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!

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!
