During my early years, it was a time when technology had not yet dominated our lives, allowing children to spend their days immersed in genuine, face-to-face interactions. Playtime meant gathering in the neighborhood streets, parks, or courtyards, where laughter echoed through the air as friendships were forged through games of hide-and-seek, tag, or by biking all day long. The simple joy of connecting with friends without the intrusion of screens created a vibrant sense of camaraderie and belonging.
