		<description>i agree with the professor and the other member's comments. i have a 18 year old down syndorme afected sis in law. my mother in law and relatives had a hard time teaching her anything normal like table setting and stuff early on when i got married, 7 years ago. i had some friends who were teachers and they encouraged me to teach her able setting, serving food, etc but all the time making it like a game. and it worked. what our elders could not do with the traditional approcah, i ws ablr to teach in 4 days bec it felt like a game..today despite being a down syndrome child, she beats her mother at table setting....
 i feel more and more people should understand the importance of play in the upbringing of a child. it helps them develop and in lots of ways, i have seen it also opens their minds.....</description>

		<description>I totally agree with the professor about the significance of playing.
I think that is the best way to teach  and when u teach a particular think in a playful manner the children will listen attentively.

I think in early childhood, most of the children have an IMAGINERY FRIEND
with whom they talk and share everything.</description>
