Games and puzzles are important because they develop a child’s motor skills and mental capacity. They also cultivate their imagination and promote creative thinking.
Can you imagine going through life without games and puzzles? It would be very boring indeed. Most games and puzzles require multiple players, and which child hasn’t swapped toys or had a discussion with his friends on a game?
Thus, they help a child to develop social skills by interacting with others and help them make that transition into society. A child faces stress in daily life because everything is new to them and a learning experience.
What may seem humdrum to an adult may on the other hand seem like a big challenge to a child. Playing games is a fun way to unwind and relax their mind. A child has boundless energy, and games and puzzles keep a child occupied, giving mummy and daddy a short respite to do the things that they need to do!
A family that plays together stays together. Games and puzzles are like glue that binds a family together, well at least for a short while! They create cherished memories. They are essential to raise a well-rounded child and keep a family happy.
