Do all you can to encourage play time — alone, with young friends and with the family. Play is not as simple as it sounds, In a child’s early life, play is as important as food and good care. |t can be a part of all the daily experiences between parent and child — feeding, dressing, housework, shopping. There’s the exploratory play of a baby. There’s play at almost every age: games of make-believe, constructing things out of puzzles and models; play with paints, cut- outs and clay; outdoor play with a ball. ‘LEARNING THROUGH PLAY Play helps your child to learn about himself and the world around him, He discovers how to solve problems. He learns self-control, co-operation, confidence. He mas- ters new skills and expresses himself creatively. Good, hard play aids both physical and mental develop- ment, Moving, running and yelling are all part of play. It’s a pity that most of us stop playing when we grow up Play is good for us, DIFFERENT KINDS OF PLAY. Play is learning by pretending to be mummy or daddy, doctor or nurse, teacher, postman, policeman, At times this play-acting also expresses anger, fear, pleasure and so on. It’s a healthy outlet. Play can be creative as well. But to encourage ‘sel f-expres- sion, your child must have praise and recognition. Be in- terested! : - A CHILD NEEDS PLAYMATES By playing with others, he begins to discover this own strengths and weaknesses. He develops feelings of be- longing and importance, Usually each child in a group is good at some activity. Each can enjoy being a leader sometimes. Play with other children can be arranged with neighbors, in park programs, play groups, etc. Visit the program yourself. Talk with the group leaders. See if you find it a safe and happy place. PARENTS ARE PLAYMATES,TOO: You can do more than just provide the materials for play Join in, Play checkers or monopoly; do the difficult glu- ing on the model plan; rough-house in.the park. Play can be a part of many activities; including shopping. But be sure to let your children take the lead. Adults are inclined to take charge, perhaps even compete. It’s the child’s self-confidence that needs building, not yours. Remember that camping trips, hikes, summer vacations and Saturday outings are a chance to share activities. The bonds of companionship and understanding will help you deal with the ups and downs of family life dis- cussed le vmany, of the pamphlets in this series.

Cassiar Courier July 1980 Page 15° STARTING SCHOOL IS A BIG STEP: FOR BOTH OF YOU Many children “‘play school”. Their ideas of what school will be like are shaped by older sisters and brothers, and by parents. Be positive about school. Describe it as some thing you'll share and enjoy with the child, a place to make new friends and learn exciting new things. ’ Try to give your child a glimpse of school life before he starts. Is there an open-house for pre-schoolers? Arethere sports events or games that the family can attend? Perhaps the strongest influence is the attitude of older children, Do they jokingly put down schools, teachers and the whole system? Don’t let them sour your pre- schooler before he has a chance to put his foot in the door, Once in school, children should be encouraged to choose their own friends and to bring them home. But parents face a dilemma: extreme freedom or tight control over friends? Trust him and help him solve any problem that develops. He may choose a timid friend because he him- self feels timid. He may choose an outspoken friend be- cause he wants to be like him. If he is being ‘‘used” by another child and given no chance to develop on his own, the friendship should be discouraged. At nine or ten, expect the “gang” stage of secret clubs. Encourage wider activities: cubs, brownies, the ‘Y’, 4-H clubs, church groups. ation programs in your community. Now and then stand back and watch your child at play. You'll pick up little clues that will tell you a great deal about how he’s growing. GOOD TOYS VS. BAD TOYS ' Here are four ways to spot the good toys. 1. As well as being appealing, they suit the child’s age and abilities. 2. They have several parts which can be juggled around for creative play, _3. They stimulate your child to learn more difficult and complicated skills. 4. They are built to last — no sharp corners, no poisonous paints, no loose bolts. Don’t be fooled by bright colours, fancy boxes and big prices. Home-made toys are often the most appealing and creative. PLAN YOUR CHILD'S PLAY ACTIVITIES - Try to develop a pattern of daily activity: time for social and solitary play, reading, studying, helping around the home, special projects such as music les- sons or pets. As he grows older, he can join in the planning. i It helps if you have both outdoor and indoor space for play, with a permanent corner that’s all his for projects, games and books. If his boundaries of time and space are well though-out and discussed with him, his life and yours will run more smoothly. It often helps if parents of children who play together a great deal can set common guidelines. A bed-time of 7:30 p.m, chaos, . Never under-estimate the value of play. Encourage it. Look into the programs of toy lending libraries, “Y’ programs, day-care centres, social agencies, nursery school associations, etc, Play has an important place in developing the character traits and personality that your child will carry through life.
