What is the first thing you think about when you say a game? Perhaps most people will answer the modern game. But if you ask your grandmother or grandfather, he will answer you that they played a ball and a slingshot. Ask your parents and they will tell you rubber, shotgun or bunker busting. But do you know what they had in common with their game?
All these games were played outside. The children had never been at home before. The children’s world took place outside. There was work and boredom at home. Everything was happening outside. The kids loved to play outside. It could have been all played outside. From hiding to climbing trees. The mother was afraid of the children, so something would happen, but they believed in them. We don’t say how many times the kids come home and they get scratched, scratched, torn or dirty pants. If the children went home like this, they were slapped in the ass or reprimanded by their parents. But they knew that the children were having fun. And that was the most important thing for them. They played and learned new things. Parents today are completely different. Not that they do not love children, but they are so caring. Today parents prefer to have their children at home. Not that they want to protect them from dirt. But when they are at home, they know that nothing happens to them. That they are safe at home. And to keep them home, they buy them expensive phones and computers. But is this the right upbringing?
A child is not an animal that we can put in a cage. Children are curious and need to explore the world. Not real, but virtual. If you raise your children in this way, we destroy not only their wonderful childish spirit, but also their interest in everything around them, they cease to perceive reality and begin to focus on the virtual. And some children end up closing in on themselves. They stop communicating with their surroundings. They create their own world and think it’s true. That’s when parents begin to notice. But it’s too late for that. Eventually, they realize that instead of buying expensive computers and phones, they should have let them.
