Essential. Avoids early-onset Track Frustration Sydrome (TFS)
The recently defined Track Frustration Syndrome [TFS] (See the DSM-IV for diagnostic criteria) is directly linked to wooden train track construction, particularly among middle class professionals who also exhibit Amazon Review Reading tendencies (also defined in the DSM-IV). Longitudinal analysis suggests a strong enough correlation that intervention strategies are necessary for remediation.
In one study (Hunter et al, 2014), subjects were given one administration of the Wooden Track Adapter intervention. Immediately upon receiving the intervention, subjects demonstrated significantly lower TFS than the control. This is also linked to lower TTS (Track Throwing Syndrome) among 2-5 year old subjects.
In conclusion, buy this to avoid swearing in front of the children.
