An adult in sandplay!


Recently when Anna and I were at a beach, I noticed a man fully engrossed in making a castle!

I drew his attention to have a conversation!

He recalled how going to the beach to play with his parents and brother was one of his favourite childhood outings!

Forty years later, he still treasures those memories!  

What we invest on children would last for a life time! Let me suggest that every family needs a plan on investing on children! It ought to be a conscious activity with weekends dedicated for this purpose!

Arpit and Anandit used to mark the wall calendar with coloured pencils days on the week ends we had planned for family activities. They could not be negotiated for anything else unless a suitable alternate time was found!

Children need parental presence and shared times for their formative development!
