Parents Are Taking the Fun Out of Toys - WSJ.com
I'm thinking this article will appear differently to readers based on their age...
Lenore Skeazy recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal:
"I'd rather the toy biz not create the idea that we parents need to buy certain items or else our children will end up dumber than Play-Doh dogs. Why do classic playthings need to be promoted as occupational therapy meets intensive tutoring? That's what I asked Susan Linn, author of 'The Case for Make Believe.' 'Because otherwise, no one would buy them,' she replied. Oh."
