Aren’t kids lucky these days?

Technology has wrapped all of us, from cellphones, ipod, computers and more. It is ever advancing. I remember when I was still a kid; plastic baby dolls (which I still keep), breakable clay pots, and paper dolls are my toys that I use to play. Hide and seek, tumbang preso, Chinese garters are some of the games we use enjoy but look at the kids now. They are very lucky to be enjoying playstation and computers as one of their means of playing.

My niece Reign just recently discovered Nick Jr. online, which she enjoyed playing sometimes. It is very child friendly where there are lots of activities that she can choose. Although we allowed her to play the computer we don’t encourage her to stay there for long time, 30 mins. is enough, so she can have the taste of how is it to play in the computer.


Kids are very curious and very adventurous, they want to explore on other things that interest them. She also loves playing with her dolls and she loves drawing very much, you can see her drawing at my older post HERE.

While kids enjoy technology, we should still encourage them to play dolls (of course for girls), hide and seek and many other fun activities. In fact, here in the Phils. kids are encouraged to play the old games we adults use to play before like the patintero, sungka, tumbang preso and many more. Let them get dirty outside!!
