I believe in play for my child.

I chanced upon this video about believing in Play, which is important for our child's development in their mental and physical well-being. This video is by KaBOOM! is a national nonprofit organization that envisions a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America. I wonder is there such organization in Singapore since our children are so super stressed up!

I remembered that when I was young, I had lots of freedom to play at the playground near my house, playing hide and seek with my friends and sprained my ankle twice. Playing under the rain with my brother, splashing through the water when we were on our swings. I still remember the taste and smell of the mud water. Eeee! Making sand dolphins. Sadly, I did not have the luxury of having barbie dolls or I don't even remember I had much toys during my age, but was given the freedom to play outside.

Looking back, I really treasured those childhood moments though I did not exactly have a happy family back then. Faced with uncertainties and fear, freedom to play gives me to confidence to explore the world, courage to face the world and its challenges.
