Humans are social beings, who crave relationships and a sense of belonging. The extent to which we are successful in forging long lasting relationships in adulthood, is determined to a great deal, by the level of social development that we have had, as children. Parents, today, are more conscious and involved in the all-round development of their children. To ensure adequate social development, children need to interact with their peers.
Abundance of open space at ARIANA
Due to the scarcity and prohibitive cost of land, the typical style of construction is favoured by most real estate developers. With every available sq ft of space being put to use in construction, there is little open space left for gardens where children can play.
However, at Trimurty’s Ariana approximately 74% area is reserved for green & open space. Insuring an open & non-clumsy environment for children. In addition, each block (five in total) has a games room with provision of several board games.
Why play areas for children are necessary in housing projects
Only when children are allowed to run free in open spaces, can they learn by exploring their surroundings. The thrill of being able to negotiate a space and the possible hurdles, like swings, slides, etc., gives children a sense of competence and success increases their confidence. Not being in a structured environment, allows children to let their imagination take flight – a slide could become a castle where their band of playmates can spend hours thinking up new battles and conquests!
Mixing with other children, making friends on their own and learning to get along with others, are all important aspects of a child’s social and emotional development. Children learn empathy and the meaning of being fair and respecting the other’s opinion. The playground often has its own rules and hierarchy and children need to make their own place in this micro-universe.
All this is not possible, when they are cloistered in closed spaces, with adults dictating what they should do next.
