Play is more than entertainment; it is the first language of childhood. Through play, children explore the world, learn social rules like cooperation and sharing, and release pent-up energy and emotions.
Modern psychology even recognizes play as a powerful therapeutic tool that helps children deal with stress, anxiety, and even trauma.
Every minute of free play is not wasted time but an investment in balanced mental health. Just as food nourishes the body, play nourishes the mind and soul.
