Knowing What Your Kids Are Into

It should be easy to know exactly what your kids go nuts over, but life isn't always as easy as it should be.The problem is that parents just don't have the time to spend with their kids that they used to. Twenty years ago, the world economy was in nice shape, and it wasn't hard to support a family on a single income. Today, that's not really the case. Stay at home parents are becoming working parents, working parents are becoming two job parents. When the economy takes a hit, the family tends to get hit hardest.

Throughout 1930's baseball cards sites, you're going to find hundreds of options and plenty of recommendations for all different kinds of toys, but here's the thing; we can't tell you what your kids like. 1983 Fleer baseball cards can point you towards toys marketed for girls, or toys marketed for boys. Toys for this age group or that age group, toys for outdoors kids, toys for indoors kids, etcetera, but we can't suggest something and then guarantee that your 1963 Topps baseball cards is going to love it.

The only way you're going to know how to make your kids happy is to spend time with them.

Parent-child time is so important, and yet, it tends to be the first aspect of family life to suffer during hardship. Make time for your kids, whatever the cost. The only way to know what a kid loves, or what anyone loves for that matter, is to know them. Take at least one day a week and devote that day to family time. This can be tricky when your kids reach the double digits and they're too cool to be seen with their parents, but that's an easy enough hurdle to get over for something so important.

Selecting Toys

If you're spending enough time with your kids, they shouldn't have to tell you flat out what would be the perfect gift, it should be obvious. If you do need a little help narrowing it down, though, here are a couple of top sellers...

WALL-E

WALL-E was basically the family movie of 2008. Besides the adorable robotic mischief and space adventure, there's a lot within this movie that makes it worth coming back to years later. Kids know that WALL-E is an endearing character. The minute you see him, you know More Fun Comics away that he's going to be one of the classic movie robots, alongside C3P0 and R2D2. However, the movie is also a fascinating and complex statement on personal responsibility, and it provides more food for thought the older you get. Wall-E action figures and toys aren't going to be stuffed into the closet and forgotten about anytime soon.

LEGOS

Okay, Legos are probably the one foolproof toy that any kid will love. If you can find a kid who doesn't love Legos, go buy a lottery ticket and stay out of the rain, because somebody probably put a curse on you to have the most improbable things happen to you today. Legos are sort of an adaptive toy in a way. One kid might make a fighter jet out of Legos while his sister makes a fully customized dollhouse. Legos are anything that a kid wants them to be.

There's nothing wrong with looking into what the hot toys are right now, just don't let it be a stand in for spending real, quality time with your kids.
