Live Healthy, Live Happy, Play With Kids!
Love Being a Kid Again, Love Playing With My Kids
Two little kids giggled and ran and hid as my husband walked in the room to talk to me. The hiding place was behind me, one hiding behind my leg, and the other one behind my back. They often do that because they are assured that I would protect them, protect them from Daddy's tickles and so I thought. So my husband said to our three year-old daughter, "you count while we hide". He hid and jumped out as she walked past where he sat out of sight. She smiled as she exclaimed, “Daddy you scared me!” Then it was her brother’s turn to count. The game was short and sweet, but they loved every minute of it and my husband and I enjoyed it too. It feels great to be a kid again.
Play is not just for kids. Do you agree with that phrase? I do. We all know that play can be a good source of stimulation for our brain and our body, that's why we encourage our kids to learn through play. We also motivate them to learn by doing fun activities with them. Other times, we just let them be kids and play, let them discover new things, be creative and use their own imagination. My daughter is very good at it, she use all sort of kitchen stuff and even invaded my personal pouch bag one time to create her own art work. Sometimes she does pretend play and utilizes whatever things she can find in the kitchen to create her own pretend dish of the day. I don't like the mess, but I'm always impress of her creativity. My husband and I always end up laughing and wonder where she got the idea from. Its tough being a parent, but true indeed spending time and playing with kids are the best way to release the stresses of the day :)
