My parents and family experiment with play by letting me go outside do activities like kickball, jump rope hop scotch, and skating. Skating was my life and my mother brought me my first pair of skates. They were white skates with red wheels. I was so excited. This helps me with my physical and cognitive skills. My play was explored more outdoors with nature and play with my childhood or classmates at school.

I feel like that play is different from the time I use to play because technology has taken over. Children have computer, Ipads, video games, cell phones, so they don’t ha I do not see the children outside playing until the street light come on. When we play as kids we play hard that we did not have a choice but to take a bath because we were sweaty and you play hard all day.

My play as a child was a wonderful experience. I was able to experiment with nature of making playing with dirt making mud pies, and I would skate all day in the street down hills with no knee pads or helmet back than because we did not need them. I love to skate but I will skate after my homework was done and chores were finish and I would skate until the street light came on. Play has helped to understand a child’s development by using their cognitive, language, social/emotional development.
