When I was a child, we used to learn things by repeating them over and over until they were fixed in our heads. Today, schooling is much more about playing. This is because, at last, the importance of play has finally been recognized.
Whether we are children or adults, when we play we are relaxed and receptive. Studies have shown that providing a happy, fun environment is of utmost importance in every area of development. By playing, children naturally learn social skills, the ability to cope, sportsmanship and cognition. Furthermore, their brains are also much more able to absorb formal information, such as letters, words and math processes.
Play is essential to the development of children, and it is also a wonderful tool for the development of adults. Have fun and benefit from it!

When are the American people going to realize both parties are playing us against each other for their own agenda? The tactics are endless. Two of them would be playing on our fear of security and the other by putting us in a position to defend our chosen parties ideas. Why are they unable to reach...

You probably saw that crazy Mormon mother pouring hot sauce into her own adopted son's mouth for lying about getting in trouble at school on TV or on the Internet. He also has to take a cold shower for pulling three behavior cards. I don't have children, but this is too extreme!I noticed that this...
