Let the children play freely, no adults involved,
Toddlers hunting and gathering, that's how we evolved.
Pretend play is good, rough-and-tumble even better,
Both develop life skills, mental former, physical latter.
Let them make the rules, let them falter and rise,
Let them indulge because they want to, not for appreciation or prize.
They'll slowly develop a sense, they have control over one's life,
Wont feel pressured by parents, or the promises of the afterlife.
Let them take risks, be there, to put them back on their feet,
Lets prepare both the road and the child- in this case lets halfway meet.
They'll slowly get a sense, they can successfully wade through life,
Feeling supported by others, take both ups and downs in their stride.
If you insist, I'll let him play, away from my prying eyes,
That he'll be happy, adjusted and resilient- better not be lies.
