While going to water bodies, do you allow children to play in water and sand?

Swarnaji We go to Puri sea beach usually with son, daughter in law and grand kids, the grand kids love making sand homes and play there, i have enjoyed bathing there; kalyani will never, some guys take pictures of women in wet clothes.

I see no reason to not let your children play in the water and sand. It's a good idea to not let them go in too deep, which is what you do, and make sure you're watching them, especially younger children. I don't see how it can harm them. They're only children once.

Why talk of childhood? I still would love to wade in knee deep water, scream with delight when a huge wave rushes in to drench me up to my hips and also splash around in a waterfall; but I am scared of depth and I get a bit perturbed when I see a vast expanse of water. I love only shallow streams and rivulets or crystal clear waterfalls with mild force. I always warn children to be careful of water and would not allow them deep in but I don’t mind playing around in a safe manner. Who does not like it?

I think it is good to let them enjoy the place where we take them. Taking children to beach and not allowing them to play near water or in sand makes no sense to take them there. I would definitely allow my children to enjoy the place they are in. But i will surely watch over them. We should let children free so that they are not under burden and also get out of their comfort zone, i would not mind a bruise or cut at this, they tend to learn when they fall.

Hi, Not only chldren, i also enjoy being in water or play with sand. Oh, just the other day i was playing in the sand with few little kids in our locality's park where they have dumped sand, cement and stones for the purpose of making the road inside the colony. usually i am with the kids to take care and to stop them whenever required as they only know how to enjoy but they can't understand how much deep/far or near they can be allowed.

Hi ! I believed children must be allowed to play water and sand with the supervision of the adults. All children even big ones love to play in water and sand. It gives children the chance to explore and experienced nature . This also allows the children to have socialization with other children. The laughters of the kids here are very priceless !
