By allowing our kids to watch TV programs like Dora The Explorer or play with 'Diego toys' we are trying to open them up to the best opportunities through developing their hunger for learning. Parents all want what's best for their offspring including the best in education and all the successes that may come with it. A common belief is that that earlier a child starts to develop to more their brain will absorb thus increasing their chances of success. However I believe it's not only the amount of new information a young mind can/ will absorb but the ability to process that information.
For the right age group it's most beneficial for young children to play, this allows them to be creative and help to develop their individuality, imagination and thinking ability. For a later age group more challenging tasks or games like Lego or puzzles might be best these are suitable for helping to develop their problem solving skills, and decision making capability.
When it comes to problem solving skills or trying to learn a new task I think a fun, brightly coloured and interactive program is great for the kids. Where languages are involved like in Dora the explorer or Go- Diego-Go there are many strengths and benefits. One such strength is breaking the race barrier due to the multi cultural characters. Also the inclusion of different languages is a challenge for the child and a valuable method of pushing their thinking ability at an early age. The benefit of these programs and games is that by working the mind the child they may optimise their learning and reach their full potential.
The Diego toys range and Dora the explorer toys and DVD's are a way of implementing educational toys into a market with the maximum benefit to the kids.
