Susan Linn makes the case for make believe. It helps children intellectually, helps with reasoning and working out life issues. What hinders make believe is the intense media marketing aimed at babies, children and adolescents. These preformed images often stifle children in their role playing and acting out fantasy. She also touches on how media like baby einstien really do not help babies developmentally.

I worked really hard to make sure my son developed a strong imagination, now the other kids don't want to play with him.
