LETTER TO PARENT


Dear parent, I want to give information about value of play in this letter. First I am going to

define play. Play is an essential part of children’s daily life and promotes all-round

development (Hobart & Frankel, 2001, p. 211). Play is the children’s work. As watching

children who play, you can understand their feelings, problems or happiness. Play has

multifunction. It provides lots of chances for children. Play allows children to be creative and

imaginative. Children like to play with clay, mud or sand, which can be most appropriately

used to improve children’s imagination and creativity. Moreover, play lets children play

alongside or co-operatively with other children. Children learn easiness of group working in

play and enjoyment of doing a toy lonely in play. While children are playing, many

developments occur such as language, cognitive, social, literacy, fine and gross motor, and

emotional. Children like to speak or play necessitates speaking, while playing. I want to give

example about important of play related to language development. During play, children ask

some questions to meet their desires such as ‘I want to do that or I do not want to do that’ and

communications take place in play. As a result of this, language development improves.

Playing with constructive materials helps to enhance cognitive development. While children

are playing, they learn about literacy easily and fast because play can convert boring jobs into

enjoyable tasks. In addition important of play in all development areas, play has major role in

motor development. While you do exercises such as; play football, go for a walk or go

swimming, your some skills improve and you can get any opportunity to practice these skills

in play. Similar to yours, while playing, children improve their skills, gain new skills or

practice their skills. For instance, cutting paper for some purpose, putting small tools into

small space or completing puzzle piece are supplies to advance fine motor skills. Kicking a

ball, handing a toy, running from one area to another are examples of gross motor skills.

These skills are improved through play.

If you want to understand the world around you, either you should take place in the world

or if you do not do that, you should create yourselves a new world. This world has no rules,

no jobs apart from yours. You can do everything. Children have a world like that when they

want. When children need to found this world, they use play. When they need to enter this

world, they use play. Children can build new worlds, they can put rules and they can reflect

negative or positive feelings in these worlds through play.

Children usually have full of new ideas as a theorist. For instance, if you give a baby a toy,

he/she leaves it and then it drops. Children can do theory now. If he or she leaves something,

it drops. Similar to that, children will do lots of exercises to find or discover new things.

While children are playing, they explore new skills or investigate different theories for

themselves. They can determine new solutions to new problems while paying attention the

world around them.

The developing concept of what‘s right and what’s wrong and the increasing ability to see

another person’s viewpoint leads preschoolers to prosocial behaviors based on feelings of

empathy ( Schaefer & Digeronimo, 2000, p. 158). Through play, children can learn empathy

ability at proper age. During play, if there is no enough materials to engage, children use

materials and then give them to other friends because they know or learn that there is not

enough toys to play each other so they have to share them. As a result of this, they can put

their viewpoint to another person and they improve sense of sharing.

Sometimes children play inside sometimes outside. Although inside play is safety and

security, when taken precautions and with good observing, outside play is great for young

children to exercise, build self confidence and throw surplus energy. Fresh air and exercise

add to good health. Very young children, who are not used to playing outside, and live in a

flat, may find the garden too large and frightening at first, but when their self confidence has

developed they will soon enjoy being outside (Hobart & Frankel, 2001, p. 231).
Play prepares children to future. Life has lots of risks and if you can not take any risk, you

can not have experience about life. Like that, play involves some risks and some children

venture them, others not. Play gives opportunity to encounter risks and encourages children to

tackle these risks. Step by step, children learn to take risks and have experiences about risks

of life.

Play provides management of stress for children (Johnson, Christie & Yawkey, 1999, p.

52). When you want to get rid of stress, you talk close friends or go for a walk. Like that,

when children need to escape their bad feelings or stress, they speak by themselves, in other

word; they play by themselves because children may not express their feelings. You can

understand from window of play.

To sum up, you should think that play has positive effects in short time and over a long time

on children’s progress and play encourages all of the development areas. Finally, there are

three ways to consider the relation of play with development. First, play simply reflects

development. Second, play reinforces development. Third, play can result in development

(Johnson, Christie & Yawkey, 1999, p. 26)
