THREE ESSENTIALS OF PLAY

Playing on the playground
My childhood years was an amazing journey. I enjoyed my childhood to the fullest. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would want to be a kid again. My mom and grandparents were very supportive of play. They allow me to play with my friends on a daily basis as well as my siblings. We would play in the yard and never have to worry about one another fighting. When I was growing up everyone was so nice and you never have to worry about kids being kidnapped, murdered, or molested. Growing up as a child with great grown ups to support play was loveable.
I feel that play is similar but yet different in which I was growing up. There are some much technology that hinder kids from getting more of outdoor play than when I was growing up. Even when I was growing up, I really didn't need a certain toy to play with I would play with my own imagination of things and enjoy myself to the fullest.
The role of play throughout my childhood is something that I will never forget. I enjoyed being a kid. I believe that was the most impotant part besides eating. lol!! As I look at the role of play during my adulthood. WOW!! I couldn't imagine if play didn't exist. Even though we are adults and we go on with our daily lives but there is always time for play because I enjoys it.
I think we all wish we could go back and be a kid again! And true children now don't play the way we played then because of technology and things aren't as safe nowadays as they were back then. You really have to think twice before you allow you kids to play outside without your supervision.
ReplyDeleteI have wish at time I could go back and be a kid again. I also feel that technology is hindering children's learning to a point but this world we live in is all about technology.
