Protecting childhood
Time is tight. But you can make one block of uninterrupted time for
your children. Have a no T.V day. Instead have a children’s evening.
Teach your child a game from your childhood. A card game, ball or
skipping game, share some old jokes and stories.
79% of mothers in an international Unilever survey agree that people
in their country have forgotten the importance of learning by playing.
Our children’s lives are becoming more and more sedentary as they are
filled with school activities, television and video games. Most of us
agree that today, childhood needs to be protected and as parents we feel
it is our duty.
Childhood is for playing and learning about life and relationships.
Make some time to let your child experience childhood and relive yours.
