Games and toys

The game is a basic pillar in childhood; essential for children to grow up happily, learn and develop in an integral way. We must promote play from the time our children are babies, and continue to do so for as long as possible, given its countless benefits.

Does your child line up toys when playing? Do you classify them by colors or shapes? What meaning could all this have?

Play is essential in the development of your child. Through play, your brain can create neural connections that will allow it to acquire cognitive processes that are essential for its growth.

For some parents it is very worrying to see that their child plays alone, since doubts arise in this regard and it is normal to ask ourselves if our child is very independent and autonomous or if this goes further and is a matter of isolation or difficulties to interact.

Solidarity is a very important value in our development as people who belong to a society, and obviously the best way to understand its meaning -especially when we are children- is to put it into practice. This time of year is fantastic for precisely that: the arrival of Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men usually means the arrival of new toys at home, so it is a fantastic opportunity to donate to children in vulnerable situations. If we also involve our children, we are teaching them to relate with empathy, humility and respect.

Self-esteem is defined as the value we make of ourselves, but it goes much further; It also encompasses the way we treat, admire and love each other. It encompasses perceptions, beliefs, thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes.

What does it mean to play? Under the concept of "game" we include a very high number of behaviors that present many differences between them.
