It is natural parents notice chid play
time is not a valuable time at schools. But Play time teaches them everything
they need to know rather than let them explain
and teach in the traditional way. I will explain the parent what is the
value of play and we are already starting teaching. Teaching is included in
their play activities. This is where the teacher has to act as a
guide. One of the responsibility of the teacher is to update parents. Sometimes
parents don't like someone offense them. But as a teacher i should
explain them the value of play and play is more than just running and jumping.
I will also invite parents to spend one day in a preschool environment and
understand what is playing really is. A parent can observe the benefit of
themselves. Play is the primary context in which young children learn and grow according to
the NAEYU standards. Everyone in this earth eventually turns
to play. From an insect to large elephant they all naturally intend to play. Play
time is the Most favorite things for kids. During play time they develop their
emotional , physical , Creative and social skills. The culture , discipline , Learning
& future begins with their playtime, once they demonstrate different characters
, waiting for their turns, obey to the rules, respect to each other, express
feelings & verbal & non verbal communication
maturity. The play is very important to develop their Nerves & Muscle .
Muscle movement begins when a nerve cell
receives an electronic message from the brain known as an "action
potential". Also it has helped to digest foods
& to develop blood circulation. Moreover they are expressing their feelings such as
anger, happiness these are important for their emotional maturation. Creative
play helps them to identify different roles, using brushes & puzzles, sand
& water grow their motor skills. It is always better to find matching
playmates for kids since every action
they take help their cognitive development. Taking leadership, sharing, being
generous is the shadows to their adolescence. At this time parents need to
identify the importance about active play & supply them age appropriate
materials. Buying expensive toys for kids is not a good idea since they will do
an experiment with them & this will stress out parents. At this stage we can provide them papers
to tear/cut/past, food cans , balls, large pieces to small kids since they put
everything in their mouth, Water/sand for children 2 years up & it's helped
them to learn about levels, amounts. This is their very first math lessons.
They also can feel water weather it's cold or hot , what will happen when it
spill on the ground, what happened to the water after it absorb. Theses are
their first science lessons. 3 year old
loves to do sculptures therefore clay, play dough are the best option for them.
Going further different age group need advance method of these materials for
them to play & learn. When I was a kid we were playing all day long. We
made food out of sand and water, we were singing poems, songs about the nature
and practical life. We were very relaxed and Stressless. The play built a
strong relationship with nature and human. All our sibling and cousins played
together. It's made our relationships very strong & we learn from each
other. We learn how to respect each other. Common sense has built when we
struggle with the environment. As a teacher all the things I explain is very
important to me. It has helped kids to be happy and smart. Our future depends
on their creativity therefore playtime is equally important for their
development.
