PARENTS TAKE NOTE.!!!
A teacher started checking homework done by her students. Her husband is strolling around with a smart phone playing his favorite game.
When reading the last homework notes, the wife starts crying with silent tears.
Her husband asked, ‘What happened?’
Wife: ‘Yesterday I gave homework to my students, to write something on the topic, 'MY WISH ’.
Husband: ‘OK, but why are you crying?’
Wife: ‘While checking the last notes, it made me cry.’
Husband curiously: ‘What’s written in the notes that makes you cry?’
Wife: LISTEN......
My wish is to become a smart phone.
My parents love their smart phone very much.
They care about their smart phone so much that sometimes they forget to care for me.
When my father comes from the office tired, he has time for his smart phone but not for me.
When my parents are doing some important work and smartphone is ringing, within single ring they attend the phone, but not to me...
even if I am crying.
They play games on their smartphones not with me.
When they are talking to someone on their smartphone, they never listen to me even if I am telling them something important.
So, MY WISH is to become a smartphone.
After listening to the note my husband got emotional and asked the wife, ‘Who wrote this??’.
Wife: ‘OUR SON ’.
PEOPLE / PARENTS, remember,
Gadgets are beneficial, but they are for our ease not to cease the love amongst family and loved ones.
Children see and feel everything that happens with & around them. Things get imprinted on their mind with an everlasting effect. Let’s take due care, so that they do not grow with any false impressions.

"…I was going to put “play with scissors” and “play riskily” on here, too, but I thought that might freak people out TOO much. 😉

Seriously, though. Here in America, there’s something of a pressure to make your kid do academic work over the summer, or else they might lose their skills or struggle when they return to an academic setting or whatever.

But what with the erosion that I’ve seen of the power of play in childhood, the way that American schools are edging it out further and further in favor of pushing too-early academics and developmentally inappropriate expectations?

I got nothing to say to all of that except “nah”. Spend the whole summer never once thinking about math…OR, even better, let children think about fractions in terms of baking cookies with Dad, money math in terms of running a lemonade stand, weights and measures in terms of how many scoops of dirt it takes to make just the right consistency of mud for whatever mud-hole experiment they’re running perpetually in my backyard.

Play. Play. Play. It’s so important. Go on a vacation, go to camp, sure, and then fill all the other gaps and holes with free, unstructured play. Protect it like it’s essential to your child’s well-being, because it is. Play is how they process the world, how they develop emotional regulation, how they improve their fine motor and gross motor skills, how they have experiences that are worth flexing their linguistic skills about, how their sensory systems make sense of the world around them, how they experiment and reason and explore cause-and-effect and a bajillion other things." - The Occuplaytional Therapist
