Hell you would probably do better developmentally buying them a Wii or something.

I think the v-tech and Leap Frog type of things are absolutely great! Everything in moderation. Children start playing video games in order to learn, in order to have fun, in order not to be bored, etc. And they get in the habit of doing that and not going outside to play.

When we were younger, my brother and I spent time playing catch, riding bikes, playing hide and seek, tag, etc. My nieces and nephew spend all of their spare time playing computer games.

You can't do that anymore. Too many predators out there, too many bike wrecks waiting to happen. Can't let them skin their knees because of the flesh eating bacteria. Can't play ball games because the kids who aren't as good might feel bad. Can't play chase games because the slower ones might feel bad.

Just have to keep them inside playing with their plastic toys with the safely rounded corners, wiped down with sanitizer daily.

It is an effort to continue the pussification of man. "Get your child this toy. Just think, in 20 years, he too can answer phones, iron the clothes, cook, and do the dishes when he gets home from work" Made by Oprah, right? Just kidding actually, I do all the cooking in the house, and my son likes to "help" (read make a mess) too. Nothing wrong with it. It would be nice if it came in less fem colors though.

But a Wii can be considered another word for a penis so when his kid is holding the remote it could be considered the same as holding a penis, therefore he is not going to get it for him because it might possibly be construed as gay
