EDUCATION experts advise schools to allow kids to play.
This as more and more pupils in lower grades find themselves involved in criminal activities such as gangsterism, carrying guns to schools, bullying, fighting and stabbings.
“What we read in the newspapers about children exhibiting troubled behaviour are signs of psychological problems. We need to be involved to help them work through their troubles,” Education psychologist, Sinovuyo Arosi said.
In her view, the first step in dealing with the issue is fostering a healthy environment wherein kids are kept busy through playing as this stimulates their psychological, cognitive, social and emotional well-being.
