Monitored free play

Come evening, children are send to the play area and sandpit for free play, but bored mothers soon start making sure that the time is spent constructively. They start making geometric patterns of triangles and circle and encourage toddlers recognize and to do the same (toddlers try to keep some distance from such moms). Older kids are hawk watched- what the child does, says, etc and constantly reprimanded every ten seconds.Quite a few kids accompanied by a maid, and totally abide by her will, usually confined to a corner where maid and her friends can gossip for hours, such kids operate on mute, non messy,solo, non kinetic kinda play. So much for free play time.
