Children often have a characteristic not always welcomed or understood by adults, this is the energy and vitality they have all the time, from waking up to lying down, unless they suffer some discomfort, that energy seems to never run out.
It is common to see some malls and businesses have created points of games and entertainment for children, kindergartens and schools also spend unique physical space for children to play and have fun.
But what about at home?, Is there a place intended for them, their energy and curiosity?.
It seems that the family had forgotten to take into account when designing the house, the room or the park, the characteristics of children.
How does a child living at home?.
If it is common to hear some parents to call attention to their children because they watch too much TV or use the computer too, but what else can be done at home without disturbing the rest of the citizens?.
Apparently this could be an issue not related to health, but of course it is.

Children need to channel their energy, either in constructive and destructive games. They need to experience the possibilities of theirs potential.
Many adults have a hard time because they have not the energy and patience to give attention to kids, and that may adversely affect them more than the little ones.
It is a scientifically proven fact the effect of laughter and play in health, as it affects the immune system. And if we do not allow that wish to experiment happens at an early age, not only affects the present health but also the future
If you live with a child who sick to much or has no vitality try to create a place for him, unique for his game.
Annoyed that the child messed, dirty, paints what not must, breaks things with the ball, lie, makes noise, yells, etc. So, create a place, which may be his room, where he was allowed to do all this, taking care to prepare so that he does not take risks.
Recessed lights, protected outlet, too little furniture or built into the wall, a wall exclusive to drawings, ready to make trampoline with mattresses, etc..

Make an amusement park inside and outside to your home, think about the nature of the child and let he lives as such.
We have a world full of older kids, frustrated with his game, which never allowed to be uncivilized, destructive, noisy, messy, because they had to learn.
But, provided it is not a risk to their safety, it is important to let them be, takes off the urge, to experience and have a place to do it. Thus everybody maintain their mental health.
Silence is important for someone who is tired, who worked all day, as important as it is for a child scream.
And what better than to think about it, and do it, give them the opportunity and place to not lose that wonderful vitality.

Note: This article was inspired by the following situation.
Trying to rest the mind I retired into my room's silence, few minutes, until two little kids appeared, unaware of my intention and began to jump on me, screamed, threw the mattresses, fought, made laps, etc, and while I did not come forward to playing with them as usual, just watched and thought about the possibilities for children to play in their own homes.
And I remembered how I ever bothered to find cartoons made with crayons on the newly painted wall, the screams when I wanted silence or listening to something else ... and I understand that is not easy.
But: I voluntarily give up my room for they turn it up, I allow it to get dirty and soiled the house, clutter and fight, walk alone when we ride, I encourage to them to take risks climbing "dangerous" places for their small stature, and I can witness the result, joy and shining eyes. Nothing more healthy for my heart and theirs.
