Kid at play

 Kids need space n time to play to activate their imagination n creativity.too much tuition causes stress and puts too much pressure on kids and it affects mental n emotional health.i remember running wild with neighbours kids playing jump rope,tig tag toe,spinning tops and catching spiders to put in matchboxes.we cteate games like policemen catching thief,flew paper airplanes or used our slippers as bowling balls to hit a pack of coveted playcards.

Now kids are not allowed to play outdoors for fear of safety.sad childhood as my cousins in the rural areas taught us to fetch water from a well,use a long pole to bring down rambutans or catch tadpoles so we see them metamorphize to frogs or giant grasshoppers that we tied to a string to fly like aeroplane.

I baked bread,cakes n muffins every weekend and share some with my neighbours kid who is 7 going on 8 years old.hes a cute kid,full of energy and lively.last week i baked portugese egg tarts to give him.in return he threw this thank you note over my fence which i found while sweeping the porch.i prefer to play with kids as they are simple and innocent without the pretentious ways of adults.his note really was so touching so i told my neighbour that i will give my scooter n helmet to him since im into zumba these days.hope the kid learns it and not e scooter which doesnt exercise the legs at all.
