Dear parents, allow children to play games

Pupils have fun playing games during break at Kisii Primary School. [Denish Ochieng, Standard]

I have noted with concern parents holding their children in houses with the excuse that they want to protect them.

Children are also being tasked with the responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings. Some even think allowing their children to play would be a waste of time. This is a result of a grave misunderstanding stemming from the ignorance of how children's behavior revolves. It limits them from spending their time playing with their peers.
