Messy Play is important for kids
Do you get worried when your Kids make a mess?
Do you frown when they stain clothes while playing?
Let me tell you, You need not.
Once you become a Parent, you need to overlook the mess. Tiny feet trotting from one room to another, searching for naughtiness, makes us more patient.
Its so obvious why work never ends for Mothers. My little one never miss a chance to keep me on my toes. But I love it when he enjoys the mess. I love to see the shine in his eyes.
I remember my childhood, how other Mothers were too wary about their tidy living rooms while my Mother never restricted us to play in every corner of the house. She never restricted our Play area.
It is these things we tend to remember not the tidy corners. Now, its my turn:
- I do not restrict him to 1 room or corner. I do not mind him tumbling down his toys basket in the living room. Sometimes, changing the playing space is all that he need.
- I do not rush to pack his toys right after he moves out of the room. Its only when we are going out or before sleep.
- I do not pack him in super cute dress at Home and allow him to smear his clothes with food or dirt.
- I allow him to play with water- Kids love it. I never mind the effort it requires to clean it up.
- My little one hate wearing Bibs- he love to spill .Earlier, I tried hard to use them but then I quit and always carry a pair of extra clothing. Its better to see him smile rather than make a fuss.
I only agree with you up to a point. I think it is also necessary, for the development of a child into a responsible adult, that they learn to respect the rights of others.
I can be very intolerant of parents who let their children run wild in restaurants or stores or at artistic performances and thus infringe upon the rights of others to quiet enjoyment of what they are paying for.
@onceuponatime i totally agree with ur view , therefore we shud raise kids responsibly and caring too we shud actually balance both of it
thanks for the upvote :)
Dayna Martin makes this point about allowing children to have their needs fulfilled, and directing them into the appropriate environment. For example, if she sees kids about to throw paint around in the house, she says it's great to throw paint around, but we have to do it in the right place - let's go out into the yard.
Personally, I think a little chaos is healthy for all of us, and helps us be creative.
as i said we need to balance both of being responsible and caring for better development of a child
So true, I loved my kids messes and I miss them now!
Thank you, it was interesting!
