There is a return to my house – my three daughter sparks out the days until the school comes out. The camp dreams about those who are late late and full of games. As a mother, I love their excitement and know how important it is for the health and physical development of this time. Here’s the game should not look like a luxury, but it is important.
In UNICEF, health, education and loss protection, are the main rights for each child. But it may surprise how important this equation is. When the studies show that children are time and space to play, they are not just happier – healthier, more healthy, and long-term long-term. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics actually recommends doctors set Recognize the effect of brain development and emotional well-being.
Create a gap for children to have children
The lack of access to safe playgrounds, especially in conflict zones, puts them in disadvantage. To resolve this issue, UNICEF helps physical activity and creates a safe environment dedicated to playing to ensure health and well-being around the world.
Conflicts and disasters are not only contradictory and traumatic, but children often grow from their homes, and they only avoid opportunities to be a child. In case of emergency, UNICEF responds to medicine and humanitarian supplies and works to build a child friendly space. A child-friendly space allows children to be kids in the crisis. Play, helpless creates a sense of normality, and goes a long way to minimize the effects of trauma.
Children are often cut off from school when faced with a crisis. In these cases, the UNICEF will also serve a temporary class or informal learning area in a child-friendly space. For many children who are never going to school, these child-friendly spaces continue to offer basic education to learn these children.
Play is not a privilege, the child is the right
When children are engaged in the game, they test with inventions, increase your creativity, increase their language and critical thinking skills and are friendship. These skills are very important for being older and the classes learned from the game are translated into workforce.
Benefits that mowed from Play, created a day created by the United Nations one day last year. On June 11, he dedicated to the international game day, the power of the game and the role of the child’s development. Along with acknowledging the importance of Playin, UNICEF and other organizations allow us to study services, preschools and other stakeholders, preschool and three with three to six years old, and ensure that every child enters the safe, comprehensive and well-protected playgrounds.
The thing that starts on the playground is also shaping the future
Play is just fun – how children will build skills in junction. Through the game, children learn to solve problems, cooperation, thinking and not only in school, but also in school, but also like the workforce of the workforce tomorrow.
Therefore, the game does not lose its game as bigger. My team is in great responsibility, but I saw the place to prepare a place for the game – joining our ability to join different thinking and leading stability. Play in the workplace is not trivial – this is the foundation.
Thus, as soon as the summer begins and our children occur in the long-term matches, it will be good to remember: the thing that started on the playground does not stay there. This forms a kind of how we grow, how we work and build.
Therefore, UNICEF works in the world to protect the right to play every child, because the game is not the privilege. It is important for healthy development, learning and healing.
