Stress Management
The benefits of play include creativity, release of tension and stress, and relaxation.
* Plan active play time with your children outdoors. Play in the leaves.
* Enjoy board games or card games with your children or friends.
* Wear a costume on Halloween − or any day, just for the fun of it.
* Playing games like chess and playing a musical instrument challenge the brain and can help prevent memory problems, as well as improve brain function.
