Childhood "Play"

Growing up as a child all the children in the neighborhood played together. It didn't matter what type of game we played, we all played. We all got a long and played well togther. Looking back on my childhood play; I would not have ever thought that the games we played together and the interaction between us, played a vital part in our developmental growth. Parents encouraged children to play together. The role of play was just as important than as it is now; just wasn't acknowledge as it is today.
