More playing, less teaching

In this article "All work and no play: Why your kids are more anxious, depressed" by Esther Entin tells how she think kids nowadays are not having enough play and in their life and its effecting there after-life as adults. Since 1955… children free play has been continually declining at least partly because adults have exerted ever-increasing control over children’s activities,” Peter Gray said.  The parents restricted their own children’s outdoor play because of safety concerns, a fact echoed in other surveys where parents mentioned child predators, road traffic and bullies. There are 5 ways play benefits kids. One way is that playing gives children a chance to find and develop a connection to their own self-identity, meaning that the child gets a chance to find their inner self and learn more about themselves. A second ways is that the child learns how to make decisions, solve problems, exert self-control, and follow rules, meaning help them develop an independent theme with their self, learn how to get out of problems without help from an adult. A third way is children learn how to handle their emotion, including anger and fear, meaning learning as sense of self control. A forth way is it can help kids make friends and learn to get along with each other as equals, meaning learning a friendship with their pears. The last way is playing is a source of happiness, meaning we are not here to go to college, life is a fun and play is a part of fun. In conclusion, I think play should become more of a thing to kids because life to me is short and kids love to have fun. Being independent is something that life in the future you going to have to face, a pear is not going to always be there to help, you have to do things on your own.
