Mommy Moments: Playing Time!

mommy moments
My kids went to school at three and a half. Though their pre-school integrated study with play, I am still worried that they might suffer study-burnout in the future. So I let them play as often as they want. Though they don't play the games Fred and I used to play before, like tumbang preso, football street-style, luksong-tinik, I still make it a point that I bring them outside to interact with cousins, neighbors and other kids. I want them to be not just academically smart but street-smart, too! :)
Whether outdoor (outside our house, park playgrounds, beaches or even party venues)...

indoor (mall activity centers, amusement parks, in our house)...

Alone or with friends and relatives...
My kids just love to play, just like most kids do!

Alam mo ang bait tingnan ng mga kids mo. Mukhang magkasundo sila. Mine are like cats and dogs sometimes.

Happy MM, Mommy Beth! :-)

I love your idea, Beth - not just academically smart but street-smart too. Our kids need that specially in today's world. Happy mommy moments!

It's good to balance study and playtime for our children. It makes them well-rounded.

teaching them how to be both academically smart and street-smart, i guess that is just the perfect packaging for today's kids. ",)

Korek, Beth! let them play and play now cause when they grow up it'll be serious work.. Happy weekend!

Enchie July 17, 2009 7:12 PM  

you're right Beth! Anywhere is play time as long as they're enjoying, having the time of their life and learning too.

Jacris July 17, 2009 7:24 PM  

Playing time is also a stress reliever for kids kaya you are right mommy Beth that we should let our kids play as often as they want.I Like your points of view that's why your kids are so blessed to have you.

Have a great weekend:))

i love to see children enjoying their playtime..
happy mommmy moment!!

Raft3r July 18, 2009 12:31 AM  

yeah
ibang-iba na mga kids ngayon
dati puro tayo larong kalye
ngayon internet lang ang katapat nila
i still think mas ok yun dating panahon
mga bata ngayon ang attention span sobrang ikli
kata dapata talaga tutok ang mga magulang, gaya nyo ni papa fred
=)

Yes, being street-smart is important. It's very good that you're training them to be that way.

Have a blessed weekend, Beth. God bless!

Nice pictures Mommy Beth ; ) Children now start school very early and I think they are missing out some things in their childhood, especially playing. Good thing your kids have a balance of both study and play.
