RE: Here's your change

in LeoFinance4 years ago

Children do play. The magic of childhood is that almost everything can be play to them and everything can be educational because they have so much to learn. I "played" with my mom's sewing and crochet tools, loaded shotgun shells for my dad, ran for hours through woods and pastures, and read everything (mom had to hide things from me because I would read bills, personal correspondence, anything with words.) I also had critters to play with (mostly hound dogs) and neighbors and cousins.

Sort:  

Play is poorly visualized by most people - they think it is meant to be useless. Play is about building life skills and even sports used to be based around this - running, hunting, fighting. Life has changed, so what is "sport" changes too, but I think reading is going to be a skill of value for a long time to come.
