Putting Kids First

SELLING TOYS, CHILD DEVELOPMENT, FROM THE AINTS TO THE SAINTS, A GIRL GROUP SINGER

Toys “R” Us was founded by Charles Lazarus in 1948, and the store became the go-to place for children around the world to buy toys. Toys “R” Us declared bankruptcy and Lazarus, who was no longer affiliated with the company, died at almost the same time. T. Berry Brazelton was a Harvard pediatrician who advocated for children, wrote books, and appeared on television explaining child development and reassuring parents. Tom Benson was the New Orleans businessman who owned the New Orleans Saints and reassembled the beleaguered franchise to the point where they won the 2010 Super Bowl. Barbara Ann Alston was the lead singer of the Crystals, one of the great girl groups of the early 1960’s.

Toys "R" Us is an American toy and juvenile-products retailer founded in 1948, with its headquarters located in Wayne, New Jersey, in the New York City metropolitan area.
Founded by Charles Lazarus in its modern incarnation in 1957, Toys "R" Us traced its origins to Lazarus's children's furniture store, which he started in 1948. He added toys to his offering, and eventually shifted his focus. The company had been in the toy business for more than 65 years and operated around 800 stores in the United States and around 800 outside the US, although these numbers have steadily decreased with time

Thomas Berry Brazelton (May 10, 1918 – March 13, 2018) was an American pediatrician, author, and the developer of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). Brazelton hosted the cable television program What Every Baby Knows, and wrote a syndicated newspaper column. He wrote more than two hundred scholarly papers and twenty-four books.
Brazelton's foremost achievement in pediatrics and child development has been to increase pediatricians' awareness of, and attention to, the effect of young children's behavior, activity states, and emotional expressions on the ways their parents react to, and thereby affect them. For example, one of his first publications in the field of psychology was a study with Kenneth Kaye of the interaction between babies' sucking at breast or bottle and the mother's attempts to maintain it, the earliest form of human "dialogue". The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) assesses not only the physical and neurological responses of newborns, but also their emotional well being and individual differences

Thomas Milton Benson (July 12, 1927 – March 15, 2018) was an American businessman, philanthropist and sports franchise owner. He was the owner of the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL) from 1985 to 2018 and New Orleans Pelicans of the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 2012 to 2018.[3]
As a sports team owner, Benson had a Super Bowl victory to his credit, via the Saints winning Super Bowl XLIV.

Barbara Ann Alston, co-founder of the girl group the Crystals, died Friday, Feb. 16, 2018, in Charlotte, following a battle with the flu, according to multiple news sources. She was 74.
The Crystals were one of the most popular female vocal groups of the early 1960s. Their hits included “He’s a Rebel,” “Da Doo Ron Ron,” and “Then He Kissed Me.” Alston sang lead on their first hits, “There’s No Other (Like My Baby),” “Uptown,” and the notorious “He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss).”
The latter didn’t chart successfully, and the subject of domestic violence caused many involved in the production to later disown the song, including songwriter Carole King, who wrote the music alongside lyricist Gerry Goffin. Alston herself was described as “uneasy” about the song.
