THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILDREN'S PLAY
Brick by brick, six-year-old Alice is building a magical kingdom. Imagining fairy-tale turrets and fire-breathing dragons, wicked witches and gallant heroes, she's creating an enchanting world. Although she isn't aware of it, this fantasy is helping her take her first steps towards her capacity for creativity and so it will have important repercussions in her adult life.
wicked (adj): độc ác;
gallant (adj): dũng cảm
enchanting (adj): mê hoặc;
repercussion (n): kết quả
Minutes later, Alice has abandoned the kingdom in favour of playing schools with her younger brother. When she bosses him around as his 'teacher', she's practising how to regulate her emotions through pretence. Later on, when they tire of this and settle down with a board game, she's learning about the need to follow rules and take turns with a partner.
abandon (v): bỏ rơi
regulate (v): điều chỉnh
'Play in all its rich variety is one of the highest achievements of the human species,' says Dr David Whitebread from the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, UK. 'It underpins how we develop as intellectual, problem-solving adults and is
crucial to our success as a highly adaptable species.'
achievement (n): thành quả
intellectual (n): người trí thức
Recognising the importance of play is not new: over two millennia ago, the Greek philosopher Plato extolled its virtues as a means of developing skills for adult life, and ideas about play-based learning have been developing since the 19th century.
But we live in changing times, and Whitebread is mindful of a worldwide decline in play, pointing out that over half the people in the world now live in cities. 'The opportunities for free play, which I experienced almost every day of my childhood, are becoming increasingly scarce,' he says. Outdoor play is curtailed by perceptions of risk to do with traffic, as well as parents' increased wish to protect their children from being the victims of crime, and by the emphasis on 'earlier is better' which is leading to greater competition in academic learning and schools.
International bodies like the United Nations and the European Union have begun to develop policies concerned with children's right to play, and to consider implications for leisure facilities and educational programmes. But what they often lack is the evidence to base policies on.
mindful (adj): quan tâm
scarce (adj): ít
perception (n): quan điểm
implication (n): ngụ ý
'The type of play we are interested in is child-initiated, spontaneous and unpredictable - but, as soon as you ask a five-year-old "to play", then you as the researcher have intervened,' explains Dr Sara Baker. 'And we want to know what the long-term impact of play is. It's a real challenge.' Dr Jenny Gibson agrees, pointing out that although some of the steps in the puzzle of how and why play is important have been looked at, there is very little data on the impact it has on the child's later life.
Now, thanks to the university's new Centre for Research on Play in Education, Development and Learning (PEDAL), Whitebread, Baker, Gibson and a team of researchers hope to provide evidence on the role played by play in how a child develops.
'A strong possibility is that play supports the early development of children's self-control,' explains Baker. 'This is our ability to develop awareness of our own thinking processes - it influences how effectively we go about undertaking challenging activities.'
spontaneous (adj): bất ngờ
unpredictable (adj): không thể đoán được
impact (n): ảnh hưởng possibility (n): khả năng
self-control (n): tự kiểm soát
In a study carried out by Baker with toddlers and young pre-schoolers, she found that children with greater self-control solved problems more quickly when exploring an unfamiliar set-up requiring scientific reasoning. 'This sort of evidence makes us think that giving children the chance to play will make them more successful problem-solvers in the long run.'
If playful experiences do facilitate this aspect of development, say the researchers, it could be extremely significant for educational practices, because the ability to self-regulate has been shown to be a key predictor of academic performance.
Gibson adds: 'Playful behaviour is also an important indicator of healthy social and emotional development. In my previous research, I investigated how observing children at play can�give us important clues about their well-being and can even be useful in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.'
toddler (n): trẻ mới biết đi
pre-schooler (n): trẻ nhỏ tuổi
unfamiliar (adj): không quen thuộc facilitate (n): tạo điều kiện cho
diagnosis (n): chẩn đoán
autism (n): tự kỷ

In my previous research, I investigated how observing children at play can�give us important clues about their well-being and can even be useful in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.'
Whitebread's recent research has involved developing a play-based approach to supporting children's writing. 'Many primary school children find writing difficult, but we showed in a previous study that a playful stimulus was far more effective than an instructional one.' Children wrote longer and better-structured stories when they first played with dolls representing characters in the story. In the latest study, children first created their story with Lego*, with similar results. 'Many teachers commented that they had always previously had children saying they didn't know what to write about. With the Lego building, however, not a single child said this through the whole year of the project.'
Whitebread, who directs PEDAL, trained as a primary school teacher in the early 1970s, when, as he describes, 'the teaching of young children was largely a quiet backwater, untroubled by any serious intellectual debate or controversy.' Now, the landscape is very different, with hotly debated topics such as school starting age.
'Somehow the importance of play has been lost in recent decades. It's regarded as something trivial, or even as something negative that contrasts with "work". Let's not lose sight of its benefits, and the fundamental contributions it makes to human achievements in the arts, sciences and technology. Let's make sure children have a rich diet of play experiences.'

【不要只說「小心陌生人」】(English writing below)
DON'T JUST SAY "BEWARE OF STRANGERS"
保護孩子、培力兒童是大人的責任,不是嗎?可是很多父母都失職了。
兩年前,我寫過這篇文章《防狼之心不可無》:https://www.facebook.com/l.jiqian/posts/10155915660644614
我一貫的影片離不開佛法、風水命理和改命補運的題目。去年,因搬進風水更好的新家,我見的客人多了,收入也增長了一倍。當時,就在想:取之社會,用之社會,因此,就已策劃要拍些社會課題的影片。
為了這支影片,去年特別拉隊回到我童年的居住地區拍攝。第一次這樣的拍攝,收音方面沒做好,請您多多包涵。
孩子被熟人性侵,會造成孩子一輩子的陰影,其殺傷力比很多病毒來得更深、更痛。
蔑倫越理的邪淫,會種下未來無窮盡的禍根, 死後墮入畜牲道,百千劫難得人身,但依然有加害者執迷不悟,以為能一手遮天。
因此,身為父母和教育者,我們都有責任教導孩子正確的身體自主權,及如何拒絕和向可信任的大人求助。
三十多年前,我母親苦口婆心教導我多年,今天,我做這影片,適合大人小孩一同觀看。除了希望小孩子能學到自我保護的能力,我也期盼他們未來不會成為性暴力的加害者,將來還能幫助其他的孩子脫離被加害的困境。 ❤️

Empowering and protecting children are the responsibilities of adults, right? Yet, there are many parents who have failed in this aspect.
Two years ago, I wrote an article "What my mum taught me about wolves": https://www.facebook.com/l.jiqian/posts/10155915660644614
My usual videos revolve around the topics of Buddhism, Chinese Metaphysics, destiny transformation and luck improvement.
Last year, after moving into a new house of better Feng Shui, the number of clients I seen increased and my income doubled. At that time, I had this thought: what is taken from the people should be used in the interests of the people. Hence, I made plans to do videos on societal issues.
For this video, I went back to my childhood neighbourhood with the filming crew. This is my first time producing such a video, and I seek your tolerance for the lacklustre audio.
There are many illnesses that one can recover from, but a child who has suffered sexual abuse from a known person may never lead a healthy life again.
Immoral sexual misdeeds sow the seeds for endless misfortunes in one's future. Upon death, one will be hurled into the animal realm and be denied of the human form for hundreds and thousands of kalpas. Yet, sexual predators are persisting in their acts, naively thinking that they can get away with it.
As parents and educators, we have the responsibility to teach our children body safety skills, and how to reject sexual advances and seek help from trusted adults.
30 over years ago, my mum had taught me this painstakingly over many years. Today, I am paying forward by producing this video that is suitable for both the adults and children to watch.
I hope for more children to learn self-protection abilities, and that they will not become the sexual predators that we abhor. Who knows? Perhaps in the future, they may even help free other children from being sexual preys. ❤️
