The pressure of getting children accepted into top private schools, onto elite sports teams, and giving them a leg up among their peers has become a widespread phenomenon and shows no sign of slowing down. And according to research conducted by top American universities, parents are stressing their kids out!
With all of these scheduled activities, what has happened to the wonder of good old fashioned playtime? 'Unstructured' playtime is paramount in giving children the opportunity to use their imaginations, learn and make decisions for themselves. With too many activities being set up, children lose the opportunity to develop their own creativity, interact with other children and the enjoyment of simply being a kid. Children should be able to enjoy the excitement of their youth through the wonder of play.
One great way to encourage playtime is with backyard playground sets such as the Manfred Mantis personalized playground module. Kids will enjoy hours of uninhibited play time that allows them to express themselves freely and creatively, bound only by as far as their imaginations will take them. Not to mention giving them great exercise.
