Title: Too loud, stimulating for developing brains
Product review: I will sound very old-fashioned and out of touch in complaining of this toy's too-loud noises. Almost every child these days seems to have some digital squawk box of some type. But that doesn't make it smart.I would not submit such a very young child to noises this loud or unnatural (electronic). No, it won't damage their hearing per se. But parents must understand that this kind of over-stimulation in a young one's brain has more than a momentary effect; it can have a long-term and adverse auditory affect.Same with the lights. If you have to go to these lengths to capture a baby's attention, what will you do for Act II?How can you expect a child to pay attention to soft instruction/guidance/response from a parent when they have gotten accustomed to over-the-top stimulation?Yes, ADHD is genetic; toys like this won't "cause" ADHD. But overstimulation at any age has an effect on the brain, and not a good one.
