Side Effects of not Playing

Greeting Parents! We know you all are working hard to raise responsible children that will grow to become responsible adult. Keep up the good work!

Today, we will be sharing with you on how kids learn by having fun. We all know play is one of the most important aspects of a child’s early childhood life. 

There are many benefits—Cognitive, Physical, Social and Emotional developments

Through play, they develop physically and discover a slew of emotional skills, and they learn how to process the world. When children are introduced to educational toys, this gives them an outlet for creativity and experimentation, and play helps them on learning how to interact and communicate with others. 

However, a lack of play can have negative and long-lasting effects. "Studies show that when kids do not have the opportunity to play, they are at higher risk for attention problems and behavior",a childhood expertise explained. “Without proper play, kids do not have the chance to stretch their imagination and build the skills they need to succeed in the workplace and in their life. A lack of play can also stunt an individual’s social and emotional development.”

A good reminder for all parents, do not neglect play that is pivotal for your child's development. Have fun!
