A child who does not play is not a child,
but the man who does not play has lost forever the child who lived in him.

It's Not The Same..........
Nowadays,
play is so serious it's almost like it's another core subject.
It is very different from when I was a
child. Everyone participated
including
the Teachers! Everyone enjoyed getting
out of the classroom
and going out for recess.
It was a punishment to stay inside. Now kids
make up every excuse not to
go outside.
The joy of being a kid
again!
The
role of play throughout my life has been the same concept. Life is not that serious. I often quote that saying, “Work all day
with no play, makes a boring day.” The simple
things in life are the things we overlook or let slip out from under us.

I totally agree. Play is much more serious now. Children are playing the roles of their parents. When I was young it was all about dolls and ring around the Rosie but now a days children don't do that anymore. Most of them like to sit in front of the TV all day and do nothing.
