My Connections to Play

 ~All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy- an old poverb

~Play energizes us and enlivens us. It eases our burdens. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities.-Stuart Brown, MD,Contemporary American psychiatrist

 

 There were many supports from my childhood. I had a father, mother, grandparents,aunts , uncles, and teachers. My mother and father always show me the support I needed to furhter my career. They always let me know I had a bright future ahead for me. I was always an eager child to accomplished all of my goals. My grandparents was like a backbone in growing up. Whenever I needed some words of wisdom, I would go to them for advice. My aunts and uncles were always there to spoiled me rotten. i ove all of the attention they were giving. I felt like a princess growing up and they always make sure I am okay. I had many teachers that would always show. So many of them went out their way to provide the support I needed when I lost my father. I would often look at them as an guardian. I appreicated everything everyone has done in life.

Play has change in any form. I believe today that so many children just leran differently. So many children are finding the wasy way out to pursuing in a good education. There are so many technology out there, that they do not need read books any more. I remember I had to often spend hours at the library. I enjoy the challenge.

Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn. Play is the optimum learning relationship for a child.  The best learners at whatever age or stage of development are those that are best prepared to handle change.As they explore their world, children's play presents them with the fundamental relationships with which they acquire the basic feelings, ideas and capacities to effectively absorb from and adapt to the ever-changing world around them for the rest of their lives
