Age appropriate toys/games question

[Guest guest]

My 10 year old son (4th grade) has been with Dr. Goldberg for six years. He's

made a lot of inprovements but is still behind his peers. Educationally he's

one-two grades behind. (Reading Comprehension is his weakest point- he's doing

first grade work for that at school.) For social/expresive language skills he's

at about a 4 year old level.

I'm wondering if I should try to introduce him to more toys/games/movies that

are closer to being on target with his peers.

Is a gap in toys/entertainment verses age " normal " for our kids?

Will he become more age-appropriate with toys as he catches up in the other

areas he's behind in?

Right now he still loves Elmo/Sesame Street., Nick JR shows/characters, Barney,

the Tank Engine and watches them and plays on the websites and such.

He still plays with Little People, no action figures or cars.

He is good with building- block structures, Lincoln Logs, and the GeoTrax

tracks.

The most " mature " movies/characters he likes are Charlie Brown/Peanuts and

Kermit the Frog/Muppets.

Any ideas for toys/games/etc that might help bump him into a level of play that

is above preschool?

Or does it even matter what toys he's playing with and movies he's watching at

home?

Any ideas or stories to share?

Thanks!
