Children Like To Daydream, There Are Benefits
Your child is often seen daydreaming? It’s okay, Ma, as long as this habit doesn’t interfere with her daily activities.
Moreover, daydreaming has many benefits, namely:
– Temporary fulfillment of desires that cannot be achieved by the child. For example, he was prohibited from playing basketball on that day. Through daydreaming, it was as if he was playing basketball on the court.
– A source of joy for children, especially when they are not happy with real life. Yes, daydreaming can be a way to reduce stress, because usually things really look beautiful and pleasing to the heart in daydreams.
– Have interests and find their own preoccupations that are not found in the real world. For example, he imagines going to Europe with the whole family, as well as seeing the Eiffel Tower, the London Eye, the Van Gogh Museum, etc.
– Media for the outpouring of emotional burdens (catharsis) for children. For example, a little one who is afraid to appear in front of many people will daydream about appearing in front of them. So, he seemed to do the ‘practice’ before actually practicing later.
– Stimulates creativity. Through daydreams, children often get brilliant ideas. For example, pictures, writing, etc.
