RE: The Importance of Play: Neotony, Neuroplasticity and Joy
Wow an amazing post! So true working as an occupational therapist this resonate so true and is the source of my work. Lots would not agree but its my job to change that. Unfortunately in todays society we stop kids playing and get the into the adult life as soon as possibly which cause the problems in todays society. A lot to be said about the way we treat our kids and its not good!
I love having fires, drumming, playing my didgeridoo simply anything thats fun letting out the inner child as often as possible 💯🐒
I agree. Plus screen time!! I was fascinated by fact problem solvers had a history of doing things with their hands. Yet how much hand stuff is going on holding screens? What if kids grow up and can't solve problems? ... more control of masses, more mental health issues... another angle of looking at it that I haven't thought of before I started looking into play.

This is so true and worrying a the same time. Working in mental health every day I see the effect of lack of childhood, people who have missed out on that important aspect of play. Not having my own kids, my ex had kids thoughI takes this ethos into bringing up kids when I do. Time off the computer and about in nature playing is so important. Likewise with my patients I try and get the element of fun in too but reading this I think I need to devise away to do it better. Definitely something to think about and develop for me! 💯🐒
I think we need to be mindful about our life choices all the time and agree.for sure we need to consciously make time for play. Like now.. putting Steemit down and going for a surf!!
