Best Tool to Teach Baby Talk? Their Parents' Voice

VOA 
Best Tool to Teach Baby Talk? Their Parents' Voice
Summary
This time, how electronic toys affect children was studied in the Arizona University.
The result showed that they're not helping children learn. It is because parents talked lesser with their children when children play with electronic toys than traditional toys, or when children look at books.
Children start learning a language  based on what they hear from parents.
To share and talk with children are important things that parents should do like reading a book.
Playing electronic toys is not bad, but it is better for children to speak more, even if they play electronic toys. It is important that parents make time to play with their children.
Discussion
1.What do you think about educational toys for children?
I think that giving electronic toys will be self-worth for adults. Companies have to sell those to get profit.  Parents don't have or make enough time to be with their children instead of they will give those to the children.
2.Why do you think it is important for parents to talk to their babies?
This article says that children develop their language quicly based on what they hear from parents. To share and talk with children are important things that parents should do like reading a book to them.
3.Do you like children? Do you enjoy being in their company?
Yes, I do. I like children who are honest. They talk about something that they hear and feel. If children aren't honest, that goes the same way to their mother parents. There is a Japanese proverb: Children are faithful reflections of their parents. (Your parent's attitude tells you who you are.)
Yes, I do. I like my job. When children find our company products which are flag keychains, they always start asking what country those flag belong with joy. Seeing those joyful faces makes us happy.
