When you wander around the old and modern neighborhoods, you do not find alive that is free of squares suitable for the gathering of the neighborhood and playing together, and these arenas are either small gardens, which are not without children’s games: such as the wind, and zakat, or are squares and playgrounds affiliated with a social center or a youth center in the region, or other squares, but you will notice in your tour that the majority of these arenas are without children and youth You do not find a paralysis of the neighborhood of the neighborhood who play together almost daily, and they interact together and accompany, and if you find children playing with them, they may not be from the neighborhood, so you do not find them playing together collectively, so they do not have a relationship of goodness, kinship or companionship.
If I asked one of the children of the good generation about his memories in the neighborhood’s stadiums with the children of the neighbors, he will tell you the most beautiful stories and the funniest positions and his heart is with joy, so team play with the neighborhood sons enhances the companionship between them and has a great impact on the upbringing of children, it contributes to building physical, psychological and social health for them, and during team play with the neighborhood, children learn life skills that they do not learn anywhere Since his childhood, the skills of engaging in the group of friends, acquiring leadership skills, trains in respecting the role, getting used to apologizing when wrong, acquiring the skills of containing differences between the parties of one team or as they used to call it “the group of friends”, as he learns communication and communication skills with others, and acquires the ability to build friendships.
Many psychological studies such as the study of the social psychologist, Eric Ericsson, have proven that free play with peers in childhood is the cornerstone of the formation of self -confidence and others. The child graduates from the neighborhood’s stadiums and has gained social skills that are difficult to learn in school, which are necessary skills for social life and professional life alike.
Playing in the neighborhood develops a feeling that it is part of a larger entity, which enhances his loyalty to the place, such as the neighborhood, the homeland, and the people, such as the disturbance of friends, family, and tribe, and makes him realize the concept of social responsibility, and I see that team play among the neighborhood’s children has a greater effectiveness than team play among children who came from different regions to join a football program or basketball courses or other group games, the relationship of neighborhood is reinforced between all Family members to constitute a close social interdependence between families, which is a reason to consolidate social relations between neighbors and strengthen the ties between them, and the results of a study conducted at Harvard University have stopped me that children who participate in collective games in a safe societal environment are more able to work in a team when they grow up, and I do not know whether the absence of children’s upbringing in the neighborhood arenas reduced their ability to work team Relationships between employees in work environments? A question that imposes itself!
Yes .. Our children are the formation of mobile screens and the programs and videos they reflect, yes .. they are isolated behind the screens from social life and the direct interaction between the groups. This is a global phenomenon that has become an issue that haunts breeders everywhere in the world, so there was an initiative from some government schools in Japan to organize group games in the neighborhoods and among the people of the neighborhood themselves, and the results of the initiative indicate that they have reduced social isolation in children. Yes .. it is an initiative that has proven successful, but was it generalized to be part of the culture of society? A question that imposes itself.
Playing with the children of a single neighborhood is not just a time that is stable in the life of the child, but rather a space for learning, growth and character formation. It is an ancient educational heritage that deserves to be preserved, and reinforces it in our modern societies, and if technology has kept children from social life, playing in the neighborhood arenas is able to bring them together, and enhance their affiliation with the neighborhood and thus enhance their affiliation with the entire country. O fathers, the neighborhood arenas call your children, and they will call the call … and you are safe.
