Carmen Cabrera is co-founder of the child and family revitalization project through the game 'La Ludoneta' in Castellón, besides - and above all - she is the mother of two children. An entrepreneurial mother who has proposed to publish a book called "The Free Game: source of happiness", and for this she has chosen crowdfunding through the Verkami platform.
I know that when this book sees the light I will like it, and I know that many of you will enjoy your reading, I know it because I know Carmen, and I have proof of her experience and dedication to this very important facet of child development that is the game. But you should also know that the editorial project is born from the observations and reflections of almost three decades of work in different fields, but also of countless conversations with other mothers, and above all, of the concern to return happiness to children.
This book aims, not only to help return free play, non-directed play, to girls and boys, but also to show mothers and fathers (and adults in general) the benefits that it brings to coexistence and personal development and also the relaxation that involves entering this wonderful game world
The author tells us that Free play has been the main activity of girls and boys of all times and places in the world, but in recent years it has largely disappeared. It is natural, then, that Carmen has an interest in contributing her grain of sand to return the free game and show the benefits it brings.
I think it is very important that all of us who relate in some way to the world of children and we have the opportunity to spread the idea of the game as necessary for the development of the kids, let us also make our reflections, in our case - and as a result of them - we have counted on some occasion that there is no better extracurricular activity than the game, also that the game (and the toys) brings benefits to the children, and we have positioned the game as a Children's Right; They are just examples.
Are you curious to know more about "The Free Game. Source of Happiness"? Well, I have to tell you that it opens our eyes to the fact thathas been displaced by a multitude of directed activities and focused on the fulfillment of the objective, however these do not help children to get excited, nor to facilitate their social relationships, therefore it is urgent to recover it. Do we dare with it?
Here you have more information to know the project, and if you are interested in making any contribution. I tell you that people who contribute 60 euros will receive a totally handmade board game worth € 45 to play as a family - in addition to the paper book + ebook -. It is called 'The game of play' and allows you to set rules according to the moment.
With the money raised through all contributions, the book will be self-published in DIN A5 format, which consists of 72 pages, and will be available for sale on the Free Game website, as well as in online bookstores, for a price around 12 euros. Surely we can see it already in early or mid-November
You know, this is a book that draws attention to an activity that has now decreased dangerously.
