Play is Okay!
If I could, I prescribe to all my patients and all parents who know a daily play time ... I'll tell it, the game has many more benefits than you think ...
The game is very important in childhood. When children play, learn and explore their world, communicate with others, discover many things and above all, have fun. Did you know that when we play that are released into your body substances that produce a pleasurable effect? So when we play we have fun!
When a girl plays a mother, not only expresses and reproduces the things you observe your mom, but suffers from the role of mother in the future held. The same happens when a child plays at being a doctor or shopping. When a child plays puzzles, exercise their memory and abstract reasoning. When a child plays football or a board game, you can learn to work together and to respect rules. When a child plays with a box and says it's a car, develop their creativity and imagination.
When parents play with their children, can open a space for communication unimaginable, it is amazing what you can discover when you share a bit of play with a child. Not only spend time together, but can communicate more and understand their needs. It's amazing that a daily play time can make a thousand times more than what is achieved with a cry or a punishment.
Really! Often parents of children with behavioral problems, tested thousands of strategies to control them as punishment, yelling and even spanking. Often these children seek attention and time from their parents and when you open a space for the game family, behavior problems disappear quickly.
However, with the rush of life these days, I see with sadness that children have very little time to play, and even worse, parents have even less time to play with their children. I have seen it thinks the game is a waste of time and only played when there is free time.
The point is that kids today have very little free time! School ends at 2:30, then eat and then to swimming or karate class, then to do homework club home or work, then you have to bathe, eat and prepare for sleep. If you have time you can watch TV or play video games. Does this sound familiar this routine?
I understand how complicated life is now and apart from being a parent when you have to work and do housework, however, wanted to share this article how important it can be a little bit of family game day and everything can be obtained when a space dedicated to play with children. I know that sometimes parents can deplete them ideas to play with their children ... Do not worry, read the following article.
greetings! Myr.
