My Message For Parents To Understand The World Of Children
They panic when they play too much. But I violate, it's time for children to play. But I once explained about the concept of playing in learning. Okay, I'll explain again. Okay, first this is the result of research, so it's not a belief. I see the results of research, not belief.
Humans use their childhood to play. But not only humans, animals also play.
If we ask evolutionarily why we spend so much time playing. That must be the answer, one has benefits. Because natural selection in evolution, it will not choose that and we can survive if it is useless. So logically playing must have benefits.
Well, besides that, there are also many studies, it turns out that when we play we learn. So, parents don't need to worry. When we were little, we played to learn. Actually, if we look at it, we were preparing. Maybe the basic question when children were in PAUD. What is our goal?
Our goal is to prepare them to enter university. Yes, that is the middle goal. But the ultimate goal is to prepare our children to be able to face life. So wherever, what must a person have to face life. I think number one is we must be able to adapt, life is constantly changing, we must be able to adapt. And number two, we must be smart in solving problems.
The connection with the children playing earlier is. Well, when these children play, first of all, when they play because no one tells them to, they must be able to think for themselves. And in playing there are so many problems that they solve. Maybe people are surprised what problems are there when they play?
Oh, there are many, so pay attention when children play. Well, a researcher immediately noticed.
"In the past, I liked playing marbles. Marbles have a lot of physics, right? Marbles have to be thought about first. For example, there are marbles, here is the ball this big, how much should you flick it, how much force should you use so that it can actually reach there".
Well, playing marbles has physics, it has to be thought about. If you flick it too hard, or even not too hard, it will jump too much. Well, there is a lot of physics. And it is also very important in this life that we must be able to collaborate, we must be able to see other people's thoughts. Well, when playing, there are many things that must be negotiated.
"There's only one swing, let's take a turn? There's only one car, let's swap, right?"
Well, there are so many things that have to be done. Maybe one tip that I can give to parents who are worried. I really understand their worries. For example, when we play, the child asks questions. For example, we play puzzles, then if we say to the child,
"Look at what corner?"
Maybe the child says,
"What is a corner?"
Because he is still small, he doesn't understand. Then we explain. Well, that's it, son. That will increase knowledge.
Greetings always compact.
