Doctors stress on the importance of playtime for children

Well said, ‘All work and no play make jack a dull boy.’ This is not a joke man, but a reality. According to American Academy of Pediatrics:

What children really need for healthy development is more good, old-fashioned playtime.

It is misperception of most of the people that in today’s hi-tech world to provide children with videos, computer is the best way; the reality is that children should be encouraged to indulge in natural old-fashioned play so that they may develop their creativity. American Academy of Pediatrics report in this context states:

Numerous studies have shown that unstructured play has many benefits. It can help children become creative, discover their own passions, develop problem-solving skills, relate to others and adjust to school settings. Now most of the doctors have started believing that indulging in natural sports is far better than indulging in hi-tech sports such as videogames etc.

Have you ever pondered over the fact, that your modern children are getting away from the real play, real nature which is driving them in a world of fancy, which is not a right thing.

So why don’t you encourage your child to rub shoulder with natural or so-called old-fashioned sports.
