Role of play: Play movie

Nature is a free playground for children to explore and experiment with their limitations. This movie demonstrated how the lack of nature is effecting children from all different background and living environments. I really liked the box activity taking a kids who grew up in a suburb and urban town and asked them to create a city. It was very cool to see how kids can do the same activity but approach it entirely differently, and where kids were brought up effect this activity. I know that technology has impacted our daily lives, but never know how much kids were being exposed, and how negative it is for their cognitive development. Violence is in so many movies, shows and video games, that there is no surprise that kids tend to be more violent when they are involved in these things, because kids learn primarily through imitation. This video stresses how kids need to be outside, away from technology and learn through exploration, and I thought it did a good job of showing it.
