Choosing A Subdivsion
By Erika Ayala
Do you know that choosing a subdivision for your family home affects your children's growth and development? Based on observation, through my friends and relatives, children whose homes are in villages and children whose homes are not within any subdivision relate differently to other people. The children's relational skills can be obviously seen when you see them play with each other. But if they are alone, it isn't that obvious. What I am saying here is that choosing an environment for your home can definitely affect you, most especially your children. Let me give you two children to make my points clearer. Luis, a 6 year old kid and Paolo, a 7 year old both study in the same school but live in different communities. Luis stays in a subdivision in the upper east while Paolo is living in a house without any community. Both of them are sons of my close friends. During afternoon playtime hours, Luis goes out with other kids and play bike or sometimes jack-stones with his neighbors. It is normal for him to meet new friends around his village because he is used with that kind of environment. He also watches television like other kids but he prefers to play with his playmates and interact with them. On the other hand, Paolo doesn't have neighbors like of Luis'. Even though he wants to play outside with his neighbors, it would be dangerous for him because they are not enclosed in a village or subdivision. Each time he goes out, he needs to be cautious of the cars passing by the busy road. Because of where his home is situated, he would just stay inside their home instead. His usual afternoon playtime would be with the computer or television. Now when you observe both of them together in a playroom with other kids, you would see how friendly and sociable Luis is. He is not afraid to talk to other kids about anything. While for Paolo, he seems quiet but still talk. The timid attitude can be seen and it is difficult for him to communicate naturally. We have observed how much their homes can affect their relational skills. Kids can express themselves freely if you let them to. Paolo was only limited to few environments like his home and school. So if you bring him in a different set-up, it would take long for him to adjust. For parents, you should consider where you are locating your home. Most children who live in a good subdivision, with neighbors to interact, are most likely better in relating to other people. Their communication skills improve, at the same time with their confidence. Their self-esteem is boosted knowing that they have friends with them. In addition to that, it is safer to stay in a subdivision. The community is guarded and the streets are not that busy compared to main roads outside a subdivision. If I were you, I will consider investing a home located in a subdivision. Surely the benefits are far great for our families.

It would seem to me that possibly the children reflect the attitudes of their parents and the reasons they choose they kind of community they live in.
