Let them play.
Play improves the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children. Through play, children learn about the world and themselves.
They also learn skills they need for study, work, and relationships, such as:
Confidence
Self-esteem
Resilience
Interaction
Social skills
Independence
Curiosity
Coping with challenging situations
PLAY IS GOOD FOR ADULTS TOO!!! Whether it's exercising, knitting, reading, or riding a bike-- wherever you (1) Lose sense of time (2) You do it just because you LOVE it (3) You don't feel self-conscious doing it. Play in adulthood is related to resiliency, joy, life satisfaction, and it curbs against depression and anxiety!
