as possible everyday and feel relaxed is the playground. It is the place for them to enjoy themselves and socialize with other children. But parents can&#8217;t take this for granted. As much as children are relaxed, parents have to be alert and cautious. If not enough safety is maintained and precautions are not taken, playgrounds are most prone for accidents to happen.  </p>
<p>There are several things parents should keep in mind while their child is on the playground. Children love doing the completely opposite of what they are actually supposed to do. For example, if a slide wants them to come down of their back, they would want to come down on their stomach. Or even worse, they would want to jump down. Parents should be around their kids to avoid such mishaps. </p>
<p>Moreover, while making your child sit on the swing, make sure he is maintaining proper balance or there is a danger of him falling off. Don&#8217;t push the swing<br />
Regards, too hard or he might fall down on his face and hurt himself. Be gentle and less excited. </p>
<p>Another essential thing is that you shouldn’t leave your child with a stranger as they won’t really take the responsibility. Remember, they would first think about themselves. If they have something else grabbing their attention, they would not consider your child, which is risky. </p>
<p>A Playground is an important place for every child and is helps his mental and physical growth. It is necessary for every parent to keep these safety precautions in mind. Don&#8217;t avoid taking your children to the park with the fear of risk. A little stumbling is alright and helps your child to become strong and for further safety, you as a parent, just have to be a little careful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-652" title="toys" src="http://www.goodparenting.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/toys1-300x196.jpg" alt="toys" width="300" height="196" />Animal toys</p>
<p>The cutest amongst all toys are the little animals, birds, insects and the reptiles. Though created with the intention of primarily entertaining the child, parents and teachers, alike use it to also educate the child about the animal kingdom, in general. In fact, in a number of schools in India, children attending pre-school are told various tales from Panchatantra, as well as stories that form a part of the anthology titled – Jataka tales. To make it entertaining, teachers use animal toys as props.</p>
<p>Apart from the soft toys, or what are also known as the stuffed toys, there are animal puppets that are also used when teaching children. This is because it has been noticed that children prefer learning through entertaining means, and learn whatever they are taught concretely when they are made to enjoy what they are being taught.</p>
<p>Art n crafts: One of the most helpful tools in developing the movement and dexterity of the fingers is by having children indulge in arts and crafts. Apart from that is also is known to concretise the learning of various concepts and words. For instance, to teach a child how to recognise the letter ‘A’, it would be effective to have the child colour within a stencilled outline of this alphabet.</p>
<p>While that is an example of an art activity, in the crafts section, the child can be taught about animals and the common parts of an animal by making them do a craft activity. One such activity could be to draw an outline of, say, a dog; and make cut-outs of the various parts such as the eyes, nose, whiskers, ears and tail, which they can paste onto the animal.</p>
<p>The use of arts and crafts into teaching a child, gives them practical experience, which can also be considered as a solid experience, thereby effectively teaching the child something and at the same time ingraining it into their memory.</p>
<p>Baby learning toys</p>
<p>Many may find this hard to believe, but the fact is that various researches and experiments have proven that a human beings learning process begins from the womb, continuing into infancy – increasing with each passing year. So, when one feels that a baby learns the least, they are wrong, because what the baby learns then is the base for the rest of his/her life.</p>
<p>Baby learning toys are basically the various kinds of teethers and squeaky dolls and toys, along with the colourful flash cards. Learning at this stage is more about development, especially physical development. Thus, the squeaky squeeze toys help the child develop the hand muscles; or rather make their finger dexterous.</p>
<p>Another example of baby learning toys is the walkers. These include those in which you place the baby and he/she walks along with it – holding onto the sides; as well as the pulling carts, jeeps, trucks, etc., that help the child move with more freedom than what is provided with a walker.</p>
<p>Beach toys</p>
<p>Sun-tanning, or just lazing on the beach could be fun for adults, but it is surely boring for the active children, whose boredom threshold is the minimum. So if you want to plan a day out on the beach to relax, then first see that you are well equipped with the beach toys, enough to keep the children busy.</p>
<p>Amongst the most common beach toys are those that are used to construct the sandcastles. This includes the bucket and spade, a few mini-flags and probably some mini-dolls. Amongst the other toys for the beach, is the beach ball, frizzbie, cricket set; and for the younger lot the plastic and rubber toys in varied shapes and sizes. Other toys for the outdoors are the automatic toy planes and the children-jeeps that they can drive safely on the beach.</p>
<p>With beach toys in tow, you can surely enjoy a relaxing day, while the kids are busy at play. However, the most important thing is to keep an eye on them so that they do not get too close to the water.</p>
<p>toy cars</p>
<p>Anything that is movable seems entertaining to children, which is why almost every toy manufacturer attempts to get the latest automobile inventions in the miniature form to be pushed, pulled or driven around for children. No, nowhere in the world are children given the license to drive on any public roadway, but this does not stop them from driving all the same.</p>
<p>How is this possible? The car toys make it possible to experience what it feels like behind the wheel. Apart from the miniatures that children and adults collect, all the same; there are the larger car toys that have a steering wheel and a brake and gear system that can actually be driven. These are primarily available in the sports car versions, or other car brands with no covering.</p>
<p>These drivable car toys are generally meant for children between the age group of say three-to-five years of age. However, there are pull-cars in which toddlers can sit. These cars basically need to be pulled by someone, giving the child the thrill of paced movement while being seated. Or should it be called a joy ride?!</p>
<p>Cat toys</p>
<p>Cat toys are more popular amongst girls and women, alike. It is said that it has got to do with the basic similarities between the two – one being the curiosity aspect. Like they say ‘curiosity kills the cat’, and the woman too.</p>
<p>Leaving aside this humorous undercurrent, cat toys are available in various sizes and breeds, actually. The most popular of them is the Persian cat. This furry breed is one of the most beautiful and graceful creatures, with the touch of evil pouring out it eyes; yet it becomes a part of many mantelpieces around the world.</p>
<p>For children, the most popular cat toys are the plastic or rubber ones that make the sound of ‘meow’ when it is squeezed or it is switched on. Thus, toys of any animals are fun objects for children when they make animal sounds.</p>
<p>Childrens educational toys</p>
<p>Who said that one needs to be a child to play with childrens educational toys? The fact remains that unless an adult teaches the child how to use the various toys, the child would just be blank about what they have been given.</p>
<p>This leads to an important factor that when investing in childrens educational toys, one must be sure that they would know how to use it effectively for the child’s optimum benefit. The toys have been created for children of al ages, including infants and those in their later childhood years.</p>
<p>Those for infants are the rubber toys that double up as teethers. These are generally available in a variety of shapes that include male and female dolls, animals, birds and insects, amongst others.<br />
Apart from that there are the fruits and vegetables, as well as other basic colourful toys that help teach the young one various important concepts. As they grow up the toys become increasingly complicated, as per the child’s level, thereby pushing the child to discover and understand newer concepts each time.</p>
<p>Dog toys</p>
<p>Since time immemorial, the dog is known to be man’s best friend, because of its innate ability to identify and remain loyal to its owner and his/her family. While most parents would like their children to grow up with some sort of life-company at home, in the form of a sibling or an animal, they may not be able to do so because of varied constrains.</p>
<p>However, lone children are known to make their dolls and other toys their best friend, usually talking to them all that they feel they can talk. It is strange, but true – children tend to make their dog toys their best friend. This is because most children have been let down by human beings, in the sense they realise very early in life that humans are not too good at keeping secrets.</p>
<p>This experience they carry forward to their dolls, believing that talking to their dolls would one day bring them to life and then reveal their secrets. They realise that their dog cannot talk, but bark; so they speak their heart out to their toy dog, in the case where the child does not have real one.</p>
<p>Educational toys</p>
<p>Since the last couple of years, educationalists across the globe have been promoting and propagating the play-way method of educating children. They strongly feel that children learn better through practical experience that goes beyond the colourful pictures and posters. According to them, children are required to use all their five senses when learning basic concepts, and this can done through educational toys and games.</p>
<p>Educational toys and games include the dolls, sculpted into representing various professionals and age groups; those that are sculpted into animals, birds, insects, reptiles, etc. Apart from the dolls, there are other toys such as the children’s kitchen-set, doctor-set, etc. As far as games are concerned, there is such a vast choice that almost every word and concept can be taught through play-way method.</p>
<p>To cut down on expenses and yet provide children with the maximum educational toys and games, many parents and teachers create them on their own. This is more so as far as the flash cards are concerned. They create flash cards on varied concepts, which are colourful and make for a fun-learning method. They also narrate various stories using the soft toys they create at home.</p>
<p>Hobby Ideas</p>
<p>Most parents ignore the importance of inculcating into the child the habit of developing various hobbies. Actually, in today’s times parents cannot be completely blamed, considering the amount of academic pressure their child is put through, as well as the constant demands to excel. So, when at home most children are just made to apply themselves to their books.</p>
<p>For those who are fortunate to indulge in hobbies, one would not actually consider them really lucky, in effect. Why? This is because most parents make their children learn additional skills out of their own displaced passion for the skill; so a vast majority of children attend hobby classes because their parents want them to and not because they themselves enjoy it.</p>
<p>The fact is that there is such a vast range of hobbies to select from, but the child should be given the permission to select what he/she likes to do most. How can parents and teachers help them make the choice?<br />
It is simple, expose them to the various hobby options and then let them realise what they like most. Remember, leisure activities are meant for pleasure, so let the children enjoy whatever they do in their spare time.</p>
<p>toys in india</p>
<p>Toys are considered to be every child’s best friend, no matter which strata of society one hails from. However, it will not be an off-track statement when one claims that it is also every parent’s best friend. No, not the so-called adult toys, but those meant for children. And what does this imply?</p>
<p>So to speak, toys are considered the best tools to keep the child busy, apart from teaching them certain concepts. If you notice, even infants play with their toys, with a certain inquisitiveness to discover every part of the plaything. They experience with all their five senses – and this delving into the existence of the plaything diverts their attention from the parents’ temporary absence.</p>
<p>Apart from this important role played by toys, they in some way or the other educate the child, and that too giving them practical experience of a concept that needs to be learnt. Take for instance by using puppets, parents and teachers are known to have taught children more effectively.</p>
<p>Considering the importance of toys in educating children, most pre-schools have adopted the play-way method of teaching. Experts in the field of pre-school education do support the use of toys to teach children the basics in life – be it educational, or life-skills.</p>
<p>Learning toys</p>
<p>Though almost every toy manufactured could be put to teaching-learning uses, there is however a clear demarcation between the fun-toys and the learning toys. What is the difference? As such, the fun toys are used by children predominantly for playing reasons, either in a group or individually, like the dolls. However, they can teach children when used as an effective teaching prop by the parents or teachers.</p>
<p>In the case of learning toys, these are manufactured primarily with the intent to be a learning devise for children. This commonly includes the toys such as the doctor’s kit, the mini-kitchenette, the flash cards, the building blocks, the electronic games that require children to group objects, spelling games, etc.</p>
<p>The learning toys are what are also probably known as teachers in absentia, which basically implies that they function as teachers in the absence of adult supervision. The child basically is given a chance to learn through trial and error, which is considered to be the best method of teaching one permanent concepts, while competing with the self.</p>
<p>Online toys India</p>
<p>In spite of India progressing in almost all departments, especially the economy, yet as far as child development tools are concerned there is a limitation to the original productions here. This basically implies that there is not much of a variety of original Indian toys, as they are either re-produced or imported and sold at the stores.</p>
<p>This is the reason why most people opt for online toy stores, especially those sold abroad. Apart from the choice, the fact is that is a touch reasonable when ordering online in comparison to making a local purchase. How come this variation in price? This is because when toys are imported the retailer sells it at a higher price, which includes shipping cost, stocking costs, as well as other hidden cost to help him reap profits for his outlet.</p>
<p>Online toy stores on the other hand make sales at the market price and charge the nominal shipping fee.</p>
<p>pool toys</p>
<p>When wading and swimming in the water is a pleasure by itself, then why do children require pool toys? This is because teaching a child the basics of swimming, as well as them showing them that being in the water could be fun, rather than something fearful.</p>
<p>Whether the child is in an inflated miniature pool, or the constructed private or public pools, the best way to help them overcome the fear of being in water is by keeping them distracted; and this can be done with the use of pool toys. Apart from that playing in water is known to promote stronger physical development, especially of the arms and legs.</p>
<p>The pool toys generally include the inflatable floats, ducks, fish, etc., as well as the different sized pool balls. Though there are varied advantages of using such toys, the important thing is that the child is kept busy in the pool, without disturbing you from your household chores.</p>
<p>Stuffed animals</p>
<p>A universal toy that is more or less a part of everyone’s life, irrespective of the age, male or female is the stuffed animals. In fact, it is one of the most common valentine gifts given amongst spouses – especially the stuffed teddy bears wearing a heart.</p>
<p>The stuffed animals are also used by infants when they sleep, as the warmth of these toys fills them with a sense of security, especially when they begin to sleep alone, away from their mother. These toys are generally carried around by toddlers and infants, and in fact are regarded as their best friend. Many toddlers are known to have imaginary conversations with their stuffed animals, thereby expressing all that they feel, fearlessly.</p>
<p>Stuffed animals are also used as a punching bag for hyperactive children who are always on the look out for ways to vent their anger and frustration. It in fact teaches them how to vent anger in a healthy manner without causing harm or destruction to another person.</p>
<p>Swimming pool toys</p>
<p>A young child has a number of fears that have to be un-learnt, as claimed by a number of psychologists, counsellors and educationalists. The source of their fears is the lack of knowledge when put into a new situation. This basically means that children essentially fear something new, especially something that takes them away from the comforts of where they belong.</p>
<p>In fact one of the biggest fears every child has is that of water. This is because when first put into a pool, no matter what the depth maybe, they feel like they have no control and are grappling to keep their head above water. However, to make them enjoy even their first experience, you must use swimming pool toys.</p>
<p>The swimming pool toys include colourful floats, rubber and plastic toys, as well as the inflatable ball. These actually make the swimming experience fun-filled, and more than anything it completely eradicates the fear of water, encouraging them to slowly and steadily graduate from a baby pool to the larger one.</p>
<p>Toy chest</p>
<p>The fact is that not everyone is fortunate enough to have a special room dedicated to the child or children, and so it becomes imperative to stock the toys somewhere, as they cannot be left strewn around, creating a menace. This is where the toy chest comes in.</p>
<p>This is an aesthetic preference over the cardboard boxes that have an almost negligible life span in comparison to the toy chest that are either carved from wood or metal. The cardboard boxes would begin to rip in almost no time with the child constantly opening it and closing it.</p>
<p>The toy chest is generally a fancy one, which can be kept under lock and key. This is an important aspect, considering there are times when disciplinary measures have to be taken, and keeping the key away can help one to teach a child a few essential lessons, which otherwise the child may refuse to learn.</p>
<p>Toy poodle</p>
<p>The poodle is popularly kept as a pet in most homes in west because of the fact that it can be aesthetically done up, according to the whims and fancies of the owner. In fact the poodle breed of dogs is considered more as a fun-object, rather than a pet.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this breed cannot be reared in a country like India, though there are many people who do import it from abroad, simply because the warm season here is not conducive for this curly-furred animal. But then to make up for it, one can possess a toy poodle.</p>
<p>Dog lovers would probably put it up on their mantle-piece, whereas young girls derive much pleasure out of decorating it with ribbons and taking it for a walk. The toy poodle in a way teaches girls the importance of grooming and through practise they even master the method of tying a bow. It may sound strange, but it is true, when a girl owns a toy poodle she experiences a sense of sophistication and feels the need to be woman-like.</p>
<p>Toy trains</p>
<p>Adult or child, toy trains have been a tool of learning, pleasure, leisure and entertainment. These miniature train models are manufactured with movable wheels, and in the last couple of decades, toy manufacturers have created the automatic ones that function on electricity or are battery-operated.</p>
<p>Children enjoy toy trains and other automobiles, because of the movement. Some toy train manufacturers create slightly larger models that could be dragged around, while the toddler walks. In fact, such toys are known to encourage toddlers to practice walking and running, there by perfecting their footsteps.</p>
<p>In the case of adults, toy trains play a more significant role in the case of those involved in the railway development industry, as well as those who have a passion for developing their own miniature railway system at home. In the case of the former, the railway architects, engineers and constructors require a miniature railway system that represents the larger one that they are creating across the city, or country. This gives them a solid grounding, helping them to be assured that they are not out of sync with the blueprint of the route determined.</p>
<p>Wooden toys</p>
<p>Wooden toys are among the oldest types of toys that are still popularly manufactured even today. In fact, prior to the invention of plastic toys and those made from other material, there were wooden toys and cloth or what are known as rag dolls. There in fact has been a separate industry dedicated to the development of toys carved from wood.</p>
<p>No doubt, in the days gone by there was a limitation in the number of toys, not because of a lack of creativity, but more so because of the conservatism that existed as far as children’s education was concerned. The educationalists of the times gone by believed that a child learns best under extremely strict disciplinary methods, which in no way inculcated the use of toys.</p>
<p>In fact, toys were limited to the very young, or rather to the toddlers. Once a child entered school, that was more or less the end of their toy days – as only toy weekends remained. So, with a limited market, the wood carvers continued to make toys, until things began to change and toys in general became an essential part of the growing up stage.</p>
<p>Toy truck</p>
<p>While the rugged Indian trucks that ply through the country may not be replicated into a toy truck for children, there are the sophisticated western models that are available almost at every toy store. The toy truck is mainly considered as a boy-toy, in the sense, like they say girls love dolls and boys are obsessed by the automobiles. However, there are the toddler ones that are enjoyed by boys and girls alike.</p>
<p>The most popular type of toy truck is the one in which the child, or rather the toddler can place their things and pull it along. It is in fact, one way of teaching the young one the need and ways of maintaining cleanliness. How? Well, after playing the parent or teacher can have the child pack their toys onto the truck and then guide them to tug it to wear it needs to be placed. This way, teaching them how to tidy up after playing becomes a fun activity.</p>
<p>Apart from those for toddlers, there are the dinky ones that are collected by children and adults. These miniatures are more a part of a hobby activity, then really being a toy to play with, unless there are two or more children playing together.</p>
<p>toy manufacturers in India</p>
<p>Toy stores in a city, country, district, area, or whatever residential space is as important, or compulsory as having a school. The stage from infancy to later childhood is incomplete and unhealthy if the child is not given toys to play with. Whether, the old-authoritarian parents or educationalists wish to accept it or not, the fact remains that toys is an essential part of a young one’s educational process.</p>
<p>It is essential for toy stores to stock up educational toys and games, apart from the fast selling colourful dolls and stuffed animals. In fact, it is upto the storekeeper to bring to the children of the area the latest in learning toys.</p>
