Let Them Be, Let Them Grow!

Once you become a parent, your child's safety, development, and overall well-being becomes your topmost priority. We baby-proof our homes, furniture, cars. Even our home equipment becomes more baby-friendly. 

The kind of toys & activities we choose, the kind of entertainment we prefer, all becomes oriented towards the development of our babies. We track milestones; we compare each activity of theirs against age-appropriate developmental milestones & flags. 

While this is absolutely necessary, one should also ensure that we don’t overdo it. A balance of structured play, intervention, free play and just letting kids be is the key to the overall development of a child. 

But why is it important to give kids free playtime & letting them be?

• ▪ It helps kids explore the environment on their own, thus learning a lot of new things.
• ▪ Kids will make mistakes and thus learn what NOT to do if they are left to play without a structure.
• ▪ Kids will gain more confidence by having small wins of exploring things on their own.
• ▪ Their creativity also improves if they create and explore on their own. 
• ▪ Free play encourages the expressions of views & experiences. 
• ▪ Kids connect with nature and outdoors if free play is experienced in open spaces outside the home. 
• ▪ Kids might discover new interests and passions during free playtime. 

The benefits are much more beyond this, on a psychological as well as emotional level.
