Each child is unique in their abilities. Parenting is about revealing & recognizing these precious gems within your children. Play & games not only expose physical abilities but, are great ways to expose mental, emotional, and innate attributes that your children possess. It also allows the opportunity to instill values, morals & principles in your children.
Allow your child to use their logic during this time and ask them to explain their actions that follow. Knowledge is easier to obtain than wisdom. Wisdom can only be acquired by understanding our errors. Correcting your child through play & games, create a receptive learning environment for both, children and parents. Be open, to not only teach, But to be taught.
“The child who is not taught by the parent, will be taught by the world.” – Swahili proverb (Mtoto ambaye hajafundishwa na mzazi, atafundishwa na ulimwengu.)
Discovering your child through play & games has limitless benefits. It can give the parent a sense of security when their child is independent of them, by knowing how your child will go about analyzing a situation and solving a problem.
“Train up children in the way they should go, and when they are alone or with peers, they will not depart from it.”
– Inspired by Proverbs 22:6
