Kids who don't play much also tend to struggle with self-control and learning, experts say, which can haunt them throughout their lives.

Children participate in playground games under the supervision of a coach from Playworks, a non-profit that teaches kids classic games and conflict-resolution strategies.
"Play is really a developmentally significant experience," Vialet told LiveScience. "It helps kids become high-functioning citizens and grown-ups."

Playing must never be separated from kids because it develops all aspects of life.

Definitely. Kids cant be separated from fun and entertainment. These things are essence of childhood.
