CONCLUSION
Remember play is the heartbeat of a child’s world. This is how
they learn and have fun. We should never deprive a child of play,
even a special child. Play is not a waste of time.
Based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Child, every child has Developmental Rights and this covers the
right to leisure and play. Through play children develop
imagination and self-expression, learn cooperation and team
work.
So, I reiterate from my introduction, let the children play!
