Hide-and-Seek

As a child, playing hide-and-seek fascinated me greatly. The challenge of getting into the perfect hiding place was exciting and scary at the same time.  It was a play I look forward to every time I'm with ny friends. It's just so sad that children of today prefers to play gadgets, like computers, and celphones,

Whenever our kids get together with their friends, John and I reminds the kids to play hide-and-seek instead of their high-tech toys because this play has proven to be a necessary contributor to child development, such as, it builds stamina and aids muscle development, helps improve balance, agility, and coordination, teach children problem-solving skills, volume and the concept of size and spaces, allows for practicing turn-taking skills as well as learning how to work as part of a team.

The next time you have a party, encourage your children to indulge in hide-and-seek.
