Playing at the park and spending less time on gadgets:

Playing at Park

This Friday there was this story telling session at the school. The teacher was telling us all a story about a boy who used to spend most of his time playing video games. He was a lazy, fat boy who never wanted to play any other games outside at the park. He was addicted to playing video games.

After the story was finished, the teacher told us all, that we should not restrict ourselves to playing only video games. Addiction to video games makes us lazy. It damages our eyesight. It makes us interact very less with our friends, family and the people around us.Playing video games all day and not doing enough physical exercise makes us put on a lot of weight and makes us fat. The teacher also said that if we play video games excessively and get addicted to video gaming, it might harm our brain and reduce the level of brain development. I was very scared to know that.

We should go outside whenever possible and play with other children. As we are very small and we may not play any particular games, we should at least be running around with our friends. Playing outside is a way of exercising, which helps us in our overall physical development.

I was very excited to learn this as I am always very eager to grow very strong. The teacher also told us that playing outside increases our muscle strength and also helps us gain a lot of self-confidence. It improves our vision, physical well-being and our overall health. Everyone at my class was happy to know this. We all love playing outside with friends.

I told my teacher that my Mumma and Dada take me to park at the afternoon almost every day when the weather is good. I enjoy playing outside a lot.I enjoy it more when both Mumma and Dada play with me. There are even times when I play with my friends and the parents talk to each other. I like the fresh air outside. My teacher was happy to know this from me and she encouraged me to play more outdoors and at the park.

When I came back home from school, I told Mumma about the story that our teacher told us at the school. I also told her about what the teacher told us about the reduced level of brain development. Mumma told me that this is why both by Mumma and Dada do not let me play too much with the phone or the tab. I asked Mumma, why she always thinks well about me. She told me that because I am her daughter and she loves me the most in this world, she cares for me the most. So, she does everything which is good for me. She does things which would help me in the long run when I grow up. I hugged Mumma and told her that I also love her the most.



Reading habit:

Last weekend, my aunt came to visit us. Mumma and Dada were very excited to have her with us. Mumma told me that she was a friend of both of them and she was visiting us for the first time after I was born. I too was happy and was eager to meet her. When she reached our house, she was very happy to see both Mumma and Dada. Then she came to me and hugged me tight and told me that she was so happy to see me too.

She brought many gifts for me. There were toys, dresses and a lots of story books. I loved all of them. The books were very colourful and full of lovely pictures. I told her that I love picture stories. She toldme that reading books is a very good habit. We get to know a lot of new things when we read books. I told her that I can’t read all the words, but I like to listen to stories. My Aunt told me that as I was small I would not be able to read the whole story book. First Mumma and Dada will read out the stories to me before bedtime or when we have some spare time. Then slowly with time, when I grow up I will be able to read the entire story book.

Books are fun. They take us to awhole new world. We get to learn a lot of new things; about people, food, culture and many more. We get to see new perspectives.Reading books enhances our imagination power. We get a lot of knowledge by reading books. Books also help in concentrating and improving our focus. My Aunt also told me that books are the best companions when one is alone.

Post lunch, she read out a story to me – Alice in Wonderland. This is the story of a little girl who dreams of falling down a rabbit hole and getting to explore wonderland. While listening to the story, I also started wondering, how it must have felt when Alice was exploring new places all alone. My aunt told me; when I grow up, I would also go places alone. Exploring new places, meeting new people, new food. Knowing about weather, culture and perspective.Travelling alone is fun.

Now that I am small, I go out to different places with Mumma and Dada. Mumma and Dada both love travelling. They always take me along wherever they go. They guide me through everywhere. Last month we went on a “Giant Causeway Road Trip”. It was very much fun.

My Aunt showed me all the other story books she brought for me. They were all very beautiful, full of colourful pictures and conversations. I thanked her for bringing me so many story books. My Mumma came to us and told me that she would read stories to me every day. I was very excited and happy. I thanked Mumma aswell and hugged her tight.
