It is a tradition in western countries society for children to be looked after by their parents, but the requirement of two-job households refers that childcare is often allotted, part of the time to child minders and part of the time to crèches. Most of the western countries have obligatory education and at the time when the child is at school, the school is supposed to act as a loco parent. In case where parents are missing or found dead, or may be unfit to care for their children, state agencies like social services might take on the childcare role. Opulent people who desire the services of experts might delegate the parental role almost completely to nannies.
Today many organizations probably in the developed countries campaign for no cost or subsidized childcare for all, even other such movement for tax breaks and allowances to let parent’s non-finance driven choice.

Novelty might have something to do with it, but the common underlying reason for a child losing interest in a child learning toy is that they have learnt everything that the toy has to teach them. You will need to find a new source of stimulation, but don’t throw that old toy out yet. If it taught a concept or a skill, that can be revisited later and reinforced, but only after a little while.
When you go to the toy store to look for a new child learning toy, your first instinct is to go with one that will likely keep your child occupied for some time. While this should be a concern, your primary one should be choosing a child learning toy that teaches a skill or a concept that is new to your child. This should be in key with your child’s development. The toys you buy your child will need to be constantly updated to ensure that they are learning and developing at the proper rate.
