"Children games can not be separated with childhood which are beautiful and exhilarating."
- Children Philosopher –
When we asked about childhood, we would gladly tell you many enjoyable experiences ever experienced. It's all so beautiful and exhilarating. Why is that? Because childhood is a period play. Most or even all of the kids activities are playing!
But there are many parents who think that playing is wasting time. They prefer to see their children learn sit neatly without fuss, instead of (moving) and sound (noice).
Playing an effective way to learn
In fact, if all parents know and realize that the activities of the motion and the sound of the children is the most effective way for children to learn something. Therefore, play is a fun activity for children.
Through games, children will experience a sense of happiness. With a feeling of joy make nerve / neuron in the brain of children link up each other to form a new memory. That is why the children easily learn something through the game.
The need for play
* Learning by playing
The game should have a value equal to learning. Children can learn through the game (learning by playing). Many things that children learn with games, balanced between motoric skills strongly influence the psychological development of children. As word Reamonn O Donnchadha in his book The Confident Child "The game will give the opportunity to learn to deal with personal life situations as well as learn to solve problems."
* Games to develop the right brain
In addition, of course, children have the opportunity to test his ability to deal with their friend and develop a realistic sense of himself. Playing through the games or give children the opportunity to develop the right brain, which may be less honed skills at school and at home.
* The game developed a pattern of socialization and child emotional
In social play, children learn about the socialization that put himself as a social creature. Children learn the value of personal success when it managed to enter a team. When children play the role of 'good' or 'evil' to make children rich of emotional experiences, the child will understand the feelings of fear and rejection related to the situation that he faced.
With play activities provide the opportunity for children to practice a sense of disbelief to others and ability in negotiating, solving problems (problem solving) or just hang out with people around him.
Type of game
Basically, all kinds of games have the same goal which is to play with fun! The difference is the effect of these types of games. There are two types of games, namely: Active Games and Passive Games. Active and passive game should be done with balance.
* The game sports (sport):
For man, woman, sports no longer be a game but something serious and competitive. But for children, sport can be an exciting game that contains fun, entertainment, and play, but also the participatory element and a desire to excel.
In sports games, children develop kinesthetic capabilities and the development of motivation to show their supremacy (the emphasis is not on competition but on the ability) to give strength to himself and learn to develop themselves every time.
* Brawl game (body contact):
These types of games including modern game, but many parents and teachers looked at Skeptic and worried, it is reasonable because the effects possible serious. This game is a game type that requires modification of the seriousness of the child to meet the needs for power.
It is healthy and positive for children, useful to examine the advantages and strengths in the environment. Type of game is to test the ability and thinking of children in the real world with all its consequences.
Categories passive game
* Mechanical Games
Along with the technology development provides a major influence in the development of games for children. Sophisticated technological tools such as computer no longer belongs to adults, but has become a regular item for the children.
Various games or virtual game has been available in it (computer). Playing computer is not the same as playing with friends, kids play alone with pleasure.
The negative side
The negative side of this mechanical game is the lack of attitude formation of the child to receive and give (take and give). Children have full control over 'playmates' and 'the playmates' will do whatever the child wants. This control will cause a serious reaction in the friendship of children in their social environment.
Positive side
However, the positive things the child has the computer skills that will be required in the future of their life.
* Fantasy games
Fantasy is a game which practice by its own. Children can shape the world as they wish (imagination). We recommend that parents do not force the child to always play with his friends because it would create the impression that play with itself was wrong.
Fantasy game in addition to the developement creative process ability of right brain , also for the formation of interpersonal intelligence (one of the eight intelligences multiple intelligence theory, Howard Garner)...
