Play-Based Activities Serve as an Effective Developmental Tool for Children
“Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul.”- Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel One of the first things we all must keep in mind while educating young children is that their ways, approaches, and pace of learning is remarkably different from the adults. As adults, we rely more on facts and figures to improve our knowledge, but for children, it is more about learning through their own feelings. They learn through their interactions with others and by comparing their own physical experiences. Thus, play-based activities form one of the most effective tools in their growth and development. After all, activities like these bring together the creative and logical parts of their brains and also involve their physical strength and efforts. On that note, let us delve further into our topic of discussion for today and see how play-based activities act as a developmental tool for the young minds.
