With multifarious magic cube toys hitting the market and gained immense popularity, I also jump on the bandwagon to buy a recommended musical Magic Cube Toys for my nephew as a gift. To my expectation, the 2 year old boy can't stop playing with it. Well, each side features another instrument, and you add or subtract that instrument by pressing the side. It is great to listen to each sound individually and then have the instruments play together. We love the flute. The music is wonderful. My nephew can start the music just by kicking the cube -- I leave it by his foot so he can kick it easily. That is a really terrific musical toy!Needless to say, the musical Maze Magic Cube can inspire children to sing and compose music with the Sing with Me Magic Cubes. Sing along to favorite songs like "Old MacDonald", "Eensy, Weensy Spider", "If You're Happy and You Know It", "B-I-N-G-O", "Hokey-Pokey," "Pop! Goes the Weasel", "This Old Man", and "Row, Row, Row". Children can press the Flute, Piano, Guitar and Orchestra buttons to compose their own songs. It's easy to arrange music by adding and subtracting musical instruments with a touch of the button. Fun flashing lights blink to the...more

Parenting is not an easy job. There is the overwhelming sense of responsibility. The knowledge that this is the most important job you will ever do, and the nagging fear that you won't do it well. On top of that, there is the daily non stop job of actually caring for and influencing another human being. It is overwhelming! The good news is that children are resilient, so don't despair! You can easily learn ways to parent that increase the joy, lessen the aggravation and give your children the foundation to become happy well adjusted adults.Central to how you're going to parent is your use or non use of punishment. Often punishment is confused with discipline. Punishment is using suffering, deprivation and possibly even physical pain to force compliance immediately. Discipline is guiding the child, instilling proper behavior and presenting the child with alternatives meant to inspire cooperation and trust. For instance if you have a toddler who is following their natural curiosity and notices that pouring milk on the floor is fun and interesting, and suddenly they are punished by a quick slap on the hand and a loud NO! What is being taught? Well the immediate lesson is, don't...more
