Most times, children look quite exhauster and are ready for a nap when they returning from playing .  This is the most accurate description, and also quite the truth, as playing is hard work.  It’s exhausting to the mind and body of the child, and it plays an important role in helping them to become productive and healthy.

There are several benefits to playing and exercising for a young child .  Exercise of the body is a very important part of keeping the young body fit as it grows into an adult body.  Once we reach adulthood, if we’ve had the benefit of exercise and play, we all tend to stay on that habit well into our adult years.

Play is also good in the form of participating inorganized sports, coordinated play times, and being a member of a large group during all of these types of activities.  Playing on this level will teach us how to interact with peers and perform as a  team with our fellow players.  These skills are quite essential in today’s business world . 

What we learn in body language, coping skills, and the interaction of the mind and body during our interaction with others is invaluable.  When we learn this skills to the fullest, not only will we learn how to get along with others, but we will also learn how to interact better with ourselves.

You can really maintain the best sense of health and wellness simply by interacting with ourselves .  There will always be times when our bodies are trying to tell us things about our physical or mental condition, which we will simply refuse to listen to.

Through exercise and play, we will also learn what our limitations are – both physical and mental .  At times of play, you’ll see children and young adults push themselves to their limit and beyond.  As children, we are all more able to distinguish between a real limit versus what society itself calls our limits.
The pressures of the world don’t affect children as much as they do for adults .  Children have a much better state of mind and peace, unlike adults that have let the outside influence the body and mind, which will do little more than becoming a dominant factor of time.

As you can tell, the benefits that are gained from exercise and play time as children, will benefit us for the rest of our lives .  As adults, we all too often forget how important both exercise, like running workouts and play are. 

Normally, we want to rush children into their daily responsibilities, forgetting that at their age they need play and interaction for their young minds.
