My Connections to Play

Quotes:

1."Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.”
Dr. Haim Ginott

I love this quote because it describes how children pick up everything they hear and see. I know that children learn most by what they see on television, radio and in their home environment. This quote should be shared with other because it describes how cautious parents and adults should be when talking around curious children.

2. Children are like sponges, they soak up every thing they hear and see.

When I was younger, the role of play was very important in my life. I went outside daily and played with my two friends, Alice and Natila. I loved them deary and we all worked together to discover our creative side! Our parents all agreed that play and learning was very important. We all went to preschool together and we learned a lot about the importance of being creative and learning through play.

I totally feel that play has drastically changed from when I grew up. Play was considered fun when I was young. I was encouraged to play outside daily and I had some much fun while playing. Today, children have more video games and the use of the internet which distract children from playing outside. I feel that children need fresh air and exercise to stay healthy. Due to the play that I did as a child, I was able to focus more on my work when I went to school as a young child.
