Top 10 games for dads and kids at home.

"For a small child there is no division between playing and #learning; between the things he or she does ‘just for fun’ and things that are ‘#educational.’ The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play." -Penelope (Psychologist) 💖

Play is the language of childhood, a medium through which children absorb #knowledge about the world around them. From building blocks to make-believe scenarios, each play activity is a lesson in disguise. Cognitive development thrives as children solve puzzles, plan adventures, and make decisions. This intuitive form of learning not only enhances problem-solving skills but also nurtures #creativity as they imagine endless possibilities.

The magic of play extends beyond skill-building. Shared play experiences create bonds that resonate throughout a lifetime. Whether it's a parent joining in a game or children building castles together, these moments forge connections that instill a sense of belonging and security. The relationships formed during play lay the groundwork for healthy social interactions, trust, and #empathy.

👉 Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.

👉 By #playing with your child, you can help her #learn the key physical #skills like running, throwing, kicking and catching. All these body movements contribute to a child developing proper gait and stance, and overall physical health.

👉 While playing with your child, you can model moral values like trying hard to succeed and #sportsmanship, enabling him to imbibe these values.

👉 Playing with your child as a team offers your child the benefit of communicating with you and working towards established #goals.

👉 When you and your child play together, both of you need to work as a #team to play well. Playing well requires both of you to understand each other and plan your moves.
