Fortunately, there are still many parents, grandparents and family members in general, who value in their fair measure what the game means for the smallest of the house.
We are talking about natural recreation, without burning stages, which infants need at every moment of their early years.
When I reflect, I do not forget that the children's parties of my time, and of some later years, had among others of their charms, the game of hide and seek, the "stick", the balls or marbles, the spinning top, the billiard, the march, the Blind chicken, the Yaquis, the little house, which, unfortunately, have been disappearing little by little, perhaps due to accelerated scientific-technical development.
And believe it or not, in the last few decades I have seen several little ones, barely two years old, enjoy the benefits of a cell phone or a tablet, as we did many of my time with a Vef radio or a Tesla turntable.
As I wrote at the beginning, there are still parents and other relatives who prefer to enjoy their descendants having fun with a gift from the so-called “year of the bomb”.
Perhaps, because it is an almost obsolete toy, unknown to the vast majority of the most innocent of today, the granddaughter Daniela, at first, continued to prefer the cell phone of her "bee", than the precious crib of barely two feet high. long by thirty-five wide and forty high, the one he received as a gift for his third year of life.
For the grandmother, the first moments were disappointing: so many races and dialogues, wood, nails, carpenter, seamstress, thread, craftswoman, until, at last, everything was ready for the long-awaited gift.
At first "Dany" was half unmoved, as if doubtful, but little by little she approached, losing her fear of the "artifact", until she adjusted the pillows to her wrist and covered her with the little blanket, then she continued with her adored junk, but with curiosity he gave his little turns to the new gift.
This story could be much longer, however the message is very brief: Fantasy in girls and boys is essential for psychological, emotional and cognitive development. So, please, for a more harmonious development of infants, let's take up the games of the so-called “year of the bomb”.
