Gearhead Mom

I am a toy gearhead. I am a mom. Therefore, I am Gearhead Mom. I review the good, the bad and the (often) ugly in the world of baby and childhood gear.

Old Fashioned Play vs the Video Game

Posted by Missy W. @ 9:56 AM

Roger heard some interesting articles on NPR this week. This article is about how old-fashioned play (based on the activity versus the toy itself) helps executive function (self-regulation).

And then check out the follow-up article about a pre-school that focuses solely on teaching how to implement executive function.

Ok, well, I’m going to go and sell all of Roger’s video games now. Just kidding, hub. Sort of.
