Description

You may be amazed at the surprising benefits children get from playing board or card games.  Things that go together may appear to be a simple game, but it stimulates the frontal lobe development.  Beatrice Tauber Prior, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist, author said, “Those frontal lobes are responsible for executive function skills, which include planning and organizing.”  The toddler environment and family time playing games like this boosts their language development and, indirectly teaches them to subconsciously recognise items that naturally go together.
