Yes, it's essential for children to be loved and nurtured - but that alone is not enough. I'm sure you agree it's also, for example, a good idea to teach them to read.
While I'm against the floods of plastic tat aimed at children, if you want your child to have good spatial awareness it's a good idea to buy him bricks, shape sorting games and jigsaw puzzles. If you want to nurture his creativity, buy plasticene, paints, crayons and paper, and so forth. And bikes, skateboards and roller blades are fun and will ensure your child is fit and not overweight.
