First toy guns, now toys:
Children at playschool in Austria are having their toys taken away in the belief it will help them fight drug addiction and alcoholism later in life.
The project called 'toy-free kindergartens' will see groups of youngsters forced to go without their usual classroom playthings for three months to make them more independent and socially integrated. . .
"Pilot tests have shown that taking away children's toys encourages them to think more about how to entertain themselves. They become more social and even those on the outside of the group find a positive role," she said.
