[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] Actress Shin Ae-ra shared her own way of playing with children.

On the 5th, Shin Ae-ra appeared on Channel A's 'These Days Parenting - My Precious Child' and answered questions related to parenting.

In the broadcast, Shin Ae-ra and Jang Young-ran empathized with the daily life of having to spend all their time on parenting as children's time at home lengthened due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

In particular, Jang Young-ran said, "Since we can't go outside, I installed a trampoline at home," and asked Shin Ae-ra how she plays with her children.

In response, Shin Ae-ra said, "Like other mothers, I bought book sets, held my child, gave toys, and tried to play, but as the child grew, I realized how wrong that was," and explained, "The best toy is nature."

She added, "It's good to go to a nearby park or mountain," emphasizing, "The important thing then is that the mother should not take the lead."

Shin Ae-ra explained in detail, "If the child shows interest in soil, don't stop them, but ask, 'How does the texture feel?' Parents need to show enough interest and empathy in what the child is curious about," and said, "Play that stimulates the five senses exists in nature."
