The SUCCESS System That Absolutely Guarantees You'll
Pick the Right Baby Toy... Every Time!

One of the things that the majority of parents find most
challenging about ensuring the best for their child is picking the best baby toy
anytime they go to a store.
What make this decision making process so
difficult is the lack of general toy buying guidelines, inexperienced sales
personnel and too wide a selection in most stores.
Parents normally end
up buying either the latest gimmick or one which the smooth-talking sales person
feels strongly about.
Many times they end up wasting money on a toy that
gives little or no real enjoyment or development stimulation.
I have a
simple seven-step formula that I use for picking great baby toys in any shop or
store.
This formula allows you to easily choose the right toy for your
baby, regardless of what's available.
This formula is the SUCCESS
Selection System. Each letter (S-U-C-C-E-S-S) stands for one of the seven steps
in the system.
Let's put each of these seven SUCCESS System steps into
action so you can anytime pick the best toy for your baby.
S - SOUND and
music is a very important stimulation source for developing baby senses. Always
try to buy a toy able to make a sound or even play some tune or music. This is
especially important when picking something for 0-3 month olds.
U -
USEFULNESS or play value. It's a good idea to look for toys that'll give
pleasure while still providing the needed baby stimulation. What this means is
looking for toys encouraging babies to DO something... thus promoting some form
of activity. Too often parents like "passive" toys where their child is merely a
bored onlooker.
C - COLORS must be bright and bold for best effect. Child
development experts agree that development of visual awareness is crucial for
even the youngest infant. Black and white plush toys or even other high-contrast
color combinations attract the attention of infants. Which helps them to focus
on objects and eventually see and distinguish at greater distances.
C -
CLASS and quality of any baby toy is essential. Experience shows that high
quality toys are durable and last for many years. The best "rule of thumb" is to
stick to the well-known brand names. Obviously, do not ignore lesser known
brands right away.
E - ECONOMICAL and easy on the pocket. Many great
stimulation "toys" are free. Sometimes it's simply "good enough" to use plastic
kitchen utensils and containers. In most cases these everyday things also
provide lots of stimulation for any inquisitive and developing mind.
S -
SMALL parts should preferably be ignored. At this early stage it's definitely
best to keep away from small parts and bits that can easily be swallowed. Most
parents will immediately spot a great baby toy, but there are products on the
market with too many small parts.
Also, be aware of toys with attached
parts. Babies somehow just have a natural knack to remove and swallow
them.
S - SAFETY is always a prime consideration when buying anything for
our infants. Next time when you go shopping, check for the Safety Standard mark.
Almost all well-known brand names use non-toxic, baby-safe construction
materials. But do check to make sure.
Despite the SUCCESS Selection
system's ease of use, it is a consistent sound guideline for anxious parents
wanting only the best for their baby.
Most parents have little or no
trouble spending money on things for their babies, especially if they know it's
the "right" thing to buy.
This baby toy selection system makes any such
buying experience just a bit easier and ensures your baby gets more development
value for money.
