Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy fair. There were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child's emotional intelligence.

Companies showed off their products last week at New York Convention Center.

PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numvers and other things, Edison Duran directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a camera, PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide.

On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company showed an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism(自闭症). "The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent someone else telling him to certain things."

At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company's toys. "The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence." He said Erickson showed off a board game called "Q's Race to the Top". He said the game get his 4-year-old daughter to open up. "The biggest thing is her talking. And that's the key of all this ---getting her feelings expressed out. Like, 'Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?'"

It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.
