Play With Your Children In Their (Fantasy World) — Why It Is Important
Children have so many fantasies and they just can play in their fantasy for a long time. I love to see how my children play and what brings them up playing that moment.
They play ‘school time’, ‘teacher time’, they’re skating outside (with friends), they play with their stuffed animals, with friends and so many more games they’re playing. Often not alone. Mostly with their friends, but they also play alone very often. Both are fine, but sometimes it is fun to play with your children together.
They also love playing with their friends. Thye have a lot of play dates with their friends. When they play with friends, they also have a lot of fantasy together. It is so nice to see how they have their fantasy and with what they come up with to play.
Why it is import to play with your children in their fantasy world
As children have a lot of fantasy, like when children draw the sun in a corner onto the paper, or when the teacher — when playing ‘school time’ — is angry or just happy during her ‘class’ moments, you’ll see a lot of things they will fantasize about, processing from the day or any other kind of situation that (recently) has happened.
In their fantasy moments, you can play with your children whatever they’re doing. You can see if they are content in certain situations. They also have to process the day and when you play with them, you can carefully listen to what your child says to her dolls or two barbie dolls.
When my daughters come from school, they are processing what they have learnt at school, they are processing when people visited you and they processed the situations they have been through. Mostly small children are playing what they have been through or processing it all.
After listening carefully, you understand a little bit the comments your child made a few weeks ago. Now you understand why your child is a little bit quiet during school lessons, that is why your child was angry at your child’s classmate.
Try to understand what your child meant. After you discovered it, try to ask her questions while you play with your daughter. She could be said.
When you hear the outcome of what your child said, talk to her on your child’s level of what is correct and what is incorrect.
Another reason for playing with your children is just to feel youthful again. It is important to feel being a child again and just to feel the happy hormone for a while. Look what is happening to your system when you’re playing again.
I still love playing with my children. I love to see their happy face when mommy plays with them too.
Also, my daughters love playing board games with me. They feel loved and understood when you’re playing with them. When you’re playing with them, you can teach them things too.
