Parenting trends like overprotectiveness result in children being dependent and having difficulty coping with frustration. Experts also recognize that children are playing less and using digital devices at an earlier age.

Children are playing too little, which has consequences for their development. Play is learning and crucial for later academic success. ... Children learn to take responsibility in kindergarten The city of Zug has responded by implementing the "Play Plus" program, developed by the Zurich University of Teacher Education, in all its kindergartens. Presenter Kathrin Hönegger learns about a play project at the Letzi Kindergarten. The children have decided together to build a spring village, because play promotes self-determination, intrinsic motivation, and enjoyment. The children are encouraged to develop initiative, experiment, and build the village as they like. Taking on responsibility also strengthens their self-confidence. The kindergarten offers few toys in the traditional sense, but rather a variety of versatile building materials to bring ideas to life. Sensory play is also offered, as many children lack these opportunities in their daily lives. “Many parents no longer trust their children” But why do some children lag behind in their play development? Generational researcher Rüdiger Maas sees parental overprotection as a key factor: “Many parents no longer trust their children, taking on too much in their daily lives, which deprives the children of important experiences.” But many children are so tightly scheduled with leisure activities that little time remains for play. Another factor: Children today come into contact with digital media very early on. Social media, Google, and Netflix are commonplace for them and, of course, a welcome distraction. This isn't conducive to play, because the best ideas arise precisely from boredom, free time, and leisure. Kindergarten Teachers Become Play Experts Therefore, kindergarten teachers are now being trained as play experts. They are to reintroduce children to play, awaken their curiosity and initiative. Studies show that children between the ages of 4 and 8 learn best through play. 👀 Watch Now: 00:00 Intro 01:21 Kindergarten Play Project 04:22 Play Behavior of Kindergarten Children 06:15 What Should School Look Like for Generation Alpha? 11:43 What Are the Characteristics of a Game? 14:24 The Alpha Generation 19:27 Parents on "Learning and Playing" 22:42 Overprotective Parenting 24:02 Kindergarten Play Project 25:00 Dealing with Digital Media 30:24 Playing and Learning 31:39 What Do Parents Say About Parenting? 35:33 Conclusion ________________________ ◾ Director: Andrea Fischli-Roth ◾ Editors: Martina Mieth, Sandra Odermatt ◾ Host: Kathrin Hönegger © 2024 SRF ________________________ This is Einstein: We tell stories that inform, educate, and entertain.
