Benefits of Playing
1. Improves Physical Health
Physical play, like running, skipping, and riding a bicycle, helps kids grow up and become healthier adults. It helps:
- Good physical health
- Agility
- Stamina
- Coordination
- Balance
2. Makes them “Team-Players”
Playing can help children learn how to interact with other people. It is good for a child to listen, pay attention, and share play experiences with others. It helps them explore how they feel, develop their own self-control and learn how to talk about themselves.
3. Cognitive Development
Play enhances your child’s ability to think, understand, communicate, remember, imagine and work out what might happen next. Children want to learn how things work, and they learn best through play. Children at play are solving problems, creating, experimenting, thinking and learning all the time.
Parenting that is fun
Through play, parents can connect fully with their children and have a lot of fun with them. You can help your child play but you should not be in charge of what happens. An adult should not make all of the decisions about how, what, and when their child plays.
Give them the freedom to be exactly who they are, and you can join in as well! Spending time playing with your child is especially good for your child’s cognitive development. That’s because playing together builds your relationship and sends a simple but powerful message – you are important to me.
This message is key to helping your child learn about who they are and where they fit in the world. It also gives your child confidence to keep exploring and learning about the world.
