Popsicle stick cities, card towers, even buildings out of blocks, or?forts?out of boxes or pillows, will do just fine. If you want to get competitive, whoever builds the highest tower wins.PuzzlesExercise those creative, cognitive and problem-solving muscles with a good puzzle. You can use a store-bought variety or have the kids make their own. Have your children draw a picture on a sturdy piece of cardboard or Bristol board. Then use a pencil to outline puzzle pieces directly on their drawing. Cut out the pieces with a good pair of scissors, mix them up and get solving.Available at < ;.

You can buy rubber horseshoe sets these days, which are much more kid-friendly than traditional metal horseshoes.?Potato Sack RaceSack races, aka "gunny races," became popular at carnivals in the 1800s, and they're still a hoot today. All you need is a burlap sack or large, sturdy pillow case for each participant (it should reach their waist), and plenty of space for them to hop to the finish line. If you don't have sacks on hand, a three-legged race is a fun and easy alternative. Try pairing kids with adults!Available at < ;.

Soccer. Mudpies. Climbing Trees. Is there anything more fun in the world than playing? Pure, child-like freedom where anything is possible and anything goes. Nowadays, much of play is indoors. Computer games. TV. PS3 (or whatever version they’re on now). Something seems to be missing: Joy? Shared connection? The carefree laughter has been replaced by the quick jabs of a controller.Outdoors, a child learns on multiple levels with each new adventure (Burdette and Whitaker, 2005). With all of the imaginary castles, lands, creatures, the brain develops at a much faster rate than for those who play indoors. There are numerous effects. Not only do they become better learners, and do well in school, but they are more fun to be around (i.e. they make more friends)--everyone wants to play with the kid with the active imagination! Consequently, children will be much happier because, hey, they’re smart and they have a lot of friends. All of this comes from just playing outside; you can bake many loaves in the same oven.Available at < ;.

He talks about 'empathising' brains and 'systemising' brains. Men are more likely to have systemising brains while women are more like to have empathising brains.This can mean that women are generally more able to identify and talk about their feelings than men. Women also tend to have a better memory for emotionally laden material. On the whole, in my counselling experience I have noticed that men often find it harder to express their feelings.Available at < ;. Accessed in: April 2017Do women cry more than men?As stereotypes go, it is one of the oldest. But women do shed a tear more often than men, a study shows.The researchers said hormonal differences between the sexes could be to blame, but social conditioning plays a part too.Women well up between 30 and 64 times a year, while men shed a tear between six and 17 times per year, the study found.

Why do they do that? And why aren’t they happy? It is because brains have a variety of chemical systems that regulate their electrical activities in waking and sleeping, and the addictive drugs artificially stimulate those systems, but the feelings are not those of joy.For example, a chemical called ‘dopamine‘ is broadly spread through the brain by specialized nerve cells when a person achieves some kind of reward, such as by satisfying hunger and thirst, winning a game, or passing an examination. Dopamine is often called a “reward hormone.” Its chemical actions are produced also by closely-related compounds such as amphetamine and cocaine. They give feelings of buoyant optimism, energy, power, and knowledge.This same chemical linked to drug addiction?may also contribute to obesity, researchers have found.Benefits of being happyThe study of positive psychology is encouraging more researchers to study the proactive prevention of illness by identifying attitudes and personality traits that contribute to positive mood and increase quality of life. For example, happy people, as compared with less happy people, tend to have greater immune system function, a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and report greater marriage and job satisfaction. It is therefore valuable to develop a deeper understanding of the positive affect by investigating its biological basis. Several studies have begun to investigate potential biological markers of positive affect.Available at < ;.

A teardrop running down the cheek is the ultimate symbol of sadness, but people may also cry because they just cut an onion, or maybe they're trying to blink out a rogue eyelash.For the most part, tears help maintain healthy eyes, experts told Live Science. For instance, basal tears flow continuously from the lacrimal glands, or the tiny almond-shaped structure in the inside corner of the eye. When you blink, basal tears clean and lubricate the eyes. This makes the eyes' outer surface smooth, and?helps you to see clearly, according to the?American Academy of Ophthalmology.Available at < ;.

The game, based on the ancient mathematical game of Nim, was played by about 50,000 people during the six months it was on display, with the computer reportedly winning more than 90 percent of the games.However, the first game system designed for commercial home use did not emerge until nearly three decades later, when Ralph Baer and his team released his prototype, the “Brown Box,” in 1967.The Modern Age Of GamingSince the early 2000s, Internet capabilities have exploded and computer processor technology has improved at such a fast rate that every new batch of games, graphics and consoles seems to blow the previous generation out of the water. The cost of technology, servers and the Internet has dropped so far that Internet at lightning speeds is now accessible and commonplace, and 3.2 billion people across the globe have access to the Internet. According to the ESA Computer and video games industry report for 2015, at least 1.5 billion people with Internet access play video games.Technology allows millions around the world to enjoy gaming as a shared activity. The recent ESA gaming report showed that 54 percent of frequent gamers feel their hobby helps them connect with friends, and 45 percent use gaming as a way to spend time with their family.Available at < ;.

What has changed when we compare our current life with that of previous years?When electronic games did not exist or when they were very expensive, young people spent more time close to their family and friends. Today, all forms of contact are mostly virtual and families and friends are surrounded by gadgets that mediate communication between them and with little face-to-face contact. ................
