Play is a gift that transcends generations, a timeless treasure that enriches a child’s life in ways technology cannot replicate. Beneath the surface of laughter and joy, play holds hidden gems that shape a child’s character. In this fast-paced, modern world that we live in today; children are playing less and spending more time in front of the television and a variety of devices, completely inactive for hours on end.
The Importance of Play in a Child’s Life cannot be stressed enough.
Some reasons for allowing your child to play:
– Playing allows children to make choices of their own
– Improves their language skills
– Teaches social behavior e.g. Waiting their turn to use a spade to dig up sand.
– Learning the value of sharing and working together on ideas with other children
– Experiencing texture and smell
– Creativity
– Builds up fine and gross motor skills
– Improves eye-hand coordination.
Have a playful week with your children!
