The modern world is filled with games … computer games …
We jumped from garages, made fires, dug holes in snowdrifts. Returning home with a blush, brutal appetite, bruises and abrasions, interrupting each other, they told their parents about their exploits.
Now children are quiet, they are "obedient", they do not interfere with their parents, sitting at the computer … Life takes place in virtual … If there is no smartphone, computer or tablet at hand, these children do not know what to do with themselves.
Faced with reality, they are at a loss: how to live, how to communicate, how to solve problems, get out of dead ends … virtual reality he is a hero!
Children grow and develop by playing real games in everyday life. Play is an incremental way of developing the brain. Play skills help a person to see a variety of possibilities, life scenarios and easily find a way out even from dead ends.
There are many games, each type of game develops certain skills.
Game setting
Teaches you to recognize, express and control emotions, establish emotional contact. They begin to play such a game with a child from the first day of life. An adult holds a child in his arms, looks into his eyes and utters sounds, lisps and hums ("guli-guli"). The child says sounds in response, and mom (dad, grandmother …) play along with him. For serious "adult" dads, this behavior of a mother with a child seems to be an "idiotic" occupation. But in fact, this is how the development of the emotional sphere is laid. Those children with whom they were "under-walked" grow up "frostbitten", withdrawn, emotionally cold, indifferent.
Body-motor games
Essential for the formation of bodily skills, reaction, coordination, a sense of balance. Help your child roll over, jump, run … In the process of physical activity, the brain is formed and develops.
Games with objects
Any manipulation of objects forms connections between brain cells, the center of speech and problem-solving skills! One of the variants of these games is the construction set. In infancy, everything will do - from a pyramid to a mosaic, from buttons, spoons to a saucepan. Practice modeling and painting with your child.
Social games
- Learning social roles and interaction in the game with other children or adults: on the topic - you will be a dad, and I will be a mom; let's play doctor and patient, etc.
- In "rough" games, where they catch up, push, kick out, the skill of controlling rough emotions, the concept of honesty, and a sense of social norm are formed (you can clap, gouge out your eyes - no).
- A game-holiday of the "Loaf" type is learning to jointly celebrate any events, to receive and share the joy. Celebration, as the process of consecrating an important event, makes it especially valuable.
Imagination game
A game in which a child portrays someone or something is necessary to develop the skill of understanding other people, the formation of empathy.
Narrative play
Any story or narration that allows events to be presented as an interconnected chain of images. Story games allow you to understand the world as a whole, your place in the world, expand your horizons and personal opportunities.
Transformative game
During the game process, it is possible to see situations that arise in life and typical psychological reactions of the participants. Psychological patterns recognized in play allow you to recognize your strengths and learn lessons that deepen your understanding of how it functions on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. During the game, it is possible to create a new perspective on life issues and situations, clarify old attitudes and beliefs, and change the way you react. Transformative play broadens your horizons and outlook on things.

I grew up in the fifties. In those days, children received education of two types: firstly, school, and secondly, as I say, hunting and gathering. Every day after school we went outside to play with the neighbour's children and usually came back after dark.

"Let Everyone In, Not Let Anyone Out?" About Personal Boundaries
"Let everyone in, not let anyone out?" About personal boundaries. Does this happen to you? A friend (colleague, relative) speaks and speaks without stopping (about himself, his problems or successes) and you no longer know how to get rid of him, annoying.
