Today’s enchanting video games have left very little room for raw imagination that encourages children to devise a play on their own.
The modern recreational devices have impaired our children’s sense of adventure that has significantly dwindled the level of age-appropriate activity in kids. This is the reason why most children show decreased academic performance in schools and less enthusiastic attitude in the playgrounds.
Children spend more than 28 hours of their week in front of a screen-based device, which exceeds the nominal limit of 14 hours a week advised by the researchers. As a parent, it is a matter of concern to me that my child is missing out on all the fun that I had as a kid. If we do not take proper measures today, we might lose our kids to the technology. It is important for us to understand that where video games bring a lot of ways for kids to learn new things, they are also introducing myriad physiological and Psychological disorders that have the tendency to hinder the overall development of children.
School playground equipment and other indoor and outdoor play structures are the crucial elements that significantly impact the growth of children. But the question is, how do we get our kids to love adventure the way we did? Child fiction might have the answer.
Why Fiction Matters?It is hard to get kids to love the outdoor playground equipment or anything remotely close to non-screen recreation. Fortunately, child fiction can be of great help. Most fantasy and adventure books fill children’s minds with unrealistic ideas about the world, which are deemed inappropriate by some parents. So instead of letting children engage with the world of flying saucers and magic brooms, they let their children become a victim of aggression oriented virtual games.
A growing body of scientific study shows that children are immensely moved by the young fiction protagonists. Children learn about the endeavors of the young protagonist and try to recreate them through active play. Fiction can help children imagine and expand the horizon of their imagination. So, if you find it hard to get your kids out in the sun, let the child fiction handle their obstinate behavior. Expose your children to a good amount of popular fiction and encourage them to learn more. (Percy Jackson and Harry Potter might be able to evoke the sense of adventure in your child that your boring dinner speech could not.)
I understand how much busy you are. So to save you the trouble of surfing through countless children’s fiction books, I have prepared a list of child fiction books for your children. You probably have heard about or possibly read a few. But even if you haven’t, you will find them highly captivating. Here’s the well-sorted list:

The good part is that winters also bring snow which opens up unlimited opportunities for fun and winter play for kids and grownups alike.
