I am also reviewing your item because it popped-up on the Random Review generator. I am so happy this story presented itself to me, because I can't agree more with what you have stated about raising children. Before I get into that, I just want to remark that it had to be especially tough going through pregnancy twice with epileptic seizures returning after so many years. One of my daughters also has epilepsy, but unfortunately, was never able to carry a child through a pregnancy.
Now, as for being an active parent, at home, with books and crayons and play Doh, around our house -- I totally understand what you are talking about. I also talked to my babies, using regular and even complex words. I figured they would master "baby-talk" easily on their own, since it is the babbling stage they go through when trying to repeat your words. My kids were all talking before they were a year old -- and I don't mean a few words, I mean complete sentences. However, I do tend to talk a lot, thus they had no choice but to catch on quickly if they intended on getting a word in edgewise! I believe parents can supply sufficient entertainment and learning skills for their children, without all the expensive groups/clubs you've mentioned above. I even home-schooled my last born. He turned out fine. The return of good old fashioned parenting is long overdue! I'm with you, kiddo.
