Board games
But play is not only important for children! Playing games with your partner, friends, co-workers or children is a safe (and fun) way to stimulate imagination and emotional well-being and keeps your brain young and active.Most of us try to strike a balance between digital activities and the real world every day. Despite the growing opportunities to connect in the digital environment, many people in modern society suffer from loneliness. It doesn't always mean that we don't have people in our lives, but that we don't feel truly connected to them. Board games can help insecure children, but also adults, to establish relationships with others more easily. Playing analog games, especially cooperative games in which all players cooperate, is a great way for kids to learn the importance of teamwork. Board games also help adults deal with stress. Playing games with a component of luck equalizes the chances of winning for all players, and gives parents the opportunity to show by example how to lose. In this sense, board games enable conflict resolution and frustration in a controlled environment. When we play, we look at things in new ways because the rules of the game put us in new situations, different frameworks and bring new rules. When we constantly practice seeing things from a new perspective Board games also help adults to cope with stress.
