Children Circle of Life In Indonesia

Childhood should be the happiest moment in life. When I was a child, I enjoyed the day playing out. There were no gadgets at that time, so all children liked to play out. Today, gadgets have made some changes in children's circle of life.

Bekasi , West Java July, 25 ,2021

While I am writing about the covid crisis. In the early crisis of 2020, I did not allow my kids to play out. I could keep my kids at home, but finally, they got bored and went out. I could do nothing.
Today, in July 2021 , the second lockdown in my country. In the first week, I kept my kids at home, but again, all my kids got bored. They went out without my notice. My neighbours did the same as I did. They asked their kids to stay at home, but finally their kids went out.

Indonesian children like playing out

I think all children like playing out. It is common in Indonesia that children are allowed to play out. After school, the children will meet their friends. They have seasonal toys like kites, marbles, bikes, and other toys. They also like to play hide and seek, tug of war, and other traditional games.

On rainy days, some children like to play in the rain. They enjoy the rain. They run here and there. I as a father, also allow my kids to play in the rain. Some parents are afraid if their kids play in the rain. It is simple to stay healthy after playing in the rain. After all the kids finish playing, I ask them to take a bath or shower with shampoo. After that, I give them hot tea or hot milk with some snacks.

Children like to get social

Almost all the children here like to get social. They hang out with their friends. I am not sure what they are talking about. Most parents also watch over their kids while playing. Sometimes, I warn some kids when they are playing in front of my house. One of the kids used wood or a stick to hit his friend while playing. I warned the kid to throw out the wooden stick because it was dangerous. When everything is safe and secure, all parents will let their kids play together.
Not all areas in Indonesia have the same circle of friendship as my area. I live in a low housing class family. It is different when you visit a high class housing residence because you will not find kids playing there. Most rich families will keep their children at home. The children are supplied with some modern gadgets like Nintendo, phones with wifi, and play stations. When you enter a high class housing residence, you will see the streets are quiet. It is different from low class housing families. There are too many kids playing in the streets.

Which is Indonesia? Low class family or high class family?

All Indonesians have unique characters. Finally, all the kids in all of the classes will meet at school. Children that are accustomed to playing out and getting social will be more sociable at school. How about children in your country?

I'm looking at those kids and thinking : ''How many things they don't know about this world !''. They are just like angels. They will learn everything by time and something maybe hidden for them forever.

Kids are the most honest people. When they are happy, they will smile and when they are sad, they will cry.

For sure. I have a little almost 4 years boy myself. I spend a lot of time with him and see him how honest he is, how emotional, and how naive he is. All the kids are like this and they learn this life hard. Especially in the time we are living now. They should be even more powerful then we were. We should prepare for them to make their life easier. I think the blockchain can help us in that. That's good if we see more young people joining here because we may learn from them as well.

This reminds me of my neighborhood in Cambodia very much. It is much better to live like this than a wealthy community where everyone hides behind their gates and doors, always afraid of what may or may not happen. Here in Suriname, the living is very anti-social, even in poorer neighborhoods people keep to themselves and interact very little on the street. It's quite depressing, and really hard to make friends under these circumstances.

Asean countries live in communal society. If you ever visit a wedding ceremony in Asean country, there will be many families, friends, relatives and neighbours enjoy the celebration. That situation is very sociable. All people are happy meeting a lot of friends and families.
