During playing, kids learn to fight, learn to understand other kids, learn to make up, learn to forgive and forget, but when you dont allow them to mix with other kids to learn these basic rules, they grow up without them and end up lacking the ability to forgive and forget, ability to fight and make up, ability to understand other people. Nothing is useless, do not rub your kids of their childhood. 5 Likes |

children should be allowed abundant time, particularly during holidays,to recover from school stress. |

Playing back then even gave us some informal education in addition to formal educcation. I remember then we even learnt some school works unconciously while playing. We built things, pure innovation. When i see some of todays technology, i laugh and say we built this in the past as a kid. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES Olu, Uzor, Alima a DULL CHILD. 2 Likes |

Gr8 write up, a child psychologist wouldn't av done better,if u r not one. It is so painful d stress kids r put to these days by d parents all in d name of education. The kids r so engaged all in d name of keeping them busy so much that they don't even av time to review their school work. The schools aren't helping matters, play grounds seems to av disappeared from ur schools these days, little wonder we don't even perform well as a nation in sporting activities. I am very sure that growth should involve every aspect of a being. How come our teachers and school administrators who taught us these things r guilty of this. Government should mandate all schools to av their own play grounds big enough as a standard football pitch. Parents should allow their kids' brain rest and rejuvenate through creative sporting activities which helps kids build and cultivate d habit of good decision making. 1 Like |

Well you can't compare 20years ago to today, don't live in the past please, then everybody was sociable not nowadays, and I'd advice you choose the kinds of play they indulge in and do monitor them!. My kids should be indoor, and they will play when they start listening to me!!! |

Very nice FP topics today I played to my heart's content, and intend for my children to also Wait, who even born me to lock them in? If they are anything like my siblings and I, they'll probably find a way to make that playtime work eg. frustrate the neighbors till they beg the parents to let them out My cousin plays like she's crazy, but that girl is so intelligent and smart I can't tell what planet she fell out of 2 Likes |

I know a dad who does not allow his (twins) kids go for those holidays coaching. Instead he enrols them as apprentices. The girl learns fashion designing and the boy is into carpentery. And both are straight A's students. When I asked the dad why, his reply was simple "there is more to life than education and studying" Which I think most parents are yet to realize. Let your child grow at his or her own pace. Allow them to play, let them explore other side of life that doesn't have to do with a formal education. A child needs a balanced life. 2 Likes |

Madcow has done it all. I can relate to all the games u listed bro. @OP, nice observation. I actually think a little bit of creativity is lost when everything is structured around kids. We need to let them explore and if possible create their own toys ( kites, catapults etc) I am not against the Xbox and game boys but as parents u can create the blend between the new and the old. Mind u, I believe the old way kids play actually enhances their health. |

oathman: my parent gave me opportunities to play when i'm still a kid but i prefer to stay indoor then because i just don't like kids in my area (lagos island kids) Other way round for me. I would always sneak out on my mom. Even take a longer route to get to my friends/neighbours house just so my mom won't see me and stop me. She later gave up and let me be. But when the time to stop came, no one told me. I knew I had to face my studies squarely. 1 Like |

eleojo23: Originally posted by me on April 27, 2014.1000likes for you Op! Parents of nowadays treat children like trophy's instead of human beings: my child can do this, my child can do that, my child can read and he's only 2yrs old, my child is in kg3 already and she's 3yrs...selfish parents! Most of the parents are not interested in the joy of their children, they are too busy comparing their kids with others for their own useless reasons. Selfish parents! 5 Likes |

OP, you have a point there. Even secondary school students are not spared with school period lasting from 8am - 4pm every week day. Gone are those days when school periods last from 7am - 1pm. Funny enough, the long hours they spend in schools doing preps & extramural classes do not reflect that well in their SSCE results. I guess we need a total system overhauling. |
