The children these days seem to
be deprived of the flexibility to play. When are they allowed to run outside
and play with the others? People play to learn and to connect with each other. They
learn useful problem solving skills as well as endurance.
The communication skills a child
learns on a playground can change the outlook of their entire life. Play is a
crucial learning tool for kids and is essential for their physical and mental
development. Taking turns on a swing set, learning that four kids don’t fit
well going down a slide or building castles together in a sand box are memories
each child deserves to have with commercial playground equipment.
Can you
think of a time you wished someone had better communication skills? As play
structures are becoming more creative and unique, there are also a waning
number of children who are brought out.
Parents
are relying upon educational facilities more often these days although the
system is weakening. It’s easy to blame schools, but who has the real power
over the lives of the children?
Parents
are the overall enforcers of their kids’ lives. The time has come for us to
loosen our fears for our kids and let them be their selves. The general lack of
play in our society is all around and it is up to us to change it.
We all
know what a kid would rather be doing right now – so just take them by the hand
and lead them there! Whether it’s to your local playground or waterpark, your
child will be thankful to be outside having fun. You will be impressed with
what your child is capable of and how their personality comes out!
