If before I joined the Call Center craze and tried to be one of those that goes to the beautiful offices of BPO's, receives one call after another helping out clients and answering their querries and earn greater than most employees in normal offices...my little one did so too. At home. She pretends to be one as she doodles with the computer. She earn with play money and talks with pretend customers. Advantage? She learned navigation of computer, practiced on her english communication skill, and had fun time with mom. Just make sure your kid do not stay too long in front of your PC though and make her wear your UV protect PC eyeglasses to make sure she is not harming her eyes.
It's not always you guiding them,
reprimanding them, teaching them, or caring for them. They also need you to simply PLAY WITH THEM.
The time you give them making them enjoy you is as vital as those other times you are with them. They feel loved and cherished when you do things they love doing. And there's no greater love for them than playing. A few minutes each day is good enough bonding time, what more of an hour or two...or even a day. After all, they are the most important blessing given you!!!
The most famous toy to kids right now is the very popular Play-Doh. And this did not pass the ever curious eye of my little one. She love baking and cooking, but I can't let her for fear of her getting burned or something. But she's not much into pretend cooking as we used to do when we were kids because as I found out, the common "Lutu-lutuan" is not as simple nowadays. If before we have the plastic pots and pans, the little plates and utensils...now it has to be bigger. More matching their size. And it has to be with the kitchen equipment like oven or even the whole kitchen area.
I love them myself. Just as I love this Play-Doh that makes you believe it's the real thing. Therefore, it is within my Anya's wish list during the holidays. And more often than not, what she wishes for was granted by her love ones. And so she got her IceCream Maker Play-Doh. She loves playing them...but still, not alone. She needs someone to buy ice cream from her , and that would be me.
It’s amazing how my kiddo loves to play this “mansion” she asks her caregiver to play with her every single day since she got hold of this set of collectors item princesses my aunt gave her. It’s just a simple play-house, a big one at that, and that’s the reason she calls it mansion, using small books and boxes as walls and couches.
At times like this, I try to observe unnoticed and enjoy the simplicity of a kids’ life and of what makes them ultra happy. Imagine, everyday?! In fact, sometimes twice a day even, and it takes up almost half of her day playing it.
How nice it is to be a kid once again, right? I miss such uncomplicated daily living.
