Play games with your child, we say this is very important especially in early childhood, right? So how will we play? This subject is important. That's why I'm listing it item by item below
.
First of all, I should point out that the game does not aim to be educational. Of course, the most basic goal of games is to help children acquire certain skills, but "to gain them by having fun". If we pursue a purely educational purpose in the game and insist that our child should learn almost every skill, and if we constantly give commands and instructions instead of having fun in the game, after a while the child will not want to meet with us on common ground because he does not have fun.
.
Let's say you prepared a game. Let this be a material you see on Instagram. However, your child did not show interest in the game you prepared with enthusiasm. Then don't insist on playing this game. Leave it to time. Reappear after a while. Do not try to bring the child into your world. Get involved in his world and play with the toys he chooses.
.
There is something I have observed in social play. That is to guide the child even in this game. For example, you have a daughter named Ayşe and you play housekeeping with Ayşe. Ayşe took the spoon and said, "I will make soup." You also took out the fruit set and started cutting the fruits, and said to Ayşe, "Come on, cut the fruit too." But Ayşe wants to make soup. There is no point in saying "NO Ayşe, put down that spoon, we will cut fruit now". If he wants to make soup, add some fruit and vegetables immediately. "Oh okay, I cut broccoli too. Should we have soup with broccoli?" For example, say...
.
Do not direct the child in the game, leave him FREE. We already provide enough housing in daily life. We are responsible for the organization of their lives. Breakfast time, school time, park time, meal time are planned and we inform the child about these (of course, this must happen). Therefore, there is no harm in feeling free in the game. It even provides emotional relief as it expresses its feelings through the game.
.
Do not constantly ask during the game. Don't make sentences like "Let's count how many balls there are. What color is this? Come on, tell me, I'm feeling sad." Don't forget that the main purpose of the game is to have fun, provide relaxation and spend quality time. In the game you say "Yes, the red apple" You can make qualifications such as "you took one, two or three balls into the basket, you showed the round clock" and teach these to your child at the opportunity. There is no rule that you will always get feedback and teach him the color or number you want..
.
While playing the game, give yourself completely to the game. Leave the television off, do not have a phone or tablet in your hand. Face the child. Keep a close distance. Use your little ones in the game. Give exaggerated reactions. Be surprised, be happy, laugh, have fun.
.
When preparing the play environment, do not pile everything in front of the child. Categorize the toys and do not allow the play environment to distract the child's attention. You can remove the toys you categorize one by one.
