I really don't get the fascination with all these computer games and stuff that kids are doing nowadays. What ever happened to letting a child use thier imagination. I see so many parents sticking their children in front of tv or computer games to keep them occupied and then they
turn to me and ask how my children are so good at using their immaginations to think up games and play without anything except their minds.
Don't get me wrong my kids have the computer games and the Bratz dolls and the latest cars stuff but they also have a cupboard full of crafty things and they love being outside. We go to the beach and fishing. There are so many things that you can do with your children that helps improve their immagination. My daughters write stories and they teach there 18 month old brother to colour .
My eldest has written a poem that is really beautiful. It was entered into an international poetry competition and this is because she has an immagination and uses it. I think all children should be encouraged to read and write and draw and create it is one of the most magical things in the world to read something your child has taken time to create.
My kids still enjoy all the latest gadgets just not enough to destroy thier beautiful immaginations so please take more time with your children seeing what is in their immaginations can really tell you alot about them.
