Play is no less necessary to children than study.
Children reveal an instinct for freedom in everything they do, but especially when they play. Everyone knows how much they love to play and how completely engrossed they become in games. playing is what childhood is all about, and children give themselves up to it whole- heartedly. By forbidding games and suppressing the free expression of the child's natural functions.(and of his or her potential abilities and skills),
	parents risk interfering with the process of self-realization, and opposing the play of nature itself, parents concerned about their child's progress at school, or seeking to develop special talent, may succeed in excluding play from his or her life, Would such a "far-sighted" policy lead to the formation of the child's personality and self-fulfilment? The few known exceptions,
such as Mozart, whose father lockes him in his room as a child and made him study music for hours on end, merely confirm the general rule. It will never be known how many people have been irremediably damaged through being through being thus prevented from giving expression to the free play of nature during their childhood.
