melanie1208 yes, its true I guess she could play with it from time to time but not all the time. It would help her develop other skills but im afraid it would be no good if she plays with it all the time.

melanie1208 Thats a good point, I think we should find a study about this. Or maybe there is one already which I have not found. But I guess what I can do is to limit her time in playing, like an hour.
