Make Their Day, Let Them Play
Don't you want your kids to fully develop?
How does play help children?
Some of the benefits of allowing children to play are:
~Educational development
~Physical development
~Social development
~Emotional development
Free play can contribute significantly to the social and emotional development of young children as it improves language skills and allows kids to practice life skills such as conflict resolution, cooperation, sharing, and problem solving.
