“I learned from the Learning Through Play program that I
have to give opportunities to children. Before, I would
scold my child for playing. But now, I realize that this is
how they learn, through playing. I need to be patient and
encourage them. I buy them toys and coloured pencils now.
I show them how to play and how to draw, etc.
The Learning Through Play method is very useful for my
children because now that they are getting the
opportunities to play freely, they will have self-confidence.”
