Maybe you shouldn't rack your brains and don't need to "deprive the child of childhood", let him play with a teddy bear? Nobody has canceled traditional toys.

Technologies have made great strides here too - today you can buy an interactive toy for the bath, which will help develop new skills of behavior in water.
