To start with I will definitely go for toys.But slowly the habit of reading should be inculcated in the child.This habit of reading really goes a long way in helping the child to develope the language & also learn a lot about the childs world.But at the same time after certain age parents have to keep track of the kinds of books they are in to.The biggest advantage apart from the other things are it will keep them away from other unwanted time pass.

Books are the best companion.The books leave an indelible impression on the minds of the children.Care should be taken about the quality of the books.The books ahould be fun and not boring else the result would be adverse.

I would love to buy toys for the children.And for the right answer we need to decide as to which age group are we talking about too.

I just love buying books as books play a multiple role; increases the vocabulary power for both the child and the parents, enhances the reading habit, triggers of the imagination, takes you to a dreamland etc. The amarchitra kathas I read when I was a kid, I have not forgotten till date and would certainly like to introduce my daughter to them at the earliest.Buy or borrow, just read the books and they will be your best companions.

The choice depends on age groups and kids interests. Like my son he is 5, he is very much interested in playing. My daughter enjoys teaching. We can encourage them to read story books. By reading books they will explore new things.

I suppose one could provide a child with Books & Toys and allow him/her to make a choice, however one should not compromise on efforts to inculcate a habit of reading in one's child as books are a major source of knowledge and have a bearing on one's personality as well. Toys are equaly essential as fun and frolic are an inseparable part of childhood.

Books provide a large amount of knowledge. I would like to inculcate the habit, or I might say, a hobby of reading in my child.

I think the chice would depend on a childs age. If a child is small i.e. below 7yrs then a toy would be a good idea,whereas if a child is above 7yrs a book would be nice.And for teenagers, clothes as well as books can be given as they get fashion consious at this age!

Books, Toys and Clothes All needed for development of a child. It depends how old your child is. If baby is too small you need clothes and toys, if baby is little bigger then you can think about story books. Demand changes at each and every stage of your child growth.

Books are not the only means for a childs development. The actual development comes from their thinking, ideas.That they can earn only by playing.By playing, a child's mind develop.In this speedy life, they should get relax also. Let our chilrens be happy happy and happy. So the success will come automatically.......

I agree with rupal, that books alone are not enough. My daughter absolutely lovs books, but then the problem is that she just hates physical activity. I think we may have encouraged her too much towards books and enough towards physical activity. I would buy activity toys for my daughter.

I don't believe in just buying books. I think larning should be dome in a manner that is fun. Ye, you should start the reading habit when they are young. But I persoanlly would prefer buting stimulating toys, where they are learning as well as having fun.
