The concept of dolls specially adapted for gifted children is an intriguing one. One of the things that children love to do is play. Play is very serious, especially the type that involves dressing up and pretending. An example of a doll of this type is Daffydoll, an abstract educational doll that changes its character through changes of clothing. It is a challenging game for a gifted child and is also used in home schooling and preschool.
Emotional intelligence is a new and important aspect of a child's education.
Developing a child's emotional intelligence gives him or her the tools to understand and communicate feelings. Peaches and Babin are dolls that develop emotional intelligence in children. They have seven faces depicting different emotions, and these faces can be interchanged. These dolls develop in children an ability to recognize feelings and communicate them effectively. Gifted children can also have their problems and social difficulties.
