yup, I have seen him

I have also seen the top ten list of toys for little girls and boys and count my blessings that I do not have to deal with 7 out of 10 OMG items. You still can opt out of "angry, destructive bird" with a talking globe or a oolgly googly. A programmable robotic rover could be quite brainey or a perplexus rookie game. Keyboards stimulate creativity and are always popular. Crystal growing and stone collecting sets, science, arts and crafts, books!!!!. metal detectors, legos, walkie talkies.... my favorite? a nestview birdhouse.
Love and boundaries are still more compatible than love and permissiveness. Don't buy into the guilt trip of  "all the other kids" however, DO give them options.

Ho Ho Ho
