Freedom to play

Perhaps it is only my observation but we live in a culture where everyone wants to be in control. In a way we are becoming control freaks. Unfortunately, our attempts to control our environment, children, even significant others creates struggles in our day to day activities. When we are busy trying to control every aspect of our lives, we forget about being playful and silly.
If you ever have an opportunity to watch children, you will see that they learn about the world through play. Fredrick Froebel, the creator of kindergarten, emphasized that play is very much a spiritual activity; it is the self-active representation of our spiritual nature. Play gives children space to find and define themselves, to explore and use their imagination and creativity in the physical body.
Do you give yourself and you child a space to be playful? Today, create time and space for yourself and your child, forget about the responsibilities, work, bills, dinner and allow your inner child to come out. BE playful, BE present and have fun.
